Where Have All The Workers Gone? The Test Of Dalian Garment Processing Industry

　　 Overtime hours frighten front-line workers. Out of a three times higher price than usual, he could not find a clothing company to take orders. Sun Xiaojun, who was engaged in the foreign trade industry for many years, did not understand the current market. He refused the reply from his clothing processing factory. Has labor shortage really become the bottleneck of garment processing enterprises? Where have all the workers gone?

Take three. Order No processing plant can be found.

Sun Xiaojun has been engaged in the foreign trade garment industry for many years. Last year, due to the financial crisis, orders in his hands sharply decreased. He insisted that by the beginning of this year, he decided to change his career. However, since May this year, some old customers have contacted him to place an order. According to the requirements of the customer, Sun Xiaojun ordered three orders to the familiar garment processing factory, but he was refused. Because the customer was anxious to get the goods and the price was higher, Sun Xiaojun raised the price by three times. To his surprise, there was still no processing factory to pick up his list.

Sun Xiaojun spent half a month running in dozens of medium-sized garment factories in Dalian, and all of them were rejected. Faced with the large orders in Sun Xiaojun's hands, the bosses of the garment factories expressed their frustration and regret: "how can we not meet such a high profit? There is really no manpower. Now the working hours are already full, even if we recruit people temporarily."

Sun Xiaojun said he has decided to give up his search for processing plants in Dalian and leave for factories such as Huludao.

The labour market is in a rush.

Yesterday morning, reporters in the Dalian labor market saw that the exhibition board was full of recruitment information, among which the recruitment information of the garment processing plant was very large, and the salary was obviously higher than before. A recruiter at a garment processing factory told reporters that she had been in the labour market for several days but failed to recruit the workers she wanted. "Most of the current workers are post-80s and post-90s young people. They not only require higher salary and salary, but also have requirements for the working environment. Our factories are not large enough, and the dormitory conditions of their employees are general. The recruiter said there was not enough manpower in the factory. Not only did he dare not pick up the new order, but even the original order was afraid that he could not deliver the goods on time.

A family in Jinzhou District Garment factory The staff of the Ministry of labour and industry said that the workers' gap reached 30%, and other factories with serious gaps reached 40% to 45%. Even if there is a salary increase of 2000 yuan in clothing factories and a commitment to pay insurance, recruitment difficulties still exist.

Analysis

Overtime is a major obstacle to recruitment.

For garment processing plants Labor shortage Phenomenon, Dalian public occupation center Li Yaqiu introduced, garment processing factory employment contradiction for a long time, causing the current situation is mainly due to the clothing factory's working hours and employment characteristics.

Clothing factories usually need to be hand sewing workers. Generally, the sewing workers are over thirty years old. Most of the workers in this age group have homes or children, and once the garment factories receive foreign orders, they must work overtime and workers can not return home on time. This makes many workers prefer to be a handyman who can work on time and do not want to work in a garment factory. Unmarried workers are often unskilled in sewing, unable to complete the urgent task of garment processing.

In addition, because of the better rural policy in recent two years, the income of farmers' land has increased a lot than before. Some migrant workers quit working in the city and chose to go home to work so that the number of migrant workers in the city decreased significantly.

"If the problem of too long working hours of garment factories can not be solved, then the problem of labor shortage will be difficult to resolve." Li Yaqiu said.
