Workers’ Daily-China Industry Network reporter Wu Duosi
"More than 64.67% of the nursing staff work more than 8 hours a day, and more than 11.37% work no days off every month." The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Federation of Trade Unions found during a survey on the protection of labor rights and interests of the nursing staff that nursing staff The work is complicated and trivial, and the working hours are long, resulting in a low sense of career satisfaction and accomplishment among nursing staff.
From early July to early September this year, the Autonomous Region Federation of Trade Unions conducted an "experiential" survey to focus on the outstanding issues in the current situation of the nursing staff from the perspectives of group structure, labor employment, income security, career development, and understanding of the trade union. To solve the problem, the research work is organized and carried out through on-site investigation, case and telephone interviews, questionnaire survey, literature review and other methods. The survey found that nursing generally have low professional level, low income level, relatively weak legal awareness, and no clear concept of labor rights and interests. They even believe that as long as they can receive labor remuneration in full and on time, social security and occupational health Other labor rights and interests are optional.
It is understood that the total number of domestic nursing employees in Xinjiang is nearly 200,000, and they are highly mobile. Most of them are women. It is very difficult to protect their rights and interests. Many caregivers are not included in the management of relevant departments, have not received training, and do not even have health examinations. Vicious competition at lower prices has caused great difficulties in the management of the nursing industry, and has also brought about hidden dangers such as service safety and service disputes.
In recent years, in order to further standardize the employment management system of labor dispatch companies, effectively prevent and promptly investigate and deal with violations of labor security laws and regulations by employers, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of workers, the Autonomous Region Human Resources and Social Security Department has carried out employer-based inspections throughout the region. Special inspections on compliance with labor and social insurance laws and regulations require labor dispatch companies to sign government-mandated employment contracts with nursing workers, specifying contract time, salary, social security and benefits in detail to protect the basic rights and interests of nursing workers. The research team's questionnaire analysis also showed that 76.48% of nursing staff have signed labor contracts, while 23.52% have not signed labor contracts. The
research team believes that to safeguard the labor and economic rights and interests of the nursing staff, we must first give full play to the role of the trade union organization, increase the coverage of the trade union organization, and organize the nursing staff group. Trade union organizations can unite relevant departments and industry associations to guide industry associations to establish a collective negotiation mechanism for industry wages, promote the establishment of nursing industry entry standards for employees with ID cards, employee health certificates, and employment qualification certificates, and formulate clear occupational standards. qualifications Certify the system and professional title evaluation system, increase the vocational skills training for elderly care workers, infant care workers, and medical care workers, standardize the recruitment process, service content, salary standards, leave systems, etc. of nursing workers, and comprehensively promote The sustained and healthy development of the industry.
