The shortage and panic of workers behind the daily wage market

The shortage and panic of workers behind the daily wage market

The reporter investigated the employment situation of enterprises in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta. Although the daily wage is high, it faces the risk of difficulty in safeguarding rights and social security.

Wages are rising fast, but employment is still in short supply! Grab a job and have a baby? Daily wage market? Shall we have a fight? Short-term workers? Rise quietly. Did the workers get tangible benefits? What is the internal cause of labor shortage? April 17 A4 edition of Japanese newspaper, "Do enterprises grab jobs and have children?" Daily wage market? "After this street, how? Daily wage market? With what? Part-time? Weibo, the official website of Guangzhou Daily, sparked a heated discussion.

The reporter investigated the employment status of enterprises in the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and the Mainland respectively, and interviewed daily wage workers on the spot to reveal the labor shortage and enterprise panic behind the prosperity of the daily wage market for readers.

Production situation: enterprises with unstable orders urgently recruit short-term workers

? In the first quarter of this year, factory orders decreased 10% compared with the end of last year. Jing Wong is the sales representative of a kitchen and bathroom company in Zhongshan. The global economic situation directly affects his company's foreign trade orders. This decline is relatively small in the same industry, and some enterprises have been overwhelmed this year. Of course, not only have foreign trade orders declined, but domestic purchases have not kept up, and the prices of raw materials, land rent and labor have all risen. ?

Companies in Jing Wong basically rely on exporting to Europe, America and Southeast Asia. Since last year, the company has received some purchase orders of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, which made him feel very embarrassed. These orders are small and urgent, and it is too uneconomical to make a single move. Only a small number of short-term workers can be recruited to do some low-skilled jobs. ? Jing Wong said that although companies sometimes take some measures to attract workers, such as raising wages to meet deadlines, it is often not as effective as recruiting short-term workers, because the daily wages of short-term workers are relatively more intuitive.

I dare not ask if the order quantity is unstable, and I dare not take orders if there are orders. The reporter randomly visited nearly 100 foreign trade export-oriented enterprises at the Canton Fair, which is an embarrassing situation that many enterprises often mention when expressing the bad economic situation and embarrassing recruitment conditions this year.

Corporate voice: short-term worker mobility wastes training costs.

When talking about the emergence of the daily wage market, Huang Zhisheng, president of Guangdong Leather Industry Association, looked helpless. In fact, most enterprises do not want to rely on short-term workers to maintain. On the one hand, the quality of products is not guaranteed, on the other hand, we dare not accept large orders for fear that no one will do it. The reason why so many enterprises are still recruiting short-term workers is mainly because the shortage of workers is too serious; Secondly, some enterprises find it more convenient to start work in this way. ?

The reporter then paid a return visit to some foreign trade export-oriented enterprises in the Canton Fair, and most of them also said that they would not take the initiative to recruit short-term workers, but there was indeed a rush to work during the export season. These enterprises come from the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta and other regions, and most of them are mainly exported. Last year, the export volume was between 3 million yuan and 600 million yuan.

Among the enterprises surveyed, nearly 70% said they were unwilling to recruit short-term workers for three main reasons. First, short-term workers are generally novices, and enterprises need to spend training costs. Second, even after training, the products produced by short-term workers will still have quality problems. If the order volume suddenly increases, it is usually overtime to improve efficiency. Third, many companies are reluctant to recruit because of trade secrets before the order is completed. Outsiders? Join.

? The reason why we dare not recruit short-term workers is because we have learned a profound lesson. An owner of a tool manufacturing enterprise who asked not to be named told reporters. In 20 12, in order to catch orders, our company once handed over non-core business such as product packaging to short-term workers. However, the customers in Europe all thought it was unqualified after three tests, which finally led to compensation of $654.38 million. ?

Relevant departments: short-term workers actually infringe upon the rights and interests of workers.

The survey found that the daily wage market? There are many migrant workers from different places in China. These migrant workers are not registered in Guangzhou and cannot participate in local social security in Guangzhou. Because of the nature of migrant workers, they can not be included in the category of flexible employment, so they are easy to fall into the vacuum of social security.

In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the Regulations Department of Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security said that the "Measures for Labor Dispatch in Guangdong Province" has been promulgated and is seeking opinions. Some migrant workers can choose labor dispatch agencies to organize migrant workers, which not only provides a channel for migrant workers to enjoy social security, but also improves the employment efficiency of enterprises. However, he also admitted that the monthly fixed social security fee may be psychologically unacceptable to workers and enterprises.

The person in charge of the Employment Promotion Department of Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security pointed out that short-term work actually infringes on the rights and interests of workers. Especially for the new generation of migrant workers, it is not good for their personal long-term development. Daily wage earners can't determine labor relations, and social security, medical security, future pension, children's schooling, and family marriage and love have all become problems. If there is an industrial accident, there is no way to protect it, which will easily lead to social problems.

Workers' self-report: pay wages every day and get hand insurance.

How big is the daily wage market? The reporter visited Shiling Town, the capital of leather goods, the day before yesterday to interview daily-paid workers. Recruiters such as leather goods dealers drive here every day and can use them at any time, mostly family-run workshops. In order to earn more than 1000 yuan a month, daily wage workers come here every day to stage bargaining games with enterprises. The reporter found that short-term workers face enterprises? Pick and choose? At that time, there was no mention of protection, and even industrial injury insurance did not have a chance to fight for it. Enterprises also hold a ready-to-use attitude, and have low requirements for workers' skills and quality.

In the courtyard of the human resources market in Shiling Town, Huadu, hundreds of workers gather here at around 8 o'clock every morning, waiting for the factory to open and recruit people. When the price is negotiated, the workers get on the bus and start a day's work and life? At the beginning of this year, a human resources market in shiling town, Huadu spontaneously formed? Daily wage workers? distribution centre

According to Lao Sun, a worker in Hunan, the distribution center for daily wage workers used to be a leather bag factory. He worked in this factory 65,438+00 years ago until last year. Last year, the factory owner owed more than 300 workers (five or six thousand yuan each) and ran away. Considering that the big factory has no insurance, Lao Sun decided to take short-term jobs. Get the hand insurance as soon as the salary is settled every day? . There are not a few workers who have the same idea. Compared with the lively daily wage casual worker recruitment market, the market for contract workers next door is deserted.

? Compared with contract workers, workers with daily wages generally earn more than contract workers 1000 yuan, so they are more free without working. ? Master Cao, who also works as a daily wage worker in the leather city of Shiling Town, said that he came here from Hubei three years ago. First of all, he is a regular worker in a big factory. At that time, his monthly salary was more than 2000 yuan. After he became a daily wage worker, he got more than 3 thousand that month, and even more than 4 thousand later Skilled workers who generally work for several years can bid more than 150 yuan every day. ?

However, many daily wage workers also admit that although they get an extra 1000 yuan or 2,000 yuan per month, they will have no protection in case of work-related injuries and unpaid wages. Master Cao has encountered a situation in which workers hurt their fingers while punching holes and it is difficult to defend their rights. At that time, when a young man punched a hole in a leather bag, he knocked off half of his left index finger (the first joint). The boss just sent him to the hospital for dressing, leaving 3000 yuan. ? Master Cao said that such a thing will definitely happen once or twice a month. Sometimes the boss gives money, and sometimes he doesn't even care.

? I can't help it when I meet a black-hearted manufacturer who doesn't pay wages. ? Master Wang from Sichuan told reporters that since there is no labor contract and written agreement between daily wage workers and enterprises, it is difficult to defend rights in case of disputes. He met a "dirty" boss who worked from 9: 30 in the morning to 10 in the evening. He should pay 120 yuan a day. As a result, the boss insisted that the car was biased and did not give a penny. In the end, he worked all day for nothing.
