National Day holiday, the abolition of dispute: experts say the long security grass-roots workers

"Eleven" holiday is over, but the long topic boundless. Because of this year's National Day is connected with the Mid-Autumn formed the "longest Golden Week", coupled with the implementation of expressway toll free 7 the following passenger car, the status of the people zaduier travel during the long holiday even more than in previous years.

After the data release, all departments, display, "eleven" holiday from the number of trips to theTravelingIncome reached record high in recent years. However, because the number of travel spurt caused the highway traffic congestion, tourist attractions overcrowding situation is the most serious.

On vacation or stay controversy recrudesce. Some experts suggest that extended vacation days, even the recovery had been cancelled "five one" long; while others think setting overall holiday said to do more harm than good, recommend to the paid vacation system gradually replace the existing "eleven" long.

Ordinary people are unable to agree on which is right attitude on holiday. "The holiday is good, but the road congestion desperate, scenic area is full of people, tourism quality is not high, also as the holiday set dispersion, avoid zaduier travel." "Eleven" during the period fromAnhuiHefeiSelf-drivingCar to theNanjingMr. Kim said. While tourism enthusiasts,BeijingMr. Wang said, "if the restoration of 'five one' long may ease the transportation, accommodation, scenic area reception status."

��Long protect the grass-roots workers leave entitlements

"Although many 'eleven'Self-driving tourOwners are stuck in traffic, causing inconvenience to travel, but the most important thing is that one family can be togetherTraveling." During Mr. Lee long working in a private company in Beijing with his family to driveShandongQingdao. He thinks, Chinese families are only in the "eleven", the Spring Festival this holiday will have the opportunity to gather together, "not because of the traffic jam and give up the opportunity to play the family."

The national jiariban latest data display, September 30th to October 7th mid-autumn, during the National Day holiday, the national into 119 straight scenic spots monitored a total of 34245600 tourists trips,Domestic travelPassenger volume record high.

"This year's' eleven 'holiday a day, to provide sufficient time for the travel consumer, and the policy of free on the freeway, make this year's tourism industry more prosperous." Zou Tongqian, Dean of the school of tourism management of Beijing International Studies University told the China Youth Daily reporter. "This year, some tourists spots number more than in previous years, although some scenic spot ticket price but the overall income is more than in previous years." Beijing scenic spot staff said.

"Holiday has positive impact on the tourism industry," Zou Tongqian told the reporters, holiday can drive the tourism economy, especially in the current economic downward pressure increasing, long established from the economic level is stimulating domestic demand, stimulate consumption function. "People travel a lot of impulsive consumption, in the long stimulation, impulsive consumption is more obvious."

On paid leave to replace the "eleven" holiday ", Zou Tongqian thinks," the implementation of paid leave how much difficulty? The cost of law enforcement and how high? At present, no one can say clearly, government has not thoroughly studied. Prior to this, can only maintain the status quo".

Research Fellow of the tourism research center of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Liu Simin had to the media said, now the most important task is to release flood waters "". "Five one" holiday after the cancellation, "release flood waters" cut less. Proposes to restore the "five one" golden week, or set a new holiday in May, to meet the people's desire to travel.

In response, Zou Tongqian said, "five one" is more suitable for tourism, the abolition of the "five one" golden week from tourism angle I hold a negative attitude. But from the operability, want to restore the "five one" golden week is unlikely. Because the policy can not play fast and loose, but if the recovery "five one" long words, will certainly to the decompression effect on "eleven" long play.

In the proposed to abolish the long view, a lot of reasons from driving across multiple cause traffic jams, scenic area service reception capacity is insufficient, the poor quality of tourism. But in Zou Tongqian's opinion, the establishment of economic holiday except outside, but also protect the vulnerable groups the right to leave the. "The implementation of paid vacation is not entirely based on National Day holiday, can meet the needs of the tourism market, more important is to satisfy the low-level workers off right, because they had to go home to visit relatives demand. From this point of view, the holiday also set up to care for social vulnerable groups, the holiday is reasonable."

China Youth Daily reporter visited the Beijing some construction sites, ask some migrant workers in view of the "eleven" holiday. Many migrant workers said, did not leave because of tourism, economic strength is not up to. I have no time to go home, use holiday site off work, most of them take the time to go home to have a look.

AGansuChinese migrant workers told reporters, "my wife and I are working in Beijing, leave the kids at home, only to see the children in have the Spring Festival time, each time I call could not help but want to cry. I 'eleven' not going anywhere, to go home to accompany the child."

"A lot of the rights of migrant workers, not in the state-owned enterprises, institutions, office workers, they only when the people of the whole country holiday to rest, so long established significance also lies in the protection of vulnerable workers leave entitlements." Zou Tongqian said.

����Paid vacation can replace "eleven" long

In view of the current situation of "number eleven" long holiday travel too much causing traffic congestion, overcrowding in the scenic area of research in economics, Tsinghua University College of Humanities and social science, Tsinghua University, deputy director of the Institute of holiday reform group leader Cai Jiming said, "the long established in general more harm than good." In his view, the disadvantages of the golden week is born.

"People to meet different needs through the holidays, such as long-distance travel, visiting relatives, marriage,ShoppingBuy a house, the decoration, the time is longer, the people need the relative concentration of the vacation time to complete, this kind of situation is reasonable. But everyone needs for long, if satisfied by the centralized holiday system, it will turn into a disaster. The reason is that the vast majority of members of society, at the same time travel, will bring traffic congestion, overcrowded, hotel service quality decline, complaints increasing problems. The Golden Week travel more than 4 people, any society, countries are unable to meet the people 'blowout trip'. For exampleThe Imperial PalaceThese tourist attractions, its space is limited, can not meet the demand by many people to build a the Imperial Palace, this contradiction is caused by the concentration of travel can not be avoided." Cai Jiming said.

So, what is the method to solve this contradiction? Cai Jiming believes that the only effective and reasonable way is to implement a "paid vacation".

Understand according to the reporter, since January 1, 2008 the implementation of "Regulations on paid annual leave for employees", the implementation of paid vacation is not optimistic about the situation. The world famous consulting company Mercer Human Resource (Mercer) December 13, 2011 published "global employees should enjoy a holiday" report shows, in a survey of 62 countries, Chinese workers have paid vacation days ranked in the bottom fourth. Investigation of domestic a lot about paid vacation also shows, not enjoy paid vacation accounted for the vast majority of people.

"The leave with pay basic cannot be achieved in the hospital, not because the hospital administrative departments do not agree. On the contrary, the hospital is encouraging employees to leave. But because of the special nature of the work of the hospital, the doctors and nurses basic cannot leave with pay." A department of Gastroenterology Hospital doctors told reporters in Beijing.

"The taxi industry has not paid vacation, only the elastic working day said, even may at any time to rest, but the monthly to the taxi management companies' money 'is a cannot little, so drivers rarely choose to rest." Beijing a Liu said the taxi driver.

For the implementation of paid vacation not ideal situation, Cai Jiming think, "paid leave is not fully implemented, but from scratch, there are still quite a few people enjoy. In general, the holiday reform is successful. But not completely, leaving a 'eleven' golden week. Keep 'eleven' golden week is eclectic approach the government considered paid leave can not be fully implemented by."

For the restoration of "five one" long, Cai Jiming thinks, this is a backward step. The first task force recommends that the abolition of the "five one" and "eleven" two long, to implement the paid vacation, but the government is considering the implementation of the paid vacation not all adopt group proposal, only the abolition of the "five one" long. But the holiday is the direction of reform, during the long holiday in the premise of the implementation of paid vacation next, if only to see the current status is calling for the restoration of "five one" long, is not conducive to the promotion of the implementation of paid vacation, is coming back. "During the long holiday is also pursuing a Daobi mechanism of paid vacation." Cai Jiming said.

And there is another concern for paid vacation a lot of ordinary workers. "The leave with pay the convenience of the people travel, can avoid the same time travel congestion, but the problem is, the Chinese people very strong family values, family members can also enjoy paid vacation go out together? Paid leave out many problems, not to say who want to rest to rest, so long also should be retained, can provide holiday a fixed period of time, easy to arrange in advance." A work in an institution of Beijing Mr Cheung told reporters.

����Labor relation is not equivalence paid vacation is difficult to implement

Why the paid vacation system is difficult to implement?

"Is mainly decided by the characteristics of labor relations." China Institute of Industrial Relations law department director Jiang Ying told China Youth Daily reporter. "Labour relations between the two sides. It causes the power workers paid leave can not get enough protection. From the environment perspective, our country is in the early stages of economic development, development is the main goal, enterprises are facing greater pressure to survive in the competition." Jiang Ying said, although China's economy in recent years has made considerable progress, but the economy is currently in a downward phase. Workers' rights can be timely protection, labor laws and regulations can be implemented, but also affected by the economic environment.

In her view, characteristics of labor relations determine capital strength is stronger than the labor, therefore, the management control over the problems on the implementation of the rights of workers. Implement paid vacation, enterprises have to pay the enthusiasm is not high economic costs. Taking into account the occupation development, labor compensation and other factors, often not dare to propose enterprise paid vacation, and firms are not offered, silence to paid holidays are not guaranteed the right to.

According to the provisions of the "Regulations on paid annual leave for employees", in addition to statutory holidays, "a total staff of over 1 years but less than 10 years, annual leave 5 days; already full 10 year and less than 20 years, annual leave 10 days; already full 20 years, 15 days of annual leave".

In reality, many employers are not in accordance with the provisions of protection of workers rights. In the publishing industry a state-owned enterprises to work for more than two years of Mr. Zhang told reporters, his own unit paid leave policies better, can enjoy 5 days of paid vacation every year. But so he did that, the unit to implement paid vacation time is mandatory fixed -- and the Spring Festival together, namely the Spring Festival 7 days plus 5 days before the Spring Festival, a total of 12 days off.

Jiang Ying thinks, paid leave can not be completely by the working party decided to vacation period and duration, which require the employing units and workers mutual consultation. Units should be organized labor, needs to have the production work, the employer should according to the working conditions of workers holiday periods and time arrangement, coordination.

"My wife and I have paid off, but we still choose to travel in the 'eleven' long, because two people time to gather together, children can follow us travel together. The relevant departments can provide the necessary information to grooming, scenic area should also be a good management in tourists increased holidays and improve service capacity, rather than simply cancel the holiday, the problems in the public get together on a journey." Beijing citizens Mr. Wang said.
