Chapter Seventy-Nine: Self-Funded Training
"Mother, will we be driven away? I saw my uncle next door being kicked out today......"
In a house that smells of rotting wood, Baldwin is boiling beans. A thin little girl next to her asked her weakly.
Baldwin looked back at his daughter.
"Don't worry about the kids, they won't ......"
She hadn't paid her rent last month, and if she didn't pay it this month, she would probably be evicted by her landlord, but she didn't want her daughter to worry.
"If only my father were alive......"
The little girl bowed her head in some disappointment.
Her father died of illness a year ago, leaving her and her mother at home. When he was treating his father, he spent what little savings he had in the family, and now he can only rely on his mother to work in the factory to support the family. She was young and thin, and no factory wanted her.
"Alas......"
Baldwin reached out and rubbed his daughter's head, then sighed helplessly.
Relying on her meager salary from working in a textile factory, she was barely able to support her and her daughter.
But the factory has already owed her three months' wages, saying that it will be paid this month. Baldwin had no choice but to wait.
From time to time, the factory would default on wages, but it would still be paid later, and she also agreed with the landlord that as soon as the wages were paid, she would make up the rent immediately.
As a result, she didn't expect that this kind of waiting would leave the company behind!
She had also heard from her colleagues before that the giant cotton textile factory seemed to have suddenly become very powerful, and many small factories were not their opponents.
But what does this have to do with her, after all, the Sandy Textile Factory where she works is the largest textile factory in Jombi City.
And she doesn't understand the big guys. She couldn't tell who was great. She could only mechanically follow orders given by the company.
I'm looking forward to whether my salary will be paid tomorrow.
But who knows, the salary didn't come, but waited for a thunderbolt from the blue - their boss, Sandy, ran away!
Leave these factories, these workers, and just run away.
However, her salary has not been paid yet!
Not only her, but most of the workers were not paid!
The workers found their respective small leaders and sought explanations, but found that the leaders were also confused, and when they asked, they learned that the wages of the small leaders had not been paid!
People who can be small leaders are naturally more active, they know some of the situation, and they know that Sandy should not be able to withstand the attack of the giant cotton textile company before running away, and he will not come back.
I can't wait for the salary, I have to think of something else.
So these small leaders encouraged these workers to take the fabric to deduct their wages.
But who knows, before this began, a police officer came to the door, saying that these factories and the contents of the factories now belong to the credit bank, and no one can touch them.
Looking at the long musket, no one dared to disobey, so they could only obediently go home and wait for the notice.
It was a long wait, and it was basically bad news - no one dared to buy the factory that Sandy left behind, and it couldn't be sold. And they will probably become vagrants......
However, two days ago, there was finally good news and bad news at the same time.
The good news is that there is a company that has taken over the Sandy Textile Mills.
The bad news is that the person who took over is the giant cotton textile factory, and their factory does not need manual weaving at all, and these workers who were originally in the Sandy textile factory are likely to be unemployed.
Baldwin went out every day to look for a job, but he couldn't find it. Because now there is only one large textile factory left in Qiongbi City, and that is the Jumian Textile Factory.
And she can only work with textiles, and she is just an ordinary human woman, unable to find manual work.
Now, she can only wait, waiting for the news from the giant cotton textile factory.
She didn't dare to think about back wages or something, she just hoped that she could still have a job, so that she and her daughter would not be kicked out to sleep on the street. It's so cold now, sleeping outside in the snow will kill you.
Knock Knock Knock –
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Baldwin, the company has a notice to come down, let's all go to the factory to gather!"
This is the voice of her team leader, and she can hear it, and the team leader is also very excited. Baldwin never thought that the squad leader's duck voice would sound so good.
"Good!"
Baldwin hurriedly brought the boiled beans to the table, and she told her daughter to stay at home, and then left with the large group.
……
Former Sandy Textile Factory.
When Baldwin arrived, many workers had already arrived, and everyone was gathered around, and she hurried over.
"I see that there are a lot of employees, then I will explain the "Notice of Self-funded Application for Training of Steam Textile Technology", simply put, Jumian Textile Company knows that it is not easy for everyone, if you are not taken in, you will lose the job you rely on, but Jumian Textile Company does not need manpower to spin, your technology is useless......"
The man paused, and when he saw the sad expressions on the faces of many people, he continued.
"So, the Jumian mill now offers a solution. That's where they run an in-house training course to train you to be skilled workers in the use of steam looms. In that case, you can stay! ”
"And all you have to pay is a small amount of training costs. Of course, compared to the stable job in the future, the cost of 150 yuan is not worth mentioning at all. So, the choice is yours. It is limited to three days, and it will not wait for the obsolescence. ”
When Baldwin heard the front, he was still a little excited, thinking that he had a way out, but when he heard the back, his heart suddenly cooled, and his eyes were full of despair.
150 yuan is almost a month's salary. If you can teach her to be proficient in using a steam loom, it is really not expensive, because it means that she will have a job in the future.
But the problem is, she doesn't have any money......
When the other workers heard the news, some were happy and some were sad.
The people who are worried are almost in the same situation as Baldwin, it is already very difficult, how can they get the money.
Not to mention three days, like Baldwin, she can't take it out if she gives her thirty days.
"Oh yes, I forgot to say it. The leaders of Jumian Textile Factory are considerate of us workers and know that some people may want to participate in the training, but they can't get the money for the time being, so they provide a humanized plan, that is, you can make interest-free loans to the company! ”
"As long as you are willing to receive training and can provide evidence of family hardship, you can borrow 150 yuan from the company for the training fee, remember that this is not interest-free! When you finish your training and start working, the money will be deducted from your salary in installments...... If you want to sign up, hurry up! ”
"You can borrow money from the company!"
"Wow!"
"This giant cotton company is too good!"
"A conscientious enterprise!"
Everyone was a little surprised.
Baldwin hurriedly wiped away some tears of excitement, and then rushed to the front and shouted, "I want to sign up!" ”
