With the deepening of the “Golden Nine”, the textile market seems to have changed a lot. The voice of the market is no longer “price drop, sell price”. “Mainly goods”, but there has been a long-awaited price increase, and dyes, dyeing fees, gray fabrics, etc. have all increased to a certain extent. In addition to the above price increase information, the textile market has also seen some subtle changes compared with the first half of the year!
Nothing can be done Urgent recruitment appears!
In the first half of this year, due to the impact of the epidemic, foreign trade orders almost stagnated and domestic sales orders were very few. Many textile mills were in a state of “nothing”. There is nothing to do” situation. In dyeing factories, the average operating rate of dye vats in the first half of the year was only half, and workers often gathered together to chat. Faced with this situation, many cloth bosses also took some measures. At that time, there were frequent reports that weaving factories, dyeing factories, and trading companies had laid off many workers at once. But by September, some factories had begun to recruit workers again. What are the reasons for such a big change?
I found out that most of the workers were recruited by weaving factories that had been on a long holiday due to high temperatures. When the long holiday was over and work resumed, it was discovered that some workers had returned to their hometowns for employment, and some had found jobs elsewhere. , which also led to gaps in some positions, so recruitment began. There are also some workers recruited from dyeing factories and finishing plants. A person in charge of a dyeing factory said: “Recently, because the work has begun to increase, all our machines have been fully operated. Previously, we laid off some workers due to low orders, but now we find that There are not enough. In order to catch up with the production progress, we have to recruit new workers.”
The textile industry has collectively cut wages, but skilled workers are still popular!
It is not difficult to find from these recruitment notices that the gap is still It is mainly technical work and requires skilled workers. Skilled technical workers are very “precious” talents in the textile industry. It can be seen from the “introduction fee of 2,000 yuan”. After all, it takes at least 3 years for a skilled worker to be able to withstand 3 years of hard work, from apprentice to skilled worker. There are fewer and fewer young people. “Basically, all the people who apply for jobs are over 40 years old. Many young people who came to our factory to apply for jobs before left after not working for long. Therefore, when recruiting workers, we also tend to choose those who have families and are a little older. Because they need this job to support their families,” said a workshop director.
Since textile companies have more holidays this year, the monthly and annual salaries of textile workers have inevitably been reduced. This is For migrant workers, this is simply bad news. After all, they come here just to make more money. If their wages are reduced, they will still have to bear the pressure of rent, water and electricity bills in the local area. It’s better to go home than that.
We have enjoyed the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, high temperature holiday, as well as the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival holiday and National Day holiday. The salary must be a lot less. Our salary is calculated by shift. We will be paid according to the number of shifts.” A car driver said.
This series of factors may make the problem of worker loss next year more prominent, because many migrant workers in Wujiang area come from Anhui, Henan and other places, and some have not settled there. In addition, many textile factories have moved to places such as Anhui and Henan, so they can find jobs when they return to their hometowns, and the treatment is not much different from here. You can also save on rent, water, electricity and other expenses, and enjoy family happiness with your family.
I want to increase wages to retain workers, but Boss Bu is powerless!
Of course, some people say that workers can be retained by raising wages, but this is really too much for textile bosses. This year Many weaving factories are operating at a loss, with only expenses but no income every month, and some payment for goods outside may not be received. For these reasons, some small factories with insufficient strength simply cannot afford to raise wages for their workers. “Nowadays, all costs are rising, including rent, water and electricity, and safety supervision. Workers also have high requirements for wages. The salary of a worker in the factory is nearly 10,000 yuan, so it takes hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay wages every month. But in terms of orders, the prices given by customers are very low. Now some orders can make a few cents in profit, and some orders are taken at a loss. With this year’s market conditions, we will be satisfied if we can support the workers.” said the owner of a factory with about 40 people. .
From some of the above micro situationsLook, the market did improve in September, but how long this wave of market conditions can continue to improve remains to be verified by time. And if the market does not improve significantly, the loss of workers may become more serious next year, and textile bosses need to take precautions in advance!
