Visiting the automobile factory, Lin Cheng's heart was a little heavy, and he finally understood why Lin Fuyuan and Zhang Yuanxin were diligently seeking to improve the living conditions of Korean employees.

Compared with the exquisite and skilled skills of the Korean employees, it is like a first-class worker under the eight-level labor system, and can only be regarded as an apprentice.

As for the Korean staff, the technical level is generally between the fourth and fifth levels, and a few technical masters have even reached the seventh level, which is only one line away from the legendary eighth-level workers.

Suddenly thinking of the eight-level work level, Lin Cheng suddenly had an idea in his heart, can the factories under the Lin Group implement the eight-level wage system to improve the technical level of employees?

Today's young people may be very unfamiliar with the eighth-level worker, but for people born in the fifties and sixties, the eighth-level worker has always been a desirable star, which can be called a god-like existence.

In 1956, when industrial construction was the basic task, the country divided the technical level of workers into eight levels according to the industry in order to eliminate the drawbacks of the division of work system.

As a result, "eighth-level worker" has become synonymous with the top craftsmen with exquisite skills and meticulous workmanship.

There was a memoir of the eighth-level master who mentioned a famous eighth-level master, "There is a unique skill, tens of thousands of spare parts in the whole factory, the master does not look at the drawings, does not look at the account book, can casually say the installation location, specification size, processing requirements, inventory quantity, inventory location, manufacturer, etc. ”

At that time, there was even a sentence after the break: "The eighth-level worker worships the master - keep improving".

The classification of the eighth-level workers is as follows: first-level workers, second-level workers, and third-level workers are apprentices and idle workers respectively, and cannot complete the cooked work independently; fourth, fifth, and sixth level workers complete the whole set of cooked work independently, and these three levels are already very good technicians; seventh-level workers must have certain leadership skills, be skilled in technology, and understand mathematics.

As for the eighth-level god, he is not only a star in the minds of young people, but even has a supreme position of authority.

Some factories introduce the most advanced machines, only some eighth-level workers have the right to operate, ordinary apprentices and workers are difficult to touch, even the factory director wants to touch must first obtain the approval of the eighth-level workers, as for the wage level, the eighth-level workers are even more above the factory director.

However, after the devastation of the "buzzing" movement, the eight-level labor system has also existed in name only, the level of workers has not been promoted for a long time, the wages of workers have not been adjusted, and their enthusiasm has not been stimulated, and workers' production mainly depends on ideological consciousness.

Therefore, after entering the 80s, the idea of doing and not doing the same thing, and doing good and bad work, was formed among a considerable number of workers, and egalitarianism and big pot rice prevailed.

Due to the long-term non-grading, there are too many debts owed to the workers, so in the subsequent grading, the salary is mainly based on the number of years of service, and the salary is promoted according to the year and seniority, which is a very bad start.

By the nineties, the eight-level system had become a distant legend.

The workers, who were once praised as the masters of the country in the fifties and sixties, added a prefix of "peasant" to the word "worker", and the workers suddenly became the objects of social contempt, and the workers were completely reduced to the bottom of society.

However, in the labor market, if a technician can come up with a worker grade certificate of level 4 or above, this kind of technician is still a hot spot for various factories to compete for, and even many factory directors still have very strong confidence in these senior technicians, believing that as long as these workers are given a set of tools, there is no equipment failure that cannot be solved.

Lin Cheng, as a person born in the 80s, under the influence of his father and second uncle, still has a very good impression of the eighth-level worker, so that when the primary school class teacher asked the students what they wanted to be when they grew up, most of the students answered popular occupations such as scientists, People's Liberation Army, police, and teachers, but Lin Cheng shouted with pride and pride "I want to be an eighth-level worker!"

……

After returning to the headquarters of Huacheng Lin Group, Lin Cheng immediately summoned a group of old antiques and old factory directors to turn over documents and materials, and actively study the eight-level wage system issued by the Ministry of Labor in 1956.

According to the system at that time, the Ministry of Labor conducted a rigorous analysis of tens of thousands of types of work across the country, objectively and fairly divided the eight-level wage system, and put forward clear requirements for the division of workers' technical ability and ability.

Of course, it is now the 90s, factory equipment and science and technology have undergone earth-shaking changes, and if the eight-level wage system of 1956 is completely copied, it is undoubtedly an unscientific brain-dead behavior.

Fortunately, there was an eight-level wage system in 1956 for reference, and the new eight-level wage system and implementation measures of the Lin Group were completed very smoothly.

On the eve of International Labor Day on May 1, after in-depth research and modification by a group of experts, factory directors and technical engineers, the eight-level work system launched by Lin's Group with the times was finally completed.

At the high-level meeting of the group on April 30, Lin Cheng issued the new eight-level work system to the senior management to browse, which aroused great interest from everyone.

Mao Debiao, as a person born in the fifties, is naturally very supportive of the eight-level worker system, he himself has a four-level worker grade certificate, if the new eight-level worker system is implemented, with his superb technical ability, maybe he can also impact the seventh-level worker, and even the eighth-level god.

Mao Debiao stood up excitedly, and said with foaming at the mouth: "Our Lin family should not have any hesitation to immediately implement this eight-level labor system, which has long been proven by practice and has played an important role in the stratification of workers' technical levels, and has been widely recognized by enterprise workers and the whole society."

The technical standards of the eight-level hierarchical system are clear, clear, assessable and operable, and the social effect is also good, reflecting the difference between simple labor and complex labor, which is more conducive to guiding manufacturing workers to pursue high-level and high-level craftsman skills.

Our group draws on China's past eight-level labor system to establish a hierarchical technician incentive system, and pays different wage standards to different levels of labor department skill appraisal, such as junior workers, intermediate workers, senior workers, technicians, and senior technicians, which greatly expands the wages of different levels of technicians, which can greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of workers to learn technology and improve the technical ability of workers.

I would like to suggest that the eight-level system should be implemented not only within the Group, but also in the affiliated companies of the Lin Group, so that it can be promoted nationwide. This is a huge status improvement for frontline workers, and their work should be respected by the whole society!"

The high-level leaders at the meeting also said that the eight-level worker system will help improve the technical ability of the workers and form a good competition situation among the workers, so they unanimously agreed to the implementation of the eight-level worker system.
