More than half of the Top 500 companies have no labor union
Half of the world top 500 companies in Beijing have no labor union. Beijing Federation of Trade Union requests that 80% of the non-public companies with trade union have to sign collective contracts.
Some collective contracts are meaningless
Yesterday, according to Huang Wei, vice-president of life security department of Beijing Federation of Trade Union, after Beijing Federation of Trade Union released the first demonstration version of collective contract at the end of last year, there are more than 90% of state-owned, collective and its holding companies and about 75% of non-public companies have signed collective contracts.
“The problem of many contracts is that their contents lack clarity and detail” Huang Wei said. Huang point out that, most of the contracts of foreign companies are more than ten pages long, but those of Beijing companies are only four to five pages. Take wage agreement for example, some companies only stipulate no less than the minimum wage in Beijing without salary growth scheme and adjustments. “It is meaningless” Huang said.
According to the plan, 95% of state-owned, collective and its holding companies that have trade union should sign normative collective contracts; 80% of the non-public companies should sign collective contracts. Non-public companies that have more than 200 employees and sales are more than 5 million should have independent collective contracts.
Eighty percent of top 500 companies should have trade union this year
According to the head of Beijing Federation of Trade Union, the top 500 companies have 624 corporate units in Beijing, of which only 45% have trade union. Beijing Federation of Trade Union has established special working group that will push 80% of these units to establish trade union by the end of this year. Next year, Beijing Federation of Trade Union will push all the top companies in Beijing to establish trade union. |
