Recently, McDonald's and KFC were a little unhappy, because they were caught in the' foreign fast food wage storm' and were chased by the domestic media. Generally speaking, these two foreign fast food giants were suspected of violating the Labor Law and local labor laws and regulations, failing to pay their employees according to the local minimum wage standards, and taking advantage of loopholes in national laws and regulations to refuse to admit that they were illegal.
As far as things are concerned, at present, the wages of all western-style fast food restaurants in China are relatively low, and the wages of almost all part-time employees are lower than the local minimum wages; Among the larger fast-food chain brands, there are many domestic western-style fast-food brands besides foreign capitals such as KFC and Pizza Hut under Yum! Brands, and McDonald's, among which the largest one is Dingxin Dicos, and the wage standard and labor treatment of Dicos are the worst compared with foreign brands. However, this "wage storm" has not affected Dicos, which is due to the word "foreign capital" and nationalist sentiment.
I am a college student, and many of my classmates have had part-time jobs in fast food restaurants. In my city Guiyang, the capital of an underdeveloped western province, the hourly wages of KFC and Dicos in 2116 were 5 yuan and 3 yuan respectively, and judging from my classmates' part-time experience, KFC's reputation as a customer is obviously much better than that of Dicos.
From last year's Foxconn labor case to today's foreign fast food wage storm, the society and the media began to pay more and more attention to the treatment of workers, but the selection of media materials focused more on social emotions and ignored the root of the facts. Today, there are many legislative proposals in China, but there are many problems in implementation. From the situation around me, there are still many phenomena that employers generally violate the Labor Law, but one of them has done a good job.
I hope that the next person involved in the' salary gate' will be Dicos!
