Xianghe Shoe Industry Sports Shoes Shoe Making Materials.

it used to be the top 30 tax payment enterprises in the Nanhai District, paying tens of millions of taxes over the years. It used to be the leader of the shoe industry in the South China Sea. It was praised by the government for many times. It was also a highly paid stable company that the workers liked and did not lay off in the 2008 financial crisis.

It is Nanhai Xianghe Shoes Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xianghe shoe industry"), but now it is suffering from collective stoppage of workers.

more than 600 workers in the shoe industry have shut down since December 10th because of suspected factories secretly pferring assets and reducing staff salaries in disguise.

The head of the company has not yet appeared. The Labor Department of Guicheng street in the South China Sea has been involved in coordination, but it has yet to break the deadlock.

At 10 o'clock yesterday morning, the reporter came to the factory, closed the telescopic door, and gathered a large number of workers on the empty space behind the door.

heard that it was a reporter's interview. The workers first asked for examination of the documents and verified the reporters before entering them.

A foreman explained: "if you are not a journalist but a social force invited by the factory, what shall we do?" the workers looked very cautious. They said it was their first participation in collective stoppage.

the factory is very large, but almost all the open spaces are crowded with people. They either sleep in the quilt or sit on the stool and chat on the ground. There are many melon seed shells and peels on the ground.

The factory was in a mess, but the workers did not lose order.

There was a worker's introduction. In the afternoon of December 10th, more than 600 workers in the factory stopped working, and then they gathered into the open space of the factory. "We have stayed in the open air for two nights, to prevent the factory leaders from pulling away the factory equipment overnight."

There are 6 workshops and two warehouses in the factory of P shoes. There were thousands of equipment running in the peak period.

Today, all the production lines are deserted. Only two of them are equipped with equipment. The workshop is almost idle, some are dusty, while others still have traces of machine movement.

"we just suspect that the factory wants to pfer assets, and this year we continue to reduce our remuneration so that we will stop working to safeguard our rights."

The workers seemed helpless, but no one thought of going to today. After all, Xianghe shoe industry was once the leader of the shoe industry in Nanhai Ping Zhou, and it was also a dream place for workers to work.

has been brilliant: it has been paid tens of millions of years /strong for many years.

according to public information, Xianghe shoe industry started in May 2001, mainly producing less than a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_f.asp" > sports shoes < /a > and skateboard shoes series. The products are exported to Japan, Europe and the United States and other countries and regions.

According to Liu Tao, head of the machinery management department, the plant began construction in February 2000, and the assets of the plant belonged to the government. Zheng Ronglin, the Taiwan capital owner, leased production.

When the factory started production in 2001, there were only three or four hundred people and three or four production lines.

, but the factory has plenty of orders and develops rapidly.

According to Deng Hua, director of the human resources section, by 2004, the total number of factory management and production workers was 2000, reaching the peak in 2006 and 2007 and around 2800 people.

This is also confirmed by many workers. They recall that they worked overtime almost every few years. Sometimes even overnight, the average monthly wage of a general worker was more than 2000 yuan.

Liu Tao said that during the peak period, there were more than 20 production lines in the Xianghe shoe industry, including more than 1000 machines and more than 500 sewing machines.

"That is the most brilliant time of this factory. There are often government leaders coming to inspect and get many awards."

reporter inquires the related data to discover, the worker's feedback is not false.

According to the disclosure of corporate tax list of Nanhai District in 2005, Xianghe shoe industry paid 13 million 576 thousand yuan in that year, ranking twenty-seventh in the Nanhai District, or even higher than the famous Monalisa ceramics, Saturday footwear industry and other enterprises.

And in Foshan's 2006 and 2007 tax returns of over 10 million, the Xianghe shoe industry is also on the list.

In 2008, the a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_cj.asp" > financial crisis < /a > swept the Pearl River Delta. The shoe industry of P still did not suffer much impact.

Deng Hua said, at that time, the surrounding shoe factories were depressed, many companies went bankrupt, but the Xianghe shoe industry did not lay off one person.

"At that time, I really felt lucky to have found such a powerful company."

In 2008, the Xianghe shoe industry also won the "two prize" of the advanced unit of industrial injury insurance and safety production in Nanhai District.

start contracting: equipment orders pfer to Sichuan

however, the good times did not last long. After 2008, the "labor shortage" began to intensify in the Pearl River Delta. Foshan began to implement the industrial upgrading strategy of "cage changing birds". As a labor-intensive shoe company, the living environment was deteriorating.

Deng Hua, director of human resources division, said that the second half of 2008 began to reduce the number of general practitioners in Xianghe footwear industry, and that there were only about 2200 people left by the beginning of 2009, and by the beginning of 2010 there were only about 1800 people left.

The reporter inquires publicly information, found that after 2009, Xianghe shoe industry did not list the annual tax list of Foshan, the tax has been less than 10 million yuan.

At P, the Xianghe shoe industry began to move inland.

According to the "supervision list of contract signing projects for the three major investment promotion activities" released in Sichuan in 2008, Xianghe shoe industry has planned to invest 100 million yuan to build factories in Jintang, Chengdu.

"Jintang county records" also recorded that in November 2, 2008, "Taiwan Xianghe shoe industry project signing."

this is also known to all workers in the South China Sea, but the workers do not feel abnormal because they have enough orders, and they still earn 2500 yuan a month.

the public reports of Chengdu media show that in January 12, 2010, Chengdu Xinyao Shoes Co., Ltd. started the shoe making project and its chairman was also called "Zheng Ronglin".

According to a number of workers and directors of the Nanhai Xianghe shoe industry, the "Xin Yao shoe industry" is the company of Xianghe shoe industry in Jintang, but its corporate legal person is not Zheng Ronglin, but "Xiao Yongxin".

This has also become the main reason for the workers' concern later. "Not the same legal person, whose assets have been pferred. Who are we looking for to protect our rights?"

In 2011, the Chengdu Xin Yao shoes industry was put into operation, but the workers of Xianghe began to find something unusual: the factory's production line and equipment began to pfer to Chengdu.

This situation became more serious after 2012. Not only equipment was pferred, but orders began to shift to Chengdu.

Yu Shengqing, who is responsible for the production process management, said that the orders of Xianghe since February this year are over 90 thousand, which has increased year by year. However, the workers of the Xianghe shoe industry in the South China Sea have to face the situation of "no work to do" many times this year. The trend of the secret pfer of orders to Chengdu is becoming more and more prominent, which also laid the foreshadowing for workers' downtime.

collective downtime: factory pfer assets cause concern /p >

Hu Gui, the head of production management department of Xianghe shoe industry (P), has never stopped worrying about the pfer of assets.

In 2008, Xianghe also had 20 needle line and 6 product molding lines, but now only 4 stitches were left, and the molding line was reduced to two.

"this year is the most obvious year for pferring assets, especially those who are engaged in production management and warehouse management are most sensitive."

Hu Gui told reporters that he had more than 1100 employees at the beginning of this year, but now there are only more than 640 people left.

In the difficult recruitment situation, management has asked Hu Gui and other middle-level managers to "compile" teams and streamline staff.

During the period, more than 300 people were lost due to the factory's request.

"P" often attracts employees' attention as well as container trucks coming into the factory from time to time. Every time they come, they will secretly pull away a batch of mechanical equipment and warehouse shoe making raw materials.

Some employees also saw factories getting some scrap trucks to come in and sell their tools for cutting shoes.

"The key is not scrap iron, but production tools!"

a person in charge of the procurement department told reporters that the factory's top executives asked him to purchase raw materials after December instead of entering the factory.

"How to make the production without entering the factory, but the factory did not tell me where the raw materials were sent to.

Isn't that strange? "

The symptoms of "P > bad are more and more obvious, and the factory's disguised pay cuts and layoffs for employees in November this year also quietly.

In November 19th, Xianghe management announced to many department heads: "all production departments except the production units should not work overtime in the evening."

This is weird in the past few years, when the factory ordered the order and looked at overtime as a homely meal.

During this period, two employees with 10 years' qualifications were interviewed. The management wanted to buy out and dismiss them with the basic salary standard of 1100 yuan / month.

This makes almost all workers feel like a rabbit, and the tension is spreading throughout the factory.

At the end of November, at the end of November, Xianghe announced that employees would cancel their jobs on Saturday, which means that the wages of many workers would be reduced from 2000 yuan / month to 1500 yuan / month, which made workers more confident that factories were pferring assets and waiting for escape.

December 8th - 10, a few container trucks opened into Xianghe, ready to take some equipment and materials.

The workers who had been in the mood for a long time finally could not bear it, and they stopped working in the afternoon of December 10th.

In December 11th P, the workers elected 13 Workers representatives to contact the factory and the government, and put forward three demands: first, if the factory is no longer operating, it should first make up all the workers' social security, and then pay according to the labor law; secondly, if the factory continues to operate, in order to prevent the boss from going away, it is necessary to buyout the seniority of all the employees in accordance with the law, and sign the labor contract again; thirdly, the working hours of all processes should be equal and equal, and overtime should be added at the same time, otherwise, it will not be added at the same time.
