「重庆奉节数百尘肺矿工集体维权，要求当局兑现救治政策（2026.08.25—09.08）」8月25日至9月8日，数百名尘肺病矿工持续集体维权，多次前往重庆市奉节县人力资源和社会保障局，要求当地政府兑现政策，提供相应的医疗救治与兜底保障。据工人介绍，他们曾在奉节县、巫溪县境内的煤矿从事井下作业，因长期暴露于煤尘、矽尘环境而罹患尘肺病。2005年至2021年期间，因矿难频发以及污染等原因，奉节县、巫溪县陆续关停了境内所有煤矿。2022年，奉节县卫生健康委员会等多部门曾联合印发了《奉节县关闭煤矿工人离岗后诊断为尘肺病患者救治救助实施方案》（文件号：奉节卫发〔2022〕141号），旨在为煤矿关闭后才确诊尘肺病的工人提供专项生活补助、就业困难补助及兜底性医疗救治。然而，工人表示，相关政策并未得到全面落实。
Hundreds of pneumoconiosis miners in Fengjie, Chongqing, stage collective protests demanding promised medical relief (2026.08.25–09.08)
From August 25 to September 8, hundreds of miners suffering from pneumoconiosis staged repeated collective protests, going to the Fengjie County Human Resources and Social Security Bureau in Chongqing multiple times to demand that the local government honor its policy commitments and provide medical treatment and basic livelihood support. According to the workers, they had worked underground in coal mines in Fengjie and Wuxi counties and developed pneumoconiosis from prolonged exposure to coal and silica dust. Between 2005 and 2021, Fengjie and Wuxi shut down all coal mines within their borders, citing frequent mining accidents and pollution. In 2022, the Fengjie County Health Commission and several other departments jointly issued the “Fengjie County Implementation Plan for the Treatment and Relief of Closed-Mine Workers Diagnosed with Pneumoconiosis After Leaving Their Posts” (Document No. Fengjie Weifa [2022] 141), intended to provide dedicated living allowances, employment-hardship subsidies, and basic medical care to workers diagnosed only after the mines had closed. The workers say, however, that the policy has never been fully implemented.
