Recently, a shoe factory in Wenzhou issued a holiday notice, saying that due to the impact of the global epidemic, the shoe factory’s production needs to be adjusted, and decided to suspend production from December 1, 2020, and take the annual holiday in advance. The notice also stated that starting from December 1, 2020, it would negotiate with employees to sign a “suspension of labor contract” relationship agreement (that is, suspension of salary and employment).
In addition to this shoe factory, there are many foreign trade-oriented factories on the market due to orders Missing already has vacation plans.
Looking at the textile industry, Although there is no information about companies taking holidays in advance, after research, many bosses said that the overall market this year is not good, and the holidays are expected to be earlier than in previous years.
Workers returning home early may affect production progress
It is understood that the holiday time in some areas It is very likely that it will be concentrated around January 15th, and judging from previous years, many workers will not be able to take the holidays. They may ask for leave directly after returning to their hometowns on New Year’s Day. A large number of workers will return home early, which will have a certain impact on the subsequent production. Among the many aspects of textile production, dyeing plants will be most affected by a shortage of workers.
Generally, the dyeing factory will have a holiday only when the thermal power plant shuts down the gas, and the dyeing factory is relatively busy before the Chinese New Year. Traders need to rush to make next year’s spring and summer orders. Once the dyeing factory workers are in short supply, they want to recruit new ones before the new year. It will be more difficult to approve temporary workers, so the overall dyeing progress will be slowed down. According to a dyeing factory salesman: “There are not enough workers in the dyeing factory when we are busy now. There will definitely be many people who want to go home early at the end of the year, and the progress of dyeing will definitely be slower by then.”
Dyeing in the dyeing factory The traders who are most affected by the slow progress are actually traders, especially those who received urgent orders before the year. Once the dyeing step is slow, it will cause problems with subsequent delivery dates. Moreover, dyeing factories are particularly prone to dyeing problems before the year. If the problem needs to be repaired later, the delivery time will be even tighter. A trader said: “I received a foreign trade order at the end of the year. The customer was very urgent, but there were few people sent to the dyeing factory, and the work was not done carefully. There was a problem with the cloth. It took a long time to repair the cloth, and the delivery date was not met. The customer asked For air freight, we lost a lot on that order, so this year I will not take such urgent orders before the year before.”
Therefore, if the delivery date is urgent before the year before, the salesperson needs to make arrangements in advance. Generally, The dyeing factory will have a window period of about a month!
Planning, it is understood that as early as early November, Boss Bu started to ask for accounts. There are also many weaving mills who chose to sell gray fabrics at low prices before the year to withdraw part of the funds. This has led to the resurgence of selling goods in the market. Not only the stock fabrics are sold at low prices, but also the freshly woven gray fabrics have begun to be thrown away. .
A textile factory owner said: “At the end of the year, workers’ wages, rent, utility bills, etc. must be paid in advance. , funds are very tight. Now we are ready to sell gray fabrics at low prices to collect some funds.”
A gray fabric manufacturer that mainly focuses on foreign trade said helplessly: “Basically, this year There are no decent orders. At this time last year, the operating rate was 100%, but this year it is only 50%. Basically, we have been producing inventory. There are 10 million meters of inventory for 200 machines. The workers’ wages at the end of the year are huge. We are I’m worried.”
Not only weaving factories are facing financial pressure, some traders were also under great pressure before the year , so many traders are reluctant to take large orders before the year. On the one hand, it is because of the delivery date and quality problems of the dyeing factory at the end of the year. More importantly, the money of the dyeing factory and the weaving factory need to be paid in advance at the end of the year, and the customer’s It will take at least 2-3 months for the balance to arrive. Once a large order is received and the funds are advanced, and the balance cannot be recovered, problems will arise in the payment of wages for salespersons, documentaries, and order processing. Rather than risk taking orders, it is better to pay the money you should pay with peace of mind, receive the money you should receive, and live a good year with peace of mind. </p
