2022 is an extraordinary year for Vietnam. During this period, Vietnam has experienced a transformation from head-on fight against the new crown epidemic to coexisting with the new crown and vigorously developing its economy.
In the first half of the year, Vietnam's economy did recover strongly, and there was also a shortage of labor and difficulty in recruiting workers, which led to the company having orders but not having time to produce.
However, by the second half of the year, the situation has changed completely differently. Many companies have begun to lack orders and have begun to take holidays, adjust holidays or lay off employees.
According to Vietnam News, after six months of strong recovery, many factories in Ho Chi Minh City were short of orders in the second half of the year, and had to reduce production, stop recruitment, and reduce labor.
According to Nguyễn Thị Thuỳ Dung (female, 32 years old), "She works at the Delijie (Vietnam) factory in Shoude City High-tech Industrial Zone. Now she only works 48 hours a week, which means 4 days of shifts and rests for 3 days. In the past, she worked two shifts, and the assembly line was 24 hours a day, and she had to wait for one day a week.
has no work, so her income has been reduced by more than 30%. Because she raised her children alone, she had to recalculate the expenses, otherwise it would not be enough. However, as a female worker who has worked in the company for 11 years, She is still very lucky because the company has a lot of subsidies. She often comforts herself that she is now having a lot of rest time and can spend a good time with her 13-year-old son. "
According to Manager Nguyễn Thúy, a factory in Delijie (Vietnam) said: "The company has orders, but lacks accessories, so it must reduce production, but ensure that each worker works at least 48 hours a week, so that he can have basic income. The factory will not lay off employees, maintain the minimum production scale and retain workers, and wait for the market to recover."
According to Nguyễn Thúy, who works in an electronics factory in the Hi-Tech Industrial Zone Vân, female, 23 years old) said: "She is not as lucky as Nguyen Shihui. Because the company decided to lay off employees, she was not lucky and had just been listed on the layoff list. Because the company's sales are very poor, the product cannot be sold. , the factory has a large amount of inventory. The company's welfare benefits are very good. she wanted to continue working for a long time, so when she heard the news of layoffs, she felt very disappointed. "
Ayun added: " Her salary last month was only 6 million rupiah (about 1,800 yuan), a decrease of nearly 3 million rupiah from the past. Many female workers learned that they were included in the list of staff reductions, but they have not been able to find good ones. Therefore, she wanted to persist until the labor contract expires and hoped to get compensation. Some workers who can't persist have already gone to work elsewhere."
The electronics industry has many difficulties The textile industry is also short of orders
According to Trần Thị Tuyết Mai, deputy secretary-general of the Vietnam Textile and Clothing Association, said: "Not only are the electronics industry full of difficulties, but the orders of textile enterprises will be reduced in the second half of the year, which will be very difficult. Some factories have to arrange workers to take turns to rest. At the beginning of this year, enterprises received a lot of orders, but lacked workers, and many factories can only find OEMs."
The orders of textile enterprises have decreased, mainly due to the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war, and the purchasing power of fashion clothing of various brands has dropped significantly, and inventory cannot be sold. Therefore, the brand will not place new orders.
According to Nguyễn Hữu Tuấn, manager of Vietnam Chenggong Textile Trade and Investment Co., Ltd. (located in Xinping Industrial Zone, Xinfu County, Ho Chi Minh City), “The factory is still operating normally, but to 9 to 10 There will be a shortage of orders in the month.
According to the plan, the company will arrange workers to take turns off. On this year's National Day, the factory will have 8 days off (statutory 2 days) and 8 days of production suspension. Then, the company will adjust and reduce overtime work according to the actual situation, and the workers' income is expected to decrease by 10-20%. "
Ruan Youjun has been in the textile industry for more than 30 years. He also said: "The second half of this year will be the stage of "purifying" the industry. If the company has weak strength and has no orders, the cost is too high, and it will be difficult to survive, and it will have to reduce production or go bankrupt. At the same time, the unemployment rate will also increase.
