On October 20, the Hunan Federation of Trade Unions (HNFTU) announced 25 "Most Beautiful Service Stations for Outdoor Workers" submitted to the All-China Federation of Trade Unions for 2022 evaluation. Once included in the national list, these stations can receive subsidies or incentive funds for construction, operation, and management, to further improve their construction, operation, and maintenance.

The service station is a heart-warming place for outdoor workers such as sanitation workers, couriers, and migrant workers. It offers "heating service in bitter cold, cooling service in scorching days, a lounge when they are getting tired, and free medicines when they are getting injured", which effectively help solve the workers' practical difficulties in eating, drinking water, resting, and going to the toilet when at work.

HNFTU has promoted the building of service stations for outdoor workers since 2015. Through the mode of joint construction with cooperative units as the main force and self-construction as the supplement, more than 3,000 such stations have been established so far, achieving full coverage in 13 cities and one prefecture provincewide.

It was said that Hunan's 25 service stations selected for national evaluation not only meet the standards of having a unified logo name, reasonable layout, sound service facilities, complete service functions, and standardized management system, and being searchable on the map, but also have their own characteristics in terms of service methods and content, which are well received by the local workers.
