Measures announced for city鈥檚 labor force
Print Edition
WITH factories finding it harder to retain workers because of low salaries and dim career opportunities, the city government is working to turn things around.
Highly skilled workers in the manufacturing sector will now be promoted as engineers following the announcement of new measures by the government yesterday.
Currently, workers and engineers in a factory have the same career path. Despite different skill levels, there wasn’t much difference in salaries, which was a “significant cause of frustration among workers,” the Shanghai Labor Union said in a report released yesterday.
The report said the salary of a top-level worker was not much higher than a mid-level engineer in the same company.
Li Bin, a 53-year-old engineer at Shanghai Electric Hydraulics and Pneumatics Co who has won top science and technology awards, said he expects the new measures to foster growth of accomplished workers.
“Workers today are much more sensitive about salaries than in the old days. And not just that, they are also looking for some dignity and career prospects,” he said.
Li, who started out as a worker, was among the very few to be promoted as an engineer. While engineers have university diplomas, workers usually start out without higher education. “Workers need incentives to develop their skills,” he said.
Shanghai Human Resources and Social Security Bureau said it will also publish a salary benchmark for skilled workforce in the city.
