Now, workers quitting jobs and switch to the Pearl River Delta region has become one of the owners of heart disease. In the interview, bosses have said that it is a little small problems are the reasons for workers to resign. “What work when clocking too crowded, and a cafeteria where food was not good, are possible reasons.” Bosses helpless smile, “Now, the factory canteen chef is the key positions.”
In fact, the owners also understand that these are only excuses to leave the only way workers wages rose.
Pearl River Delta, adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao, has attracted a large number of Taiwan investment, but also from all over the country come to rely on cheap labor from abroad has won numerous orders for 20 years maintained a 16.9 percent average annual economic growth rate .
However, the continued development of the
wholesale jewelry did not allow migrant workers to share the practical benefits enough. Over the years, their wages are always less than expected.
Xiao Yan H Town in Dongguan City, a work in factories. He said that in 1997 when he first arrived in Dongguan, wages lower than it is now only a little bit, “at that time, this wage fared well, but now run on the point of death.” In short, as long as the other factory workers wages than their own high, Xiao Yan heart felt uncomfortable.
The boss said, workers will be house-to-house to inquire about the price, and then compared the “high single penny that they will switch to the.”
However, even watching their workers quit, resign at every turn, the boss who always said, “is that it is not up wages.” Garment factory owner to the author to such an account balance: “Raising a laborer, a month in the factory of life, accommodation is about 150 yuan, almost the cost of utilities to 40 yuan per person. Coupled with the 500 yuan of wages must be on a variety of insurance, a worker spent a month The money was close to 800 yuan. If the rise to 1,000 yuan, not to mention heavy burden on the customer requirements are often lower prices, we need to bring profits to them to stay out. “
In the economic globalization context, these small bosses of life is not easy - they and the workers are tied to a grasshopper Rope, the workers is the
fashion jewelry, the factory owner is only the penultimate . Together, they assume the local governments of various taxes and fees, support the local public construction, but also provide for the rentals to maintain their livelihood depends on the dividend of the local villagers.
In many cases, the owners of small and medium enterprises can not afford to change his embarrassing position, had turned his head to bully behind only “grasshopper.”
However, the two “grasshopper” is not diametrically opposed, they must also rely on each other before they can make to maximize their own interests.
The workers want the most just “this month, I could up the number of wages.”
When they see no hope of the recent pay rise, it will come out the factory door and find another way out.
