As the market opens during the Spring Festival, a recruitment “martial arts conference” is underway. Major companies are vying to “rob workers” and show off their special abilities!
Every year after the Spring Festival, the market will usher in the peak recruitment season. The mobility of workers in the textile industry is very high, which is a headache for many factory owners every year after the new year. You will find that recently the factory entrances have been filled with recruitment signs that read “Lathe workers and security workers”. In order to recruit people as quickly as possible, many factories have offered conditions such as “a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan, increased benefits, subsidized travel expenses, and referral rewards” to attract workers.
Major companies are recruiting in different ways, but the worker arrival rate is still low. What is the problem causing the worker shortage?
01 Recruitment is done in various ways, but the worker attendance rate is low! This year’s recruitment has given textile bosses another “headache”!
First of all, from the perspective of the general environment, we originally faced the problem of recruiting workers after the Chinese New Year, because textiles are a relatively densely populated industry. In this case, there will be a situation where demand exceeds supply, resulting in a shortage of workers. , resulting in a shortage of workers and difficulty in recruiting workers. In addition, due to the increasing cost of coastal manufacturing, the loss of textile workers this year is relatively serious. Many workers have chosen to return to their hometowns. In recent years, many textile bosses have moved their weaving factories to Anhui, northern Jiangsu and other places. Workers are the main workers in textile factories. Now there are many textile factories in their own cities. They can find corresponding jobs locally and can stay in their own cities. Who would want to travel all the way to work? This has also led to the shortage of weaving factory workers here.
Secondly, behind the recruitment difficulties, the contradiction between textile factories and workers is intensifying. In recent years, the costs of textile factories have been rising, especially labor costs, which have continued to grow by more than 5-10% every year, which has brought a lot of trouble to enterprises. Great survival pressure. In this regard, the editor interviewed several cloth bosses, but they all lamented: Workers’ wages are increasing year by year, but our profits have not increased. Water, electricity, rent, environmental protection investment, etc. are increasing year by year. This business is getting more and more expensive. It’s hard to do! Bigger companies are fine, but small companies can no longer afford the salary increases year by year!
But the employees who applied for the job said: “Some bosses lure people into the factory with high salaries. In the peak season, they can earn more than 10,000 if they work harder, but in the off-season, they fire people; and many factories are becoming less and less efficient. Well, high wages are rare once a year, and wages are generally around 5,000 yuan. In addition, there are no basic employee protections. Even if you work overtime to the point of vomiting blood, the boss can just ignore it.” The original recruitment of textile workers with a high salary of 10,000 yuan was just a gimmick!
02 Behind the 10,000+ high salary in the textile factory, is it just a gimmick? Frontline textile workers revealed their secrets…
Behind the high salary, there are actually many strict requirements for textile workers, such as: 30 days of full attendance, 12 hours of work a day, night shifts, multiple machines, no holidays, etc. After deducting absences, quality control fines, and social security, you may only receive 5,000 yuan per month. Even if you can really get a high salary of 10,000 yuan, based on working 30 days a month and 12 hours a day, the average hourly wage is less than 30 yuan, which can be described as real “hard-earned money.”
In addition, there are unstable factors in employment in the textile industry – “In the off-season, people will be laid off if they disagree with each other, but when it is busy, they have to recruit people non-stop.” Many companies have off-peak and peak production seasons. When the peak season comes, they work overtime and earn a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan. However, when the off-season comes, there is no guaranteed salary, and they may even be fired at any time.
For employees, on the one hand, the work intensity is high, but on the other hand, the boss does not know how to sympathize with the employees. Not only are the factory’s welfare benefits unsatisfactory, but the boss also likes to suppress wages. Textile workers do not get the respect and benefits they deserve. This is also An important reason for the continuous resignation of textile workers.
In the new year, the difficulty of recruiting workers in textile factories will still be a major problem. The so-called labor shortage is a lose-lose for both enterprises and workers. If you want to recruit satisfactory employees, textile bosses can’t just lure employees with high salaries and then increase their wages for a month or two. For workers, what is important is not only salary, but also basic communication and respect. Finally, the editor wants to say that employees go out to work just to make some money. It is not easy for anyone outside. Only by treating employees as friends, empathizing with and caring for them can the factory run smoothly.
Finally, I wish all workers can find suitable and satisfactory jobs! Even textile bosses can recruit satisfactory employees!
