Yesterday, the editor saw someone posting such a picture in the circle of friends. I thought it was very interesting at first, but looking back, the time for the textile enterprises to resume work has been pushed back again and again. For For some textile companies that are in poor operating conditions, if they do not resume work for a long time, perhaps the thing ridiculed in the picture may actually become a reality.
Recently, resumption of work is undoubtedly the hottest topic in society, and it is also a major issue. The issue that some textile companies are most concerned about, today we will talk about the resumption of work of textile companies.
It is difficult to resume work
When can we resume work
First of all, what everyone is most concerned about is when we can really resume work. Although the picture at the beginning of the article is just a joke about the time for resumption of work being pushed back again and again, it also reflects to a certain extent the problems currently encountered by textile companies, which is that the original time for resumption of work is being pushed back again and again.
Take the Oriental Silk Market as an example. The holiday was originally on the eighth day of the first lunar month, then on February 2nd, then postponed to after the Lantern Festival, and now it has been postponed to February. After the 20th, it is still unknown whether there will be further postponements.
The same is true for other major textile clusters in the country, such as Guangzhou Baima Clothing Market, Hongmian International Fashion City, Guangzhou International Textile City, Guangzhou Textile Trading Park, and Haimen Industrial Park , Dieshiqiao Home Textile Market, Haining China Home Textile City, Zhongda Textile Business District, etc. even issued documents stating that they would postpone the opening of the market indefinitely.
For textile companies, it is really unknown when they can actually start work.
The problem of difficulty in recruiting workers
Even if construction starts, difficulty in recruiting workers is still a big problem.
When the epidemic just broke out after the Chinese New Year, there was news that some companies that produced masks and other anti-epidemic materials started working urgently and paid 3 times or even 5 times the salary to recruit workers, but the number of people Still not all recruited.
This is only a problem encountered by some mask factories when they start operations. When a large number of textile companies actually start operations, the problem of difficulty in recruiting workers will become more prominent.
Textile companies have always had difficulty recruiting workers. With the improvement of people’s living standards, many young people are unwilling to engage in labor-intensive manufacturing jobs. During the Spring Festival recruitment in the past two years, various textile companies have also racked their brains to find workers. For example, technical jobs such as truck drivers and security workers have become “hot spots” in the recruitment market, and monthly salaries exceeding 10,000 are common.
This is only a situation encountered in previous years. Affected by the epidemic this year, the movement of workers has been greatly restricted. Some places have even issued documents restricting the entry of people from some provinces. Those who have returned from other places are also required to self-quarantine at home for 14 days.
These measures will indeed be of great help in controlling the epidemic, but they will also greatly restrict the return of migrant workers. It is foreseeable that the recruitment difficulty this year will be more severe than in previous years.
Epidemic prevention issues after resumption of work
After recruiting workers, epidemic prevention is also a huge problem.
The current epidemic is still in a period of rapid outbreak, and everyone is very nervous. Once a worker is suddenly diagnosed after resuming work, the blow to the company will be fatal.
In terms of money, if an employee is diagnosed, everyone in close contact with the employee needs to be quarantined. The quarantine fee for an employee is 4,270 yuan, and all of this money is It must be borne by the enterprise itself.
In other aspects, when epidemic prevention is the top priority in the country, if workers are infected after the company resumes work, it can almost be regarded as a major safety incident, and for most companies It can undoubtedly be said to be a “catastrophe”.
Therefore, if companies want to resume work, how to prevent the epidemic is the top priority. In addition to preparing regular epidemic prevention items such as masks and disinfectants for employees, certain protective measures also need to be taken for employees when they go to and from work. It is also essential to measure the temperature of employees every day and disinfect the workplace regularly. measure.
To do these things, in addition to spending a lot of money, it also requires a lot of manpower.
But even if there are so many difficulties, for textile people, these are all hurdles that must be overcome.
Why must textile companies Want to resume work?
Resumption of work in order to survive
The first and most practical thing is that the enterprise itself Need to survive.
For enterprises, there is no output during the holidays, but there is still a lot of expenditure. The boss of a manufacturing company in Dongguan with 150 employees once said that under normal circumstances, the cost of workers’ wages, rent, water and electricity, and machine depreciation is as high as 1.5 million yuan per month. Although there has been a slight saving in water, electricity, employee wages, etc. due to the recent shutdown, But it is still a large amount of money. More importantly, because of the holiday, these expenses are now invested with almost no output, which is equivalent to a net loss.
Because the overall market situation of the textile industry last year was not good, a large number of textile companies were relatively tight in terms of funds. Faced with such losses, it became difficult to guarantee their normal production and operations. .
Therefore, if a company starts work one day earlier, it means it can stop losses one day earlier and survive better.
Socioeconomic needs
There are also social and economic needs.
In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, “clothing” ranks first. There are 1.3 billion people in the country. Everyone needs clothes, which are “rigid needs”, so whether textile companies can have The orderly resumption of work is also a major event related to people’s normal life.
Not to mention that China, as the “world’s factory”, ranks first in the world in total exports of textiles and clothing every year. If China’s textile exports drop sharply, the normal lives of people in most parts of the world will be affected. Lives will be affected.
Therefore, from this perspective, it is also very necessary to ensure the gradual resumption of work of textile enterprises.
Many places have introduced measures to help resuming enterprises solve their “urgent needs”
On February 8, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council in response to the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic issued the “Notice on Effectively Strengthening Scientific Prevention and Control of the Epidemic and Orderly Resuming Work and Production of Enterprises.”
On February 9, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “Notice on Response to the New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic and Helping Small and Medium-sized Enterprises to Restore Work and Production and Overcome Difficulties Together.”
The Ministry of Commerce stated at a press conference on February 9 that on the premise of implementing epidemic prevention and control measures, it will guide local governments in scientific assessment, hierarchical control, highlighting key points, and gradually expanding the scope.
At the same time, local governments across the country have also introduced various measures to ensure the orderly resumption of work and production of local enterprises.
After Suzhou introduced the “Ten Policies for Suhui” and “Twelve Policies for Suzhou and Huiwai”, it once again launched the “three services” of enterprise employment services, transportation services and key project services. Mechanism”;
Shaoxing City issued the “Implementation Opinions on the Resumption of Work and Epidemic Prevention and Control of Enterprises in the City”;
Jiaxing The municipal government recently issued the “Notice on Jiaxing City’s National Mobilization Plan to Participate in Enterprise Resumption of Work”…
These policies are all aimed at those companies that have the greatest impact on enterprises under the influence of the epidemic. It can be said that it can effectively help enterprises alleviate their “urgent needs” in terms of difficult and pain points such as capital financing, insurance taxes, epidemic prevention and control, logistics guarantee, and demand docking.
I believe that with the unremitting efforts of textile people and the joint help of the whole society, we The epidemic will eventually be defeated, and textile companies will surely be able to survive these difficult days and rise from the ashes!
