KFC offers worker pay rise

沈陽肯德基員工獲加薪

US fast-food giant KFC agreed to raise wages in Shenyang as demanded by a local trade union, Xinhua reported. The company had been under pressure for a pay rise from the Shenyang Municipal Trade Union for months. The company Thursday signed its first collective labor contract on the Chinese mainland, covering 2000 employees in Shenyang. According to the contract, the company will set a minimum wage of RMB900 per month instead of the previous RMB700. It also promises an annual pay raise of 5%.

據新華社報道，在沈陽市總工會敦促下，沈陽肯德基行政方17日與工會簽訂集體合同，并同意為員工加薪。這是美國快餐業巨頭肯德基在內地簽訂的首個集體合同，至此糾纏數月的沈陽肯德基勞資之爭畫上了圓滿的句號。合同中規定，沈陽肯德基連鎖餐廳2000多名職工的最低工資將由每月700元提高到900元，工資年漲幅也將達到5%。
