Those Busy Years In The Production Line.

2300 yuan for high-yield women workers

"Can a worker representative help us raise our wages?"

A dress girl seemed surprised to hear it.

Ceng Qingxia, who has been in a down garment and garment processing factory in Danyang Town, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, has been in town for five years. When she thought of the green and vigorous years when she went out to work in the village, she is now a two year old mother.

Although the child is still small, but she can not take care of at home, because farming is not working, making money.

From the initial

Many shopping malls

"When I was in Zhenjiang last year when I was in the lunar new year, I thought I could not buy or see those shopping malls.

As a result, attachment brands are seen.

Its down coats are processed by our factory. I look forward to it. It costs more than 1000 yuan, madam.

I think that the down coats I usually do will be so expensive, they will be careful when they work.

Ceng Qingxia said with a smile.

She said that every year during the new year, every factory worker would send a down jacket to every worker, and she could help the family to buy quality down garments at 88% off. Although these down garments are not fashionable, they are absolutely up to the standard, and the fabric and quality are guaranteed. Ceng Qingxia always goes home with big and small down garments every year. In her opinion, it is a very happy thing to buy such a down garment at such a low price.

But she never thought that if her wages could go up, she might be able to buy more, not just down clothing.

"I went home for the Spring Festival this year. I wanted to spend more days with my children. I asked for ten days' leave. I went back to work in the factory only after the first fifteen months of my family. I came back and got a 1500 yuan bonus." they (factory leaders) said that I had delayed the production of new products during the new year, and did not complete the whole work, so I have buckled my bonus and attendance award. "

When Ceng Qingxia mentioned this incident to our reporter, his face was depressed.

When the reporter asked why she did not find a trade union to protect their rights and interests for their workers, Ceng Qingxia looked blank: "what does the trade union do?

I've never heard of it. "

"Worker representatives help us raise our wages?"

Ceng Qingxia seemed a little surprised.

"But I know there is a foreman. He brings out a dozen or twenty young people from his village to work in the factory. The foreman also represents the person he brings out to talk about the wages with the factory leader. Of course, the more the better, because the foreman can steal more than ten percent of the kickbacks from these workers.

And he brought a worker, the factory will reward 200 yuan, ten is 2000 yuan.

Now many factories are short of workers, so they have this incentive.

Money has gone into the pockets of the foreman, but I have not seen anyone who really speaks for the workers and negotiated wages with the factory.

23 year old girl's "youth meal"

"We have no opportunity to get promoted."

Like Ceng Qingxia, a worker in a garment factory has never heard of a trade union or workers' consultation system. He is one of four.

Four Ni in a family in the suburbs of Shanghai

Four, every month's wages will be paid to the salary card, every month's wages are different, and she has never seen the so-called wage bar.

"My basic salary is 1360 yuan, overtime pay is different every month, plus full attendance award and other bonus, I get a maximum of 2700 yuan a month.

At least, you can get 2000 yuan a month. "

Speaking of her wages, four faces smiled brightly.

Four Nie's salary is higher than a lot of clothing factory workers' income.

But her salary is based on the busy and busy workshops of the hot workshops every day.

Work at 7:30 every morning and work at 22 in the evening. There is only one day off every month. Even lunch is like a "quick march" because they have to rush back to work so that their wages can be higher.

The busy work made four Nie's young body often suffer from pain, but she said it would not hurt if she bit her teeth.

"This kind of work can only be done when young.

While we are young and earn more money, we are also eating "Youth".

Four Ni helpless words make people feel distressed. This 23 year old girl looks much more vicissitudes than her peers. Only when those smiling faces that bloom with youthful smiles appear on her face, can people find that she is still naive "big children".

"What do you think if a worker representative comes out to speak for you and asks the factory to reduce labor and raise wages?"

The reporter asked four Ni, four Ni's eyes were full of doubts: "of course, all right, but will there be such a person?"

When the reporter affirmed to tell four Ni, in many factories in Zhejiang, wages have been increased through wages consultation system, workers and enterprises have also signed contracts, and the interests of workers have been guaranteed. The face of four Ni has shown an expression of envy.

"You've worked in the factory for three years, and you know all kinds of jobs. Why don't you put on the team leader or other positions?

That way your salary can go up. "

When reporters asked the question of "four Ni", four Ni sighed with regret: "we are not able to get promotion opportunities.

1/3 of the workers in the factory are local people in Shanghai. Only they can be promoted. Those leaders or higher level positions are all Shanghai people.

Even if you do well, you will work faster. If you don't have a Shanghai account, you will still have a high salary.

Four Ni's clothing factory, whether it is a small list under 1000, or thousands of large list, will come next.

So working overtime every day until ten at night is a habit for four Nie.

Every day, heavy workload is repeated. The rest days in a year are numbered in order to earn more than 2000 of the monthly salary.

Four Ni said, there are also more complicated jobs in the factory, such as pull over, roll, double, and heel, which can get about 3000 yuan a month. Although the requirements are stricter and the process is more complicated, more money is the greatest hope of the workers.

Four Ni hopes to slowly master those skills and earn more money.

Reasons for "loyalty"

"The workers who have just arrived at the factory are new people. No matter how well you work in the original clothing factories, you can only start with the simplest jobs."

In a garment factory, factory arrears of wages are common.

At the end of June, Ceng Qingxia only got the April salary, and four Ni was also owed two months' salary.

The flow of workers in the garment factory is very large. Ceng Qingxia said that other clothing factories often come to her factory to dig for people, and her factory will also bring people from other garment factories.

People walk every month and there are people coming every month.

It is precisely because of this that the factory began to default on the wages of the workers, and wanted to keep skilled workers in the factory in disguised form. Once the workers resigned, the arrears of two months' wages would be deducted by the manufacturer for various reasons, and the two months' salary would have been three thousand or four thousand, but many workers could only get hundreds of dollars later.

Not only that, but many workers jump from a garment factory to another garment factory to find that wages are not as high as they originally expected.

"Because the workers who have just arrived at the factory are new people, no matter how well you work in the original clothing factories, but you enter the new factory or new people.

Newcomers can only start with the simplest jobs, and at most one thousand yuan a month.

This is why many workers such as Ceng Qingxia and four Ni stayed in their factories for four or five years. Even if there were no holidays or arrears of wages in the factory, they still remained the biggest reason for "loyalty" to stay in the original place.

"Many of my sisters work in other small clothing factories, and some of them are less paid than I am.

Now that garlic is rising, why do we not pay?

If it's really like you say, someone can stand up and raise wages for us, and do not drag our money, such a person is our benefactor.

Ceng Qingxia said with a helpless face to reporters.

When we heard the newspaper reporter introduced the collective wage consultation system, it contained "industry labor quota standard, piecework price standard, time wage standard, wage distribution system in the industry, wage standard and distribution form, wage payment time and payment method, overtime pay and statutory leave day and other national holidays stipulated by the state and wages for participation in social activities, the treatment of employees' welfare, the period of the collective wage agreement, the procedures for changing and lifting the industry, the terminating condition of the collective wage agreement and the responsibility for breach of contract" and so on. Ceng Qingxia and four Nie's eyes were full of yearning.

Before that, they had always thought that it was normal for factories to let them work overtime every night. They also thought it was common for them to only take one day off a month or to work overtime on statutory holidays. They would not even think about using the laws or national system to protect their rights when they withhold wages and pay wages in various factories.

But after listening to the collective bargaining system, they, like countless workers, are fascinated by such a system that can protect workers' rights and interests.
