On December 12, train tickets for the 2020 Spring Festival Transport have gone on sale. According to the State Railway Group Co., Ltd., the 2020 Spring Festival Railway Transport will start on January 10 and end on February 18, a total of 40 days, 15 days before the festival. , 25 days after the festival. National railways are expected to carry 440 million passengers, a year-on-year increase of 8%. Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, the Spring Festival is approaching, and it’s time to go home to celebrate the New Year. The “tide of return home” of textile workers is coming too!
The “special” market situation has caused workers to return home early!
Due to the poor economic environment this year, the textile industry chain from bottom to top is experiencing a lack of orders and high inventories. Many textile factories are under pressure and are currently suspending or semi-stopping production. state.
Major textile clusters have shown signs of “cooling down” and the operating rate has declined. The average operating rate of looms in Shengze is concentrated around 80%, and that of Changxing water-jet looms remains at 70-80%. In Changshu and Haining, the warp knitting machine operating rate is around 70%, and in Xiaoshao, the circular knitting machine operating rate is about 50-60%. After investigation, many manufacturers said that due to the lack of orders, they will take holidays early this year, probably from the end of December to early January.
Furthermore, the Spring Festival is coming soon. When the company is not busy, everyone thinks it is better to take leave and go home early to celebrate the New Year. , firstly there is no need to be crowded on the train, and secondly it is to go home early to rest and spend time with the family. After all, textile factory workers rarely get a few days off throughout the year.
Of course, many workers will choose to stay in the local area even if they have no work to do. According to the rules of previous years, by the end of the year, manufacturers will recruit temporary workers with high wages. They just plan to stay here and make more money.
The boss is most afraid that the workers will never come back!
Generally speaking, weaving factories are the first to have holidays in the entire textile industry chain. At this time, the boss begins to worry about how to retain these workers when it is so difficult to recruit workers. The editor was also deeply touched during the visit.
A security guard in Shengze with a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan said that he and his family have settled in the local area, and the salary is not bad. He has also bought a house here for his children’s education, and will definitely come back after the Chinese New Year. A textile merchandiser born in the 1990s told the editor that after the Spring Festival, he will leave the textile company where he has been working for less than a year and return to his hometown to start a small business, or go to a big city to engage in industries such as real estate sales and insurance. .
From this point of view, compared with old employees, the mobility of young employees born in the 80s and 90s before and after the Spring Festival The rate is relatively high. In many textile companies that do not offer generous welfare benefits, some employees choose to leave the company and look for new jobs due to the “return to their hometowns”.
Furthermore, since the start of the water-jet loom environmental protection campaign in 2017, after the water-jet looms in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas were transferred to northern Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Jiangxi and other places, many migrant workers have chosen to return He works in his hometown, so many factory employees have lost their jobs and face recruitment difficulties. In addition, workers have increasingly higher demands for wages and benefits. Difficulty in recruiting and expensive labor has become a “long-standing problem” in the textile industry. Every year after the holidays, the recruitment issue has always been a hot topic in the textile industry, especially front-line skilled workers, such as security workers, turnkey workers, etc. Due to long working hours and difficult environment, there has always been a huge gap!
This year’s market is really bad, so many textile people are not optimistic about next year’s market. This also leads to the fact that this year’s return wave is likely to intensify, and cloth bosses need to prepare early.
Afterword
Constrained by a series of factors such as external capacity shocks, repeated Sino-US trade, increasing cost pressure, and a sluggish general environment. Well, this year’s market situation can only be described as “miserable”! At present, the weaving end has also begun to reduce its operating hours, and the holiday may be brought forward. It is reported that the dyeing factory will shut down around January 6. The editor would like to remind all cloth bosses to hurry up to receive orders, produce, and dye, leaving time for you. Running out!
