The "Wage Negotiation" Mechanism, &Nbsp, Is A Major Step Forward In The Spinning And Weaving Industry.

Since the 1 of this month, many provinces and municipalities have raised the minimum wage standard at the same time, with an average increase of more than 20%.

So far this year, 27 provinces and municipalities have raised or planned to raise minimum wage standards.

The wage boom also lets

As a sample of the wage consultation system in the whole country, the sweater industry of New River town of Wenling will produce the 2010 annual consultation agreement on wages and salaries in August, which will be the eighth agreement since Xinhe Town introduced the wage consultation system of the woollen sweater industry.

The "Wenling model" promoted by trade unions

Raise salaries and raise salaries.

"This year workers' wages are expected to increase by about 10% over last year."

Chen Fuqing's tone affirmed to our reporter.

As the chairman of the trade union of woolen sweater industry in New River Town, Wenling City, Zhejiang, Chen Fuqing will represent 12000 sweater workers in New River town next month, signing 2010 workers.

In the eighth years as chairman of the trade union union, Chen Fuqing, 60, who considers himself a "migrant worker", still rode a bicycle through the streets of New River town.

Bicycle is a witness of Chen Fuqing's work in the 8 years of trade union. Now the bicycle he rode is already "third".

In 8 years, Chen Fuqing had broken two bicycles. He had been knocked down by a motorcycle and had stitched three stitches.

The bicycle also witnessed Chen Fuqing's many cold shoulder when he first became a trade union chairman 8 years ago.

First agreement

"Difficult to see, ugly face, bad words."

Chen Fuqing summed up his initial situation into 9 words.

In early 2003, in order to work out a labor price table acceptable to both employers and employees, Chen Fuqing began to investigate the wage situation of woolen sweater enterprises in New River Town, hoping to get the factory price list, which is a business secret for enterprises.

So at first, no boss was willing to cooperate.

After encountering many closed doors or cold faces, Chen Fuqing turned to the town government. At last, he held the "wage talk Symposium on the staff and workers of the woollen sweater industry" in June 13th of that year. 13 staff representatives and 8 business owners sat together to negotiate.

Chen Fuqing recalled the negotiation process at that time: we made a labor price table based on 5 types of work and 59 processes, and made a secret offer by the workers to the labor price table, while the boss also reported his wages, and then the two sides discussed the controversial labor price.

"In fact, the difference between the two sides is not big, about 10% of the difference."

Chen Fuqing said, but still came back and forth to negotiate more than ten rounds, and made several adjustments to the labor price standard.

The government must come forward to do the work.

The final determined labor price is designated as the lowest wage in the industry.

In August 8, 2003, the New River town trade union representing the employees and the trade associations representing the enterprises signed the consultation agreement on the wage (wages) of the woollen sweater industry, and agreed that the industry wage consultation should be held once a year.

"The agreement is not easy to come by," Chen Fuqing sighed. The wage level before the signing of the agreement is 680 yuan, and the agreement requires "minimum wage of not less than 800 yuan per month", and wages must be issued from 25 to 28 days after the month's output settlement. If there is any difficulty, it will be postponed appropriately.

"The minimum wage is 800 yuan, which was not easy for the whole country at that time."

Chen Fuqing told reporters.

In order to better implement this successful attempt, in August 2003, the New River town sweater industry union was established, and the first industry union of non-public enterprises began.

Chen Fuqing, vice chairman of the town trade union, served as chairman of the trade union.
