February 16, China's soccer industry, a hammer, 35-year-old veteran Artemisia Junmin in social media openly and the Chinese Super League Wuhan club salary disputes. Behind the angry outburst of the "three brothers" is the helplessness and patience of the long-term salary arrears. In fact, this is only a microcosm of the general problem of salary arrears that has plagued the domestic soccer circle in recent years. It is revealed that only the CFA Arbitration Committee accepted more than a hundred cases of salary arrears.
At noon on the day Artemis publicly demanded his salary, he was in closed isolation training with the national team in Suzhou. As we all know, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) has a very strict management of the national team members, forbidding them to express their opinions during training and matches. This move by "San" has undoubtedly touched the red line of the national team's management.
It is not difficult to see, artemisia in the issue of wage determination, he used "have to fool me, forcing me to ......" to describe his mood.
In the industry's view, the problem of unpaid wages in recent years, and Artemisia, as one of the captains of the national team, during the time with the team to openly ask for wages, its influence is far more than other players. In view of the "three brothers" pay claim just before the start of the 2022 season at all levels of the league, the league rules and regulations will soon be introduced, which undoubtedly in the soccer world inside and outside caused widespread concern.
When it comes to salary arrears, many people will associate it with the current "salary limit" policy in the domestic soccer circle. Although views on wage restraint vary, the logical relationship between wage restraint and wage arrears should not be overlooked. The relevant parties have repeatedly pushed for a salary limit, mainly because of the mismatch between the salary level of league practitioners and the level of development of domestic soccer, and the excessive salary inputs have brought great pressure to investors.
For clubs that have not left the soccer scene, most of them are struggling to survive under operational pressure. When making ends meet becomes the norm and the parent company is unable to afford the high salary inputs, the phenomenon of salary arrears ensues. Even if some clubs have reached a consensus on salary reductions with practitioners, they are unable to pay due to limited reductions and other reasons.
For the workers of the clubs who are owed wages, their aim is not to have the defaulting clubs sanctioned, but to fight for their labor income through legal means. As long as the club has the ability to repay, the players and coaches can get what they want. If the club goes bankrupt because it is deregistered due to unpaid wages, then all parties will be in a multi-loss situation.
In view of the serious consequences of wage arrears, the CFA has been extra cautious in reviewing the qualifications of clubs. In dealing with the issue of unpaid wages, CFA has always urged clubs to effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of players, coaches and club staff.
The problem of salary arrears is not a one-day cold. Considering that clubs generally face the problem of salary arrears and are subject to the double impact of the epidemic and the financial pressure of the parent company's main business, the CFA, while restraining the behavior of clubs' salary payment, has also considered discretionary handling of specific issues in accordance with the actual situation.
Up to now, the CFA has not yet introduced the rules for access to the new professional league season. From the current situation, the CFA in dealing with the issue of unpaid wages, is unlikely to take a "one-size-fits-all" approach, but according to the actual situation to give clubs to repay unpaid wages a certain buffer period, but the buffer period will not be unlimited continuation of the longest possible continuation of the current season before the end of the professional league season. At present, the relevant departments of the CFA is studying the relevant matters.
