The Spring Festival in 2018 came later than in previous years, but it was not late at all for the weaving factory to have a holiday. An unexpected heavy snowfall disrupted the original holiday rhythm. The heavy snow blocked roads and workers asked for leave. Some small and medium-sized weaving factories had no choice but to take holidays early.
At the end of the year and the beginning of the new year, front-line workers in weaving, printing and dyeing or finishing companies Changes become frequent. The labor difficulty seems to be particularly prominent in 2018. As early as late January, some textile factories posted job recruitment notices in various groups early.
It is difficult to find workers, and even more difficult to recruit skilled workers. The issue of labor has been a common topic in the fabric market in recent years, and it is also a key issue that must be addressed head-on.
The water spraying production capacity has been relocated, and workers have returned to many places
In the past two years, the environmental protection rectification of water-jet looms has caused a large number of water-jet looms to be discontinued and eliminated in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. Some water-jet companies have put into production in northern Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Henan and other places. Nowadays, the transfer of water spray production capacity has begun to bear fruit. Some enterprises in the central and western regions have developed rapidly, providing many jobs for local employees. These people do not need to travel to other provinces and cities remotely, but are employed nearby in their hometowns, and their wages will not be much lower. , the consumption level is low, expenses such as accommodation and accommodation at home are reduced, and parents and children can be taken care of, which has also reduced the labor resources in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to a large extent. In addition, the relocation of water spraying companies in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has also taken away some skilled workers to a certain extent. Anhui Xufeng Weaving set up a factory in Anhui as early as 2011. Manager Cui of Xufeng Weaving told the author that when he first went to Anhui to set up a factory, almost no one was engaged in the weaving industry there. The workers in their factory were all from Shengze Those who were brought there were provided with food and accommodation. In comparison, the treatment was better than in Shengze. In 2017, under the background of environmental protection rectification in the water spray industry, a large number of companies relocated and workers returned. In 2018, employment in weaving companies became increasingly tense.
Workers return home early and resume work late. This makes the labor problem more prominent before and after the Spring Festival
“Today’s workers are different from those 10 years ago.” The person in charge of Shengze No. 1 Coating Factory said, “Before When looking for a job, workers are most concerned about the salary. When today’s workers look for a job, the first thing they ask is whether there is rest time.” Workers’ concepts have changed, so in the past two years, more and more factories have closed during holidays. As the number increases, the factory’s Spring Festival holiday becomes longer and longer. In the past, the Shengze factory would resume work on the eighth day of the lunar month in order to seek good luck. However, workers are now returning to work later and later, and the normal start-up time of the factory is also continuously postponed. Nowadays, the eighth day of the Lunar New Year is the time for workers to report for work, and normal production usually does not start until around the fifteenth day of the first month. Labor is tight. For many textile bosses, labor may be a big problem after the 2018 Spring Festival.
In general, it is becoming more and more difficult to find workers, and the difficulty in recruiting workers has also led to a continued increase in labor costs every year. A boss said frankly that in recent years, the wages of front-line workers have increased by 300 to 500 yuan every year. This year, it is more difficult to recruit workers, and the wage increase may be even greater. Nowadays, raw materials are generally rising, water and electricity bills are rising again, workers’ wages continue to rise, and costs are rising sharply. Textile bosses are under great pressure, but the factory still needs to be maintained after it is opened. Textile bosses are doing well and cherishing it!
