BEIJING, July 20 (Xinhua): China's non-public enterprise wage standards will be jointly agreed by enterprises and trade union representatives China's ACFTU 20th officially announced the "industry-related wage collective bargaining guidance."　　According to this opinion, in the future when China's non-public-owned SMEs formulate their employees ' wage standards, the representatives of the enterprises shall negotiate with trade unions or local trade union representatives, and they cannot be formulated unilaterally by the enterprises. "Because of the small size of these enterprises, the low level of staff, the Organization of labor unions, in the collective bargaining of wages, trade union cadres and workers have" dare not talk about "the problem, in these enterprises alone wage collective bargaining difficulty.　　Renmin, vice president of the National Federation of Trade Unions, explained the background of the introduction of the opinion.　　Collective bargaining for sectoral wages, refers to in the same industry enterprises relatively concentrated area, by the trade union organization on behalf of staff and the same level of enterprise representatives or enterprise representative organizations, in the industry in the enterprise staff wages, labor standards, minimum wage standards, and so on, the collective consultation, the signing of the industry wage special collective contract behavior.　　The labor contract law of the People's Republic of China, January 1, 2008, provides the legal basis for regional collective bargaining in the following regions and the signing of regional industry collective contracts. According to this opinion, the representatives of the trade unions who participate in the collective bargaining are selected by the trade union, in which the Chief consultative Representative is generally chaired by the trade union chairman.　　If the trade union is not formed, the representative of the Workers ' Party shall be selected by the trade union of the trade, and the chief representative may be appointed by the trade union chairman at the corresponding level in the region.　　Enterprise representative organizations, including business federations, entrepreneurs associations, but also including the Federation of Industry and Commerce, trade associations and other business representative organizations. According to the data provided by the whole, in recent years, the construction of collective bargaining system has been developed rapidly. The industrial wage collective bargaining covers both the number of enterprises and workers, with double-digit growth each year.　　By September 2008, China had signed 8,419 collective contracts for industrial wages, up 77.3% from 2007, covering 64,000 companies, 10.3% per cent more than 2007, and 3.9 million for employees, compared with 39% in 2007. Even so, the industrial wage collective contract for the enterprise and staff coverage is not large, in the past three years, the industry-level wage collective contract coverage of enterprises, covering the number of workers in the collective wage contract coverage of enterprises, covering the number of employees, the proportion of workers has not reached 10%.　　"Zhang Yixi said. He said that the focus of collective bargaining of the industry wages, mainly is the industry's minimum wage standards, wage adjustment, labor quotas and wages payment methods.　　At present, we should focus on the consultation of labor quota and the standard of working hour, and gradually establish and perfect the consultation and decision mechanism of labor quota standard. "This opinion further clarified the standard of labor quota formulation, namely ' in the legal working time, under the normal labor condition, 90% above worker can complete". This can prevent enterprises from arbitrarily raising labor quota standards, more conducive to protect the general StaffRights。　　"Zhang Yixi said. For the disputes arising from the negotiations between the representatives of the two sides, the trade union shall submit the application for coordination with the Labor administrative department within the jurisdiction. Where a dispute arises in the performance of a collective wage contract and the parties cannot negotiate a settlement, the trade union shall report to the superior Union and apply to the local labor dispute mediation organization or the labor dispute arbitration body for mediation until the court is sued.　　During the dispute, it is incumbent on the trade unions to steer workers away from excessive action. However, some people still have doubts about the wage negotiations.　　Some trade union insiders believe that in the private sector, the business and financial situation is regarded as a core secret, trade unions and workers difficult to grasp the precise business data, so it is difficult to scientifically raise the specific extent of wage increases. Some private companies are also concerned about being "tied" by collective wage agreements.　　If the external environment is poor or the business is not good, can not meet the wage commitments by the workers sued, or in the enterprise difficulties, and staff representatives can not reach a pay reduction agreement. "Wages are the core economic interests of workers, the implementation of collective wage bargaining, is based on the practice of developed market economy countries, do not engage in a unified model, as long as the benefit of the labor relations between the two sides of the equal consultation, conducive to the sharing of economic and social development results, to promote enterprise development, "Zhang Yixi said.
