Skilled workers discuss benefits reaped from efforts

In the run-up to the May Day holiday, the State Council Information Office on Friday invited a group of China Skills Award winners and representatives of the country's most skilled workers to share their stories about how their abilities have benefited themselves and their motherland.

Workers are the ones who oversee the last step in the development of a new technology, engineering design or the implementation of a plan. If handled properly, there will be quality products and projects; if not, there may be a disaster. Such an irreplaceable role played by us workers is becoming increasingly notable and has won us respect at our company. I am an ordinary worker without an administrative title, but my pay is on a par with the head of our department. I have two workmates who are outstanding experts in our company, and their pay rivals that of the company's deputy general manager.
