Monthly salary of 10,000 yuan or more will be affected, ranging from 8 to 12%. Among them, the higher the salary, the more the salary reduction. If the monthly salary exceeds 70,000 yuan, the reduction will reach 12%. In fact, employees have to take 3 days of unpaid leave as early as September.
Deng Jiabiao, deputy director of the Rights Committee of the Federation of Trade Unions, said that the union received nearly a hundred requests for help. It is believed that with the exception of a small number of junior apprentices, almost all employees were affected, involving a thousand people. He also criticized that the high rate of salary cuts has affected many grassroots workers. "A general reduction of 8% means a reduction of several thousand mosquitoes."
