In the morning, the staff of the company went to work normally.

At noon, the boss and his wife also had normal meals in the company dining hall.

At noon, the responsible person committed suicide.

According to a worker who has worked in the factory for two years, there are fewer jobs in the factory this year. Last year, we had to work overtime every day, but this year we basically have to take a few days off for a few days, and wages are also in arrears.

Workers, Mr. Wang said, there are only a dozen workers in the factory, and the rest are all on the job. The basic wage is 1600 yuan per month, overtime will be increased by a little. This year, basically, every month is the basic wage. Since October, wages have been in arrears since December 1st. Dozens of workers in the factory went on strike to protest against the boss's arrears of wages, and even to the labor service station once.

Under pressure, Liao served the employees' wages in October.

The laoxia community is the largest shoe material center in Houjie town of Dongguan. It has many small businesses, mainly selling leather, finished shoes and processed shoes. At present, business difficulty has become a common problem here.

When interviewed by laoxia community, reporters saw that in previous years, one month before Christmas, all of them were working overtime, and cars were coming to the car. Now, about 1/3 of the shops have been closed.

A boss said, "at this time of the year, there was not enough manpower. This year, the workers went home early to celebrate the new year.

Not all of them are closed down. If there is no order, they can only be closed first.

And the situation will come back well next year. "

In the local wholesale market of Hongyun shoe materials, leather wholesalers told financial news reporters that "in the past year, they can earn twenty thousand or thirty thousand a month. Since June this year, we can only guarantee that we will not lose money."

In April this year, the market of the shoe material, which was just set up, is very small.

A shoe wholesaler said, "the rent here is decreasing, the market has hit us thirty percent off, and now a facade is only 2000 yuan a month."
