Northwest cotton in Xianyang, Shaanxi

Limited by Share Ltd is one of the largest textile enterprises in Shaanxi. Affected by the downturn in the industry, thousands of textile workers in the company have not been able to earn much money over the years.

Last year, Shaanxi began to pilot the first income distribution reform, taking the textile industry as a breakthrough to raise the income of the workers in low-income industries, so that the treatment of the vast number of textile workers in the northwest cotton textile Limited by Share Ltd increased substantially. At present, the average annual income of the individual has exceeded 20 thousand yuan for the first time.

"Our pilot reform in the textile industry is to explore a path for the national first income distribution reform, and finally to narrow the national income gap and achieve social equity."

As one of the main designers of the first income distribution reform in Shaanxi Province, the director of the China labor society and Gao Yang of the Shaanxi provincial government told reporters.

Internationally, there are usually two ways to reform the first income distribution. One is to raise the income of the low income group, the other is to control the income of the high income group, or "raise the low and control the high" for the short term. Two

Gao Yang told reporters that the idea of Shaanxi's reform is to adopt a "low raise" approach, with the textile industry as a breakthrough to raise the income of workers in low-income sectors.

According to the reporter's investigation,

The provincial government started the pilot reform of the initial income distribution from the textile industry last year. For this reason, the Shaanxi provincial government issued a series of policies and measures last year.

Its specific measures include two aspects.

On the one hand, we should raise funds for increasing the income of workers for enterprises in low income industries.

According to the reform plan of the Shaanxi provincial government, these funds come mainly from three sources. First, the tax department implements the whole industry tax rebate for the state-owned enterprises in the textile industry, and replaces the state tax paid by the enterprises to the local retained land and most of the local taxes. The two is that the government finances to raise funds for the enterprises, and the three is that the enterprises are required to share some of their operating profits to the employees.

After raising funds, the Shaanxi provincial government on the other hand called for all these funds to increase the income of workers.

In the opinions on establishing and improving the post allowance and wages for seniority in state owned and state owned textile industrial enterprises, the Shaanxi provincial government explicitly proposed to ensure that the annual average per capita wage income of the state-owned and state holding textile industrial enterprises reached more than 20 thousand yuan in 2011, and the post allowance and the length of service for workers should be greatly increased.

The Shaanxi provincial government has issued the document expressly to the whole province, so that employees can supervise enterprises and raise their incomes.

Under the impetus of the Shaanxi provincial government,

It has achieved good results in improving the income of workers in low income industries as a breakthrough.

Shaanxi's state-owned and state-controlled textile industrial employees now earn more than 450 yuan a month, compared with the beginning of last year.
