If those who re-employed after receiving the labor insurance old-age benefits and participated in the labor accident insurance within 7 days after receiving the labor insurance benefits, they can also participate in the recommendation if their combined seniority is 4 years.

This time, 150 model workers will be selected and publicly commended before Labor Day next year.
