Original title: Ele.me's second collective contract signed (lead)
More than 5 million "Blue Knights" care and protection upgraded again (theme)
China Workers' Daily-China Workers' Daily reporter Pei Longxiang: Recently, the second collective contract for the entire Ele.me network was signed at the Ele.me headquarters in Putuo, Shanghai. The collective contract continues to maintain the "1+3" pattern of collective contracts covering the entire network and special items on wages, protection of female workers' rights and interests, and labor safety and health. It covers 27 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in seven major regions across the country, covering 11,000 delivery sites across the "Ele.me" platform, benefiting more than 5 million "blue riders", and covering labor remuneration, welfare protection, labor protection, protection of female deliverymen's rights and interests, vocational training, organizational construction, democratic participation and spiritual and cultural needs. This contract further responds to concerns in terms of equal employment, academic advancement, and skill advancement, and strengthens exploration, quality improvement and efficiency improvement in work practice.
Before the second session of the first session of the second staff representative conference (expanded) across the network, Ele.me evaluated the implementation and effectiveness of the "1+3" collective contract issued by the first session of the staff representative conference by distributing online questionnaires, and the satisfaction rate reached 98.2%. Xiao Shuixian, secretary of the Party Committee and chairman of the trade union of Ele.me, said that the platform has fully understood the demands of riders by creating a variety of communication mechanisms, and directly communicated with riders in the form of "Blue Rider Roundtable". The platform listened to the opinions and suggestions put forward by the riders, actively integrated resources with relevant units, and effectively solved many problems reflected by the riders. It is understood that since 2023, Ele.me has held more than 300 "Blue Rider Roundtables" and directly communicated with more than 4,000 riders.
Taking the opportunity of the network-wide staff representative conference and the signing of collective contracts, the Ele.me Union further consolidated and upgraded the protection of riders' rights and interests through collective agreements. "Local governments have carried out collective consultations on the basis of the Ele.me network-wide collective contract and signed supplementary agreements with city characteristics." Xiao Shuixian told reporters, "Shaanxi Xi'an signed a supplementary agreement on the basis of the network-wide collective contract. The Xi'an Riders' Union established a 'Rider Star' evaluation system to promote active membership. The Hubei collective contract incorporates the Ele.me "Love New Meals" project into the contract, and through the 'union + platform + merchant' special integrated subsidies and digital technology, promotes a special area for affordable meals for union members (delivery drivers), enhancing the sense of gain of delivery drivers."
The reporter also learned that Ele.me has currently established 3,000 one-square-meter labor union stations across the country to help "blue riders" solve key small things such as drinking water, resting, charging and replacing batteries. At the same time, 35 benchmark party and labor service stations have been established in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and other places. In 2023, Ele.me launched the "100 Cities, 1 Million Stations" plan. Currently, 100,000 rider stations have been lit up across the country through AutoNavi Maps, allowing warmth to reach every rider struggling on the road.
