Recently, my friend Xiao Wang, the merchandiser, complained during a chat that he was still in the dyeing factory after 10 o’clock at night I prepared the bucket myself, my clothes were soaked and I almost caught a cold from the cold. The salesperson was even worse, working overtime until midnight12 o’clock.
Dyeing factories are busy at the end of the year and there is a shortage of workers
In fact, this kind of situation occurs at the end of every year, because the end of the year is the time when factories are most short of workers. Many dyeing factories will have serious worker shortages in certain links, especially in unwinding, dehydration, opening and other steps. Basically, Many online salespeople and customers do it themselves. This year is no exception. It’s already mid-to-late January, and there’s only less than half a month left before New Year’s Eve. As a textile worker who works all year round, the Spring Festival holiday will be relatively long, especially since many factory workers are from other places and need to return to their hometowns for the New Year, so the holiday will take longer. Therefore, every year before the Spring Festival holiday, there will be situations where the factory is short of manpower and needs to recruit temporary workers or merchandisers and salesmen in person.
Currently, many printing and dyeing factories have shut down for the holidays, but some printing and dyeing factories are still in production. However, since steam will also stop on the 20th, dyeing will also end on the 20th. Therefore, traders are still busy rushing production in the last day or two, especially for some export orders, and they must try their best to produce as much as possible.
The market conditions this year are a bit special, with a large number of orders arriving at the end of the year, especially a significant increase in foreign trade orders. As we all know, the entire production process involved in foreign trade orders from gray cloth to ready-made garments is relatively long, which is mainly affected by the intermediate transportation time. Therefore, foreign trade orders pay more attention to the delivery date. Then, a large number of foreign trade orders flood into the market at the end of the year, causing printing and dyeing factories to burst into warehouses and extend delivery times. In addition, some dyeing factories will take holidays in advance, which ultimately makes production time very tight. Therefore, it is not easy for many traders to struggle until the last moment when their factories are shut down.
Many dyeing factories become very busy at the end of December. It takes 5-6 days to wait in line to press the card. Even the finalized model is basically not available. If you want to order it, you can only go to the workshop director to have it polished. They say the order needs to be shipped urgently, otherwise we will have to wait in line day by day. In addition, dyeing factories are so busy not only because of the improvement in order volume, but also due to the lack of workers in dyeing factories.
300 yuan/day, urgent need of temporary workers
At the end of the year, due to the epidemic, various regions are advising workers to celebrate the Spring Festival locally, and some regions have introduced many incentive policies, such as triple wages, holiday subsidies, etc., in order to reduce the flow of people and reduce the difficulty of epidemic prevention and control. But for some workers who are eager to return home, the temptation of money is far less than that of their hometown. Many workers are even worried that the epidemic prevention situation will become more severe in the future and they will not be able to travel back to their hometowns, so they leave the factory and return to their hometowns early.
This is why by the end of the year, there will be many recruitment information for temporary workers in the market. According to the recruitment information, the salary of temporary workers is 300 yuan/day, which is very high, and is settled on a daily basis. But even so, it is difficult to find such workers, mainly because workers who take early leave also return to their hometowns early for the New Year, and few workers will stay and continue working for just a few days of high wages.
Dyeing factory production at the end of the year and the beginning of the year is a torment for both dyeing factories and customers. Dyeing factories have to face the double blow of staff loss and customer reminders; customers have to face possible delivery delays for orders. and quality problems that may occur during rush hours. But no matter what, receiving a large number of orders at the end of the year is a good start and greatly enhances confidence in 2022!
