China’s trade union calls for minimum wage boost – Xinhua

From Xinhuanet (link)

The All China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) has called on provincial governments to raise their legal minimum wage amid concerns the real value of the minimum wage is slipping.

A statement from the ACFTU said some governments had yet to set per-hour minimum wage standards, some had failed to include unemployment insurance, workers’ injury insurance, medical insurance and public housing funds when setting minimum wage standards.

Employers in some areas are by-passing local minimum wage standards by implementing a piecework wage system.
