Recently, the mainland media reported that many garment factory owners on both sides of the road in the area of Kangle Village, where garment factories are concentrated in Guangzhou, are holding up recruitment signs, offering high salaries and waiting to be “picked by workers”. The news sparked a lot of public discussion, and many mainland netizens said that behind the false high salary is the oppression of workers, and now the people don’t want to be cheated.
One factory owner was quoted in a mainland media report as saying, “It’s hard to find workers who are willing to work for a long Time now.”
Another boss said, “Young people don’t want to join the industry, and those who do would rather work as casual workers than long term workers, and they have to come out almost every day to recruit people, so the situation will get worse and worse.”
There is also a factory recruiting manager said, “If you need a little more technically complex flat turner, ironing, it is more difficult to recruit, and the wages are higher. Some lathe workers are not out yet and will only come out at a high price, at least 700 yuan for one person, which is usually three or four hundred yuan.”
The above report sparked heated debate among the mainland public.
