12 years of supermarket wages stand still point out the plight of the collective wage negotiations

 Zhou Chang lawyer, at present the mechanism of collective bargaining in wage determination is an important part, can not solve the hopes of their wage distribution is a panacea.

Zhou Chang believes that the root cause lies in labor relations in China is still too much to stay in a particular state of labor relations, individual consultations and bargaining power of workers is often minimal. Non-collective bargaining system, panacea, change the status quo to be three-pronged

Zhou Chang believes that the experience of developed market economies shows that a successful system of collective bargaining between employers and employees is the key to achieve a certain balance of power and the ability to restrict each other, that is fundamental to advancing the bottom-up, if the forest for the trees, simply engage in mandatory legislation consultations will be discarded by employers and employees.

Most supermarkets do with minimum wage standards for wages

Since 1998, Shanghai Carrefour almost did not give employees a raise. According to the Prices have risen more than 3 times. On the other hand, in order to avoid legal risks, in the calculation of wages, the Shanghai Carrefour or even to a program installed on your computer, if workers fail to pay the local minimum wage standards, the computer will automatically use the minimum wage.

minimum wage line swaying. In the state of the Hualian supermarket, the staff reflected a higher wage level than Carrefour, about 150 yuan, the work of more stable, less liquidity.

In fact, the wage negotiation of legislation, has also been repeatedly proposed. January 21, Shanghai Municipal Committee, Mayor Han Zheng of Shanghai Municipal Government put forward a press conference to promote the enterprises to establish a sound mechanism for collective wage negotiations, which, this year, Shanghai will have institutional arrangements to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests.

Believe it or not through the collective wage negotiations, to improve their treatment? When the China Youth Daily reporter asked several supermarket employees, they all shook his head.

This message has been issued, immediately caused a hot debate: the minimum wage into a standard wage to resolve it? Repeatedly failed to break through the Collective Bargaining System?

Chang appears in the opening week, the legal terms of a union collective bargaining is an indisputable fact. Need to be discussed is how to carry out trade union collective bargaining, how to implement the effect of collective bargaining.

By January 1, 2008 implementation of the determined after a party to collective bargaining: (i) labor remuneration; (b) hours of work; (c) rest and leave; (d) occupational safety and health; (e) insurance benefits; (f) staff training; (g) discipline; (h) labor quota; (i) laws and regulations of the other content. Will be held May 1, 2011 implementation of the

However, in 2008, Carrefour union began contract negotiations with employers for the collective, the first three consultations, the French boss has always been entangled in the the union side of the negotiators,

Earlier during the two sessions held in Shanghai, Shanghai People's Congress on Tang was that the collective wage negotiations is a system which needs to pass legislation establishing the legal status of collective wage negotiations, the establishment of mechanisms for collective wage negotiations.

How to raise, or how to increase the dominant wage, and reduce the implicit wages. The private plots will be intended to flatter curve. Ultimately, both sides reached a wage negotiation on the standard In fact, this phenomenon is also being expressed in terms of labor contracts.

January 25, Once activated legislative research, into the collective wage negotiations are expected to regulations, then, wages are no longer the boss said so, all enterprises will be the collective wage negotiations.

This problem is not a cause for concern in Shanghai, January 16, a press conference in Beijing CPPCC, the CPPCC Beijing Municipal Committee, Municipal CPPCC Committee on Social and Legal Affairs, deputy director of former vice chairman Hou Xiaoli City Federation of Trade Unions on the proposal as soon as possible to the local regulations in the form of legislation for collective wage negotiations enterprise, from the system to solve this problem.

Long Town, Putuo District, Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, said Chairman Yang Baoqin: Shanghai can learn from the legislative experience of other provinces and cities, such as Hubei, Yunnan, Zhejiang Province, Fujian Province, through local legislation, on the enterprises to carry out clear provisions for collective wage negotiations, to the work labeled > Zhou Chang was not in favor of this view. In his view, if you must advance through coercive means to accelerate the words of collective bargaining, legislation at the most important matters of the start of some of the mandatory consultation process, and outcome of the consultations can not be mandatory, such as corporate layoffs, shut down and so on.

At the recent Shanghai during the two sessions, Carrefour has become a hot focus of the event. The minimum wage into the wage negotiation standard line, to was the Shanghai People's Congress, Shanghai Chemical Union Chairman Huang Tai-out criticism. He believes the government should introduce more inclusive annual average wage line, and should be disposable after-tax wages of workers should not be a pre-tax wages. Staff should be the industry's average wage in Shanghai line is the standard line, combined with the efficiency of enterprises, in consultation with business, this is the most scientific results of the consultation.

Collective Bargaining Legislation controversial

The facts have proved that low wages makes Shanghai Carrefour's stores to a

Recently, the China Youth Daily reporter at a Carrefour store in Shanghai, interview, found in stores, almost all wearing red or blue clothing manufacturers such as special staff. According to the store employee said the employees wear such clothing is not Carrefour's own employees, but the manufacturer sent the promoters.

According to the store for a security briefing, as security, he regarded as the official staff of Carrefour, the basic salary of 1,200 yuan, net of four gold and other expenses, only 1,100 yuan. He has worked in the shop more than a year, I heard that in April this year, may have to raise, so, like other employees, still waiting, very few. Large chain supermarkets, low wages, not only a Carrefour, China Youth Daily reporter Lotus, Wal-Mart and other large supermarket a few foreign reporters, but also understand that these supermarket Carrefour employee wages and similar hand Revenue in 1100 ~ 1200 yuan, with Shanghai the minimum wage standard line was flat. Recruit a large number of interns, contract less, multi-service workers, but also the prevalence of these supermarkets.

Collective wage negotiations, interview, said, Executive power is relatively weak, as if negotiations remain the standard minimum wage, self-deception is clearly unreasonable. According to Zhou Chang years of research and observation, the vast majority of our country is basically a reference to collective wage negotiations for the national labor standards,

Why is there such a phenomenon? Zhou Chang that the direct reason is that our system of salary and employment system is too rigid. In recent years, as countries continue to strengthen the labor contract system and the reform of the wage distribution, so that enterprises and employment elasticity is greatly reduced. Many companies are lamenting labor Meanwhile, many companies have explicit wage wage wage and implicit division, there are explicit benefits and implicit welfare difference.

Zhou Chang believes that if you want to change this situation, we must labor standards, labor contract and collective contract system level three Collective bargaining alone, it should be in accordance with the First, the government side, should develop and implement the minimum wage, of collective wage negotiation process, methods and techniques, and strive to the common development of enterprises and workers.
