The Construction Industry Federation announced the salary adjustment for the construction industry in the new year, with an average increase of 5.4%, and decided that 12 of them will increase their salary by 3% to 12.5% from the 1st of next month. The daily wages of “smallpox interval” increased by 150 yuan to 1,400 yuan, but it is still the lowest-paid type of work. The union hopes that the salary increase will attract young people to enter the industry, and urge the authorities to review the problem of mismatches during construction, improve the occupational safety environment and increase skills training. Faced with manpower shortages, the trade union stressed the need to ensure the employment of local workers and opposed the importation of foreign workers.

The highest increase was “Ni Shui”, where the daily salary increased from the current 1,600 yuan to 1,800 yuan, an increase of 12.5%; the “smallpox interval” salary increased by 12%, that is, an increase of 150 yuan to 1,400 yuan, but it was still the lowest daily salary. Although the wages of “concrete (concrete)” and “rolled iron” are frozen, the daily wages are still as high as 2,600 yuan. “Aluminum workers” are newly included in the union’s salary adjustment assessment, with a daily salary of 1,500 yuan.
The trade union also interviewed 1,470 members from August to September. 78.9% of the respondents disapproved of importing foreign workers in the construction industry, 59.9% of the respondents believed that the current on-the-job training was insufficient, and 83% of the respondents were in favor of the government’s orderly rollout of projects and Set up a “construction period” to reduce industrial accidents.
Huang Ping, chairman of the Construction Industry Federation, said that the overall unemployment rate in the construction industry was 10.8%, and the underemployment rate was 11.6%, both improved over the same period last year. Many young people come to join.
Hope to improve construction period mismatch
However, he pointed out that there is a problem of mismatches in the construction period in the industry. “You swarm, and when the project comes, you will die from hunger and starvation, so that some of our workers have work, and some have no work.” He is even more worried regarding the rush order. Workers are more nervous, resulting in an unreasonable construction period, resulting in worker fatigue and even industrial accidents.
At the same time, the trade union is concerned regarding the worsening unpaid wages and food delays, the poor safety and hygiene environment of construction sites, and the increasingly serious problem of lack of connection in the industry. They urged the government to help improve the occupational safety environment, provide training subsidies and carry out training for different types of work, while avoiding the large-scale import of foreign workers to ensure the employment of local workers.
