Chapter 366 Workers' Associations

Several people looked around in the dormitory, full of curiosity about the interior furnishings.

Two middle-aged people, with traces of time on their faces, told the security personnel a little nervously that they had never lived in such a good house, and they were worried that they would not be able to afford to pay for the dirt.

If you are too lazy to clean, you can turn over the door number outside the dormitory, and there will be a special cleaning staff who will enter the house to clean.

With such thoughtful considerations, even Kou Shaoli couldn't help but sigh, even workers in developed countries don't have such good accommodation conditions, right?

About a few years ago, he went to Foxconn and interviewed workers jumping off buildings, and he knew that the dormitories where workers lived were usually cramped and crowded, and those workers came from different parts of the country, and everyone's living habits were different.

Smoking, drinking, playing cards, garbage is not cleaned up, and confetti is thrown everywhere, which can definitely be described as dirty and messy.

Plus they are all adults and don't necessarily obey management.

When a tiring day of work, they are too lazy to move, and only a few people who are more diligent and clean will choose to clean up their beds, but most people will only use their dormitories as a place to sleep, and are not willing to put more energy into cleaning.

No matter how much the dormitory administrator stressed, even the threat of wage deductions, it was ineffective.

I didn't expect the infinity company, so humane, to take these into account.

During the conversation, Kou Shaoli also learned that this security guard in his early thirties is called Zhuang Yong, and he has only been in Infinity for more than a year after he retired from the army.

When they talk about the question of whether the company would lose money if every worker had such a high welfare package.

Zhuang Yong's gaze slowly moved from everyone's faces, and he said in a low voice: "Don't forget, we are a socialist country, and the rights and interests of workers should be protected. ”

Kou Shaoli was speechless, but he felt that a warm current flowed through his heart.

This is the bearing that a large enterprise should have!

What workers care about is whether their labor is duly respected, not how much the company's turnover and output value have increased, which are illusory for ordinary people.

If a person cannot share the dividends brought by the company's development, he will naturally not have any sense of identity with the company.

This is the case for grassroots workers.

It's no wonder that over the years, there has always been a steady stream of talent pouring into Infinity!

That night, sleeping in the staff dormitory of Infinity Company, on the soft big bed, Kou Shaoli, who had always slept well, had insomnia, tossed and turned, and never fell asleep.

The next day, after they had a free breakfast in the community cafeteria, under the guidance of the security officer Zhuang Yong, they went to the factory where they were going to work.

On the outskirts of Nanshan District, Infinity Company's electronics manufacturing plant.

Kou Shaoli received a well-fitting blue uniform and an exclusive work card.

But when they entered the production workshop, the staff of Infinity informed them of some things.

In November, before the official release of the Dimensity phone, the phone entered the mass production stage, and the metal detector in the factory was so sensitive that no metal object could pass through, not even the steel wire on the chest.

This made Kou Shaoli very regretful, so he could only leave his shooting and recording equipment in the cabinet for safekeeping.

Before entering the workshop, he passed through a dust removal device, and his whole body was electrostatically dusted.

He was assigned to the assembly department, which was also the largest department, and his job was to attach the protective film to the back of the phone and screw a screw.

The whole workflow is very boring, but the speed of the assembly line is not fast, and there is no "death line" that people often criticize in other factories, and it can even be described as easy.

In the distribution of posts, in any case, each person and each part is in their own precise position, there is an inexplicable "rationality", which does not appear to be messy at all.

In addition, Kou Shaoli was also surprised to find that there were no line leaders, team leaders and other management personnel in the factory, staring at them to do things, only a few engineers from Infinity Company, occasionally appearing on the production line, paying attention to possible problems.

He even met an engineer and asked them modestly if they had encountered any discomfort in their work, or the assembly line, and what needed to be improved in the production process.

Such a low posture made many workers who were accustomed to being called around feel flattered.

In the morning, after three hours of work, Kou Shaoli had a warm relationship with several workers on the production line.

The main thing is that the work of screwing is very boring, and you always have to find something to do, and small talk is the most common way.

Infinity engineers are not forbidden to make small talk while working.

As long as it does not affect the order of production, there are basically no restrictions.

He didn't even find a rule in the factory regulations to deduct wages, even if he was late, as long as there was a valid reason for not exceeding three times a month, it was negligible.

However, it is important to note that any discriminatory behavior is prohibited, and the first time you will be warned, the second time you will be expelled, and you will never be hired.

This is the most stringent regulation that Kou Shaoli found.

This may be one of the reasons why the atmosphere of Infinity is always so harmonious.

From 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., it is time for the workers to eat and take a lunch break.

Kou Shaoli had lunch and took advantage of this free time to wander around the factory area.

In addition to seeing the production line being built rapidly, he also saw a group of children running not far away, rolling and wrestling on the newly laid grass.

After inquiry, I learned that the company considered that many employees could not take care of the children at home because of their work, so they specially divided a large area as a childcare area.

The corporate culture of Infinity Company has always been relaxed and humanized, and even the children of employees are also immersed in this relaxed and happy mood, enjoying the fun of childhood freely.

The company arranges several professionals to take care of these children, and often carry out some interest activities, including natural science, physics experiments, etc., they participate in group activities in the open air, on the sunny grass, in the embrace of nature, according to their own interests.

Entertaining and educating is the special care that Infinity Company takes care of the families and children of these employees.

In this society where economic interests are paramount, in the boring factory park, these children enjoy a happy childhood that many children of the same age cannot enjoy.

There was no difference in the afternoon's work, it was still screwing, and the infinity company subdivided each post workshop, resulting in Kou Shaoli not being able to get in touch with more information about smartphones at all.

Come to think of it, with the tightness of Infinity's products, how can it be easy for people to investigate these data?

Otherwise, those commercial espionage would have succeeded long ago.

The only thing he knows is that in Infinity Company, these assembly lines, the defective rate of product parts is very low, almost all of them are maintained within 8%!

This is very amazing in the entire mobile phone industry!

Think about Infinity Company, in the field of precision manufacturing, has been in the forefront of many manufacturers, otherwise their electronic products would not be so cheap.

He spent the whole afternoon thinking about these questions.

However, it was only five o'clock when an engineer from Infinity came to remind them that they were going to leave work and that there would be another group of employees to continue their work.

Kou Shaoli was shocked, he only went to work at nine o'clock in the morning, and now he gets off work at five o'clock in the afternoon?

Are the two hours of the lunch break counted as working hours?

Isn't the actual number of hours they work in a day just six hours?

Kou Shaoli and the engineer confirmed again and again before they believed that all this was true.

Originally, Infinity Company adopted the form of three shifts, and workers worked in three shifts in the morning, noon and night, and under normal circumstances, employees were not allowed to work overtime.

According to the company, if employees work day and night for a long time and cannot see the sun in the morning and the sunset in the evening, it is easy to have psychological problems, such as depression, anxiety and so on.

From an economic point of view, there is no time to spend, which is very unreasonable.

Even, the senior management of Infinity has already taken the lead in preparing to set up a workers' association, which will set up a professional team of lawyers to help and protect the interests of workers.

After listening to this, Kou Shaoli couldn't describe all this.

Although Infinity is essentially a foreign-funded company, no one really treats them as foreign-owned, after all, the company's founders are all natives of the mainland and are headquartered in the mainland.

But most of the mainland factory owners, their way of accumulating wealth is through the exploitation of labor.

A large part of the company's profits are obtained by deducting workers' wages in various ways.

This has greatly hurt the recognition of the majority of workers for openness, and even caused many social problems.

In South China, of course, there is more than one foreign-funded company, but due to the imperfection of labor laws, many foreign-funded enterprises choose to "follow the local customs" and ignore the labor law and WTO agreements in order to pursue higher profits.

The relevant institutions are also turning a blind eye.

Only a very small number of foreign-owned enterprises strictly abide by these rules.

Leaving work so early is not suitable for many people.

Kou Shaoli walked out of the factory gate and found that on both sides of the road, there were many vendors who were setting up stalls with objects and selling some homemade food and daily necessities.

Near the entire factory area, it seems that a large market has been formed.

The factory staff did not drive them away, only asked them not to affect the road traffic.

The chengguan did not crack down on this either.

A sentence suddenly popped up in Kou Shaoli's mind:

The peddlers are pawns, and they lead cars to sell pulp, which is the best embodiment of the market economy.

Isn't this kind of vitality exactly what we need most?

Next, Kou Shaoli stayed in the Infinity company's factory for a few days, during which he also applied for a job change, which gave him a better understanding of the entire production process.

After that, he found the personnel department and handled the resignation, and the procedures were approved on the same day, and the salary of 600 yuan was a lot, and it was quickly hit into his card, and the whole process was not troubled.

So much so that when he handed over his dark blue uniform, he was still a little reluctant.

In the evening, he returned to the newspaper's editorial office.

Sitting in front of the fluorescent screen of the computer, Kou Shaoli took a sip of tea from time to time and typed on the keyboard for a while.

“..... These days, I always hear words such as "treat everyone equally" and "hurry up and get off work", and suddenly, I feel as if I am not in China, but in a fantasy world, that magical company, is using its own maverick way to reverse this flawed market environment...."

"I have no doubt that even if someone suddenly deprives them of all their wealth, as long as their founders are still as smart as before, the system is still there."

"Then, the rebuilding of a huge group is also just around the corner!"
