Why not? The story seems to be about what you'd expect. Man is disabled, loses the use of his arm, isn't much fit to be a factory worker no matter how loyal he is. But he's getting paid 90% of his previous salary in workman's compensation for his disability. The system appears to be working as intended, he was caught by the safety net. There's obviously a tragedy that the injury occurred but there is no country in the world where you can escape the possibility of employer negligence leading to injury.

A few European countries do have mandatory disabled employee quotas to address this issue, wherein some 5% of your workforce is expected to be disabled or else you pay a levy to a disability safety net fund, but this is an exception more than the rule and even Europeans can be wildly prejudiced against disabled people. Just a week ago I was talking to a German game developer complaining about it, saying that they have no use for disabled persons and that they'd rather begrudingly pay the fine than ever hire one. When pressed upon the fact that surely someone who was deaf or wheelchair-bound would have a place in a desk job like game development, they insisted that disabled people abuse the system and don't do work even if they're able to. Even with strong government policy in place, it's pretty hard to address the kind of hiring stigma that comes from grassroots bigotry.
