As The Spring Festival Is Approaching, Shoe Manufacturers Are Also Suffering From Labor Shortage.

Near the Spring Festival, Liang Manguang, who has already retired, has begun to prepare for "going north", because many enterprises worry that the employees who come home after the Spring Festival will not come back and cause "labor shortage". So Liang Manguang is entrusted to organize a group of people to go to Jiangxi, Hunan and Sichuan to recruit rural workers, and persuade the local young people to work in Guangdong. This has been going on for three or four years, but this year he has more than one content. First, he should first ask the party about the specific conditions of the labor contract before accepting the enterprise's entrustment. 20 years ago, Liang Manguang was the director of the Department of labor and social security in Guangdong. When it was the most turbulent season for migrant workers to go south, the incident occurred in Hunan railway station where people were forced to buy South tickets. At that time, his mission was to stay at Hunan railway station and mobilize migrant workers not to go south blindly. "Everything has changed." Liang Manguang was filled with emotion. In his mind, it is clear that when the comprehensive conditions set out by enterprises are different from those of migrant workers, the departure of migrant workers is inevitable. Mr. Wang, the boss of Dongguan Xinda clothing company, has been worried recently. The media reports about job hopping at the end of the enterprise are in full swing. At this juncture, two backbone members of the technology department have resigned in two days, which makes him particularly sensitive. Mr. Wang recalled the company's "labor shortage" after the Spring Festival last year, and he was worried that the same situation would be replayed. Before the Spring Festival last year, 80% of the workers of Xinda company returned home for the Spring Festival. The factory officially stipulated that the eighth year of the new year was officially started. After the first month of fifteen, about half of the workers did not return. This directly led to the delay in the production process of Xinda company for more than a month, with losses amounting to several million yuan. With this warning, Wang boss was very concerned about the trend of employees before the Spring Festival. According to Wang boss, many of his business partners also have similar concerns. "After a spring festival, the factory will lose more than 30% workers. It's not the shortage of migrant workers, but the boss's panic. " Wang boss said with self mockery. In the reporter's investigation process, we know that the famous underwear town Xiaolan Town of Zhongshan is setting up a hot recruitment business for underwear enterprises. According to people familiar with the matter, almost 100% of the underwear enterprises are hiring, and all kinds of flags, banners and posters are flying everywhere in the town, and all kinds of preferential conditions are also varied. The number of bicycles to enter the factory, the room for couples to live in, the salary guaranteed, how much the bonus is, the conditions of the factory, such as He Youyue, the prospect of the company and so on. A lingerie enterprise in Shantou is even more powerful. At the same time, there are more than 10 huge recruitment banners in Shantou City, 4 crossroads at gorge hill, 2 Export outlets, 4 outlets at Chen shop and 2 junctions in Puning. The labor market in China has begun to transform from a purely buyer's market to a seller's market. Now, the trend of basically reaching a consensus has begun to emerge in 2002. Since the second half of 2002, employment tensions have been shown in parts of Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces. In 2004, not only in large and medium-sized cities such as Hangzhou and Wenzhou, but also small cities such as Fuyang, Xiangshan and Cixi, enterprises frequently encountered the embarrassment of "recruitment difficulty". After 2005, the shortage of migrant workers began to spread and became a common phenomenon in manufacturing enterprises. According to the Research Report of Zhejiang provincial government policy research office, in 2004, the labor shortage in Zhejiang was about 500 thousand, accounting for 35% of the total labor demand. In 2006, the total gap of work in Guangdong was around 4 million. Among them, the shortage of workers reached the peak before and after the Spring Festival. The problem of labor and capital focuses on the phenomenon that employees do not return to the factory after the new year. It tells the boss of the enterprise that the initiative of migrant workers is no longer in the hands of business owners. Insiders pointed out that the phenomenon of "labor shortage" in the Spring Festival is not only a disaster caused by the folk custom of the Spring Festival, but a result of the concentrated exposure of the potential labor and capital problems of enterprises. 20 years ago, working in Guangzhou could earn five hundred or six hundred yuan, which was an attractive reward at that time. But an old employee of Dongguan shoe industry said that in 1996, the wages of front-line workers in the factory were about 1000 yuan, and 10 years later, the figure remained unchanged. With the economic development, the Pearl River Delta's advantages were no longer obvious. The factories run by some provincial capitals in the inland area also earn basically 600 to 800 yuan. "There are also factories in Changsha. I go there and work close to home. When I am busy farming, I can also take care of the crops in the fields, and there is no less money." Wang Baoguo, a 50 year old farmer in Xiangtan, and his wife worked in a garment factory in Foshan and Dongguan 12 years ago. Three years ago, he returned to Changsha and Ningxiang to do the same job. His wife worked in the old household farm and took care of the elderly. Wang Baoguo's son continued to work in a shoe factory in Humen, Guangdong. The monthly income last year was around 1200 yuan. Wang Baoguo said his son also wanted to move in this year because he heard that a farmer working in Jiangsu could earn 1600 yuan a month. The wage level has become the most important criterion for migrant workers to decide whether to stay or stay. Most migrant workers hold such mentality. Some people find that the overall salary level of the Pearl River Delta is lagging behind the latter than that of the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta. This seems to explain why the workers in the Pearl River Delta have shifted to the Yangtze River Delta in the past two years. "In recent years, the shortage of migrant workers has heard much. At present, the new labor contract law is being talked about. It is a problem for workers to be difficult to recruit, and how to retain people is a big problem. Nowadays, there are so few hardware employees for employees that there is no basic guarantee for their employees. Li Yiping, Professor of economics at Renmin University, analyzes the employment situation of many Chinese clothing enterprises. He said that in the situation of excess liquidity in the economy, if the excess liquidity of personnel is added, it is obviously not a good thing for enterprises and even the whole society.
