Laborers want more than just higher wages

MANY EXPRESS DELIVERY companies have raised the wages for employees in a bid to recruit more workers to cope with the huge number of deliveries resulting from the Nov 11 online shopping sales. Hbnews.cn comments:

Facing a shortage of workers, most of the express delivery companies have raised the pay they offer to try and attract recruits. Yet this strategy has failed.

The express delivery companies have misunderstood the demands of their workers. Actually, express deliverymen and women earn quite a high wage compared with other physical laborers. Surveys show that they are unhappy with their job because of the "lack of recognition" and "bad job prospects".
