Teacher reinstated ... days after death
Print Edition
A college which fired a teacher after she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer has reversed its decision ... but the change of heart came too late for Liu Lingli. The 32-year-old died on August 14.
Liu asked for sick leave in July 2014, according to China Youth Daily, but she was subsequently sacked due to “absenteeism.” The English teacher at Lanzhou Jiaotong University’s Bowen College in Lanzhou, capital of northwest China’s Gansu Province, took the matter to court and the decision to fire her was declared invalid. However, the newspaper reported, the ruling wasn’t implemented.
Liu’s mother said the college stopped paying Liu and her medical insurance in September 2014. Due to the high cost of treatment, Liu only went to hospital when extremely ill, which to some extent worsened her condition, she said.
Her death put the college at the center of a media storm and pushed it to respond, the newspaper said.
On Saturday, the college suspended Jiang Xueyun, its personnel director, for “errors” when dealing with Liu’s case.
Yesterday, it revoked the decision to fire her, thepaper.cn reported.
The news website said the college had agreed to pay 57,600 yuan (US$8,660) for lost salary plus 14,400 yuan as compensation for her unfair dismissal.
