The situation in the entire textile market seems to be getting worse recently. The overseas pneumonia epidemic has not only hit textile foreign trade orders, but also the seemingly unaffected domestic trade market has seen orders hard to come by. It seems that “lack of orders” is the main theme of the current textile industry. Without fabric orders from all over the world, all textile factories have rarely entered a state of “New Year’s holiday” this spring.
Production reduction, production suspension, and rotational rest were implemented in many textile-related factories as early as half a month ago, and today the number of large and small factories that have joined in continues to increase. The factory cannot produce normally, and the biggest impact is on the large number of textile workers.
Low-paid leave, seeking short-time workers
Under normal circumstances, factories Workers will not be dismissed easily. On the one hand, it is easy for labor disputes to arise, and on the other hand, it is not conducive to production after resumption of work. Therefore, most factories will provide certain subsidies to workers even if there is a shortage of orders, unsustainable orders, and a need to suspend production and take holidays. The main purpose is to “lock in employees” to prevent a wave of resignations.
Currently, the amount of vacation subsidy varies between regions. The maximum amount may be 60-70 yuan/day, while the minimum amount may be only 20-30 yuan/day. Some factories can only guarantee each Help workers pay social security every month. However, these wages are more or less, but in any case it is difficult to guarantee that workers in other places can live a decent life.
It is very difficult to leave your job and find other jobs in the current textile market, but it is difficult to survive on this income alone. As a result, many textile workers are looking for part-time workers while receiving vacation subsidies.
According to the person in charge of a weaving factory in Nantong area, the current number of workers in their factory is not uniform, and they are still looking for workers from outside. Recently, many workers from other places have come to look for jobs and specified that they are part-time workers. They come from some weaving factories that have stopped production and want to take advantage of this time to find other jobs. However, according to the person in charge of the weaving factory, they would not want this situation. After all, workers can leave at any time, which makes their production progress very uncertain.
It is still very difficult to find part-time workers. On the one hand, the situation in the textile industry is similar, and there is a high probability of production cuts and holidays. On the other hand, even if there is a shortage of people, it is generally difficult to accept part-time workers.
The lack of workers makes production more difficult
Although the current textile market is not ideal in various ways, it is not absolutely no orders, and there are factories A complete discontinuation of production is also rare. In other words, there are still some orders on the market, which are being processed in factories with few workers.
However, due to the limited number of workers, it is difficult to achieve even and reasonable distribution to various links in the factory. As a result, there will be certain links that limit the flow of orders to the next link because the number of workers is too small.
According to the person in charge of a textile trade, their company currently only has more than 20,000 meters of printing orders in production, and more than a dozen people in the company are busy with this order. Although there is currently very little work in the printing and dyeing factory and you can do it right away, there is also a problem with too few workers. If you are in a hurry, there are often no workers to help and you have to do it yourself.
It is especially troublesome when the final printing and dyeing needs to be finalized, because many factories now only have one setting machine. If the craftsmanship of the setting machine does not match your own, you can only wait endlessly. There are usually multiple models to choose from, and there is always one that suits you.
Printing and dyeing companies are currently the most severely affected by the reduction in orders. After all, they cannot weave fabrics and put them away like weaving factories, and then sell them when orders come. As long as the printing and dyeing factories miss this period, they will also miss this wave of orders. Reducing production and taking shifts are just helpless ways to reduce costs, but to some extent they also affect companies currently producing.
At the beginning of the production reduction in textile factories, workers in the factories were the first to be affected, and they could only passively accept low wages, and some were even forced to resign. But as production progresses, the influence of workers begins to appear, and the production process has been affected to a greater or lesser extent.
Especially after the epidemic is over, a large number of orders are placed and factories are busy again. Workers who have been depressed by low wages for several months, or even half a year, may express their emotions about salary increases and resignations, and some companies may face problems of high labor costs and difficulty in recruiting workers. </p
