Chapter 388 Overalls (Apologize to the book friends)
Of course, there is no need to say much about the treatment of female workers.
The starting point is much higher than that of a reporter!
Considering that the female workers will work overtime, they are specifically given six days of rest per month.
Free food and accommodation, childcare, sick leave, pregnancy leave... Fang Zhengyi even considered waiting for the textile factory to stabilize and find some teachers to ask the female workers to read and practice calligraphy. This is simply the light of great civilization!
Master Sanhe had to rush up with a bucket after seeing it!
This is not because Fang Zhengyi likes to take care of women. The concept of equality between men and women has already been deeply rooted in his bones!
In the early years of Taoyuan County's construction, manpower was in short supply, and he had a strong sense of crisis.
Fang Zhengyi set an example by treating men as animals and women as men. Even five- and six-year-old children had to go out and carry two baskets of soil when they had nothing to do.
If you catch a toad and urinate, do you still distinguish between male and female?
The reason why we provide such generous treatment conditions is because the social concept is so bad!
If there is a slight disturbance and the reputation of the textile factory goes wrong, a large number of female workers will definitely run away with baskets, and it will even be much more difficult to recruit workers in the future.
According to the general ledger, although there are many benefits for female workers, it is still much more cost-effective than hiring men.
Moreover, female workers are better at fine work such as sewing and mending, and have a calm temperament. Men are different. They are relatively less easy to manage. Let’s not talk about whether they are good at doing this kind of work. Even if they are, they are not meticulous enough, and there is also a matter of face.
The problem is, recruiting people is more difficult...
Therefore, we must first build the textile factory into a job that other women can envy.
If the word spreads through the mouth of a female worker, even if the man behind the female worker is dissatisfied, he will shut up after seeing real money.
After Xiao Tao finished explaining everything, Fang Zheng turned around and walked around the corner in front of everyone.
At this moment, the female workers are completely immersed in the fantasy of a better life in the future.
Fang Zheng clapped his hands and said loudly: "Okay! Everyone should understand the basic situation."
“Let me tell you a few more words below!”
Xiaotao clapped mechanically, and the others followed suit!
After the applause ended, Fang Zhengyi continued: "You are the first batch of female workers in the Banshan Textile Factory. You are of extraordinary significance and have a bright future. Maybe you earn less now..."
"....Compared with the treatment, the narrow-mindedness is narrower. The more dedication, the higher the realm!...."
An hour passed.
Li Yuanzhao looked at the chattering Fang Zhengyi with a sad expression.
It's so boring, I really can't stay any longer. When will it end?
You have been completely out of the spotlight, yet you are still talking so much nonsense, and you have no intention of stopping.
I didn't expect Lao Fang to have such ability...
Fang Zheng pursed his dry lips and said, "That's all for today. Everyone should be tired."
"Someone will assign you dormitories in a while. The person who assigns dormitories to you is your administrator. If you have any questions, you can report them to her! I'm gone, you should study hard!"
After that, Fang Zhengyi left the textile factory with the sleepy prince, Xiao Tao and others.
Chen Xiaoman held the child in her arms and looked at Fang Zheng's retreating figure, her eyes full of gratitude.
Now the worries in my heart are gone!
Not only did the textile factory have no problems, it was even better than I imagined.
As long as I work enough shifts and still get the Model Worker Award, wouldn't that mean I can earn more than my own men?
In this way, the family can pay for medicine, their life can be improved, and their children can even have books to read!
Planning for the future in her heart, listening to the joyful chatter in her ears, Chen Xiaoman couldn't help but be gradually infected and smiled.
Not long after, people began to assign dormitories. The administrator arranged for the female workers present to make the assignments.
These administrators were all skilled workers that Fang Zhengyi had hired in advance from Taoyuan County.
Soon Chen Xiaoman and seven other roommates were assigned to a dormitory.
Upon entering the dormitory, Chen Xiaoman looked at the furnishings in the room in surprise.
The assigned dormitory is actually bigger than my home!
There are bunk beds for eight people, but the bed is not generally large and can accommodate two petite people lying side by side.
Fang Zhengyi took this issue into consideration when he first built the bed.
Some female workers may have to take their children to sleep, so they specially order the beds to be made larger.
Not only is there a bed, but also white bedding has been laid out on the bed board.
There are also lockers and other facilities along the wall.
Seeing that they had all chosen their positions, the administrator said, "You guys will be in the same dormitory from now on. It's best to elect a dormitory leader before tonight. If you have any questions, the dormitory leader should come to me and tell me."
"Every day, people will be arranged to check the hygiene in the dormitory. There should be no garbage on the ground. If any garbage is found, wages will be deducted."
"Master Fang said, this is for your own good. Only by developing good habits can you work well in the production area and prevent accidents."
Then the administrator walked to the lockers, opened a random grid and introduced: "This is the locker, each of you pick a spot."
"There are soap locusts, towels, basins, sanitary napkins, a set of work clothes and an attendance card in here!"
As he said that, the administrator picked up the sanitary napkin: "This is a replacement for the menstrual belt. Throw it away when it gets dirty. The factory will distribute it for free!"
"With it, you can go to work normally without affecting anything!"
"This attendance card will be clocked in by someone before you go to work in the factory every day. This is also the proof of payment of wages at the end of the month. Remember to keep it!"
"And this set of work clothes has been prepared for you in advance. If it doesn't fit particularly well, you can apply for an exchange."
Chen Xiaoman looked at the work clothes and blinked in disbelief. Are there any new clothes?
It's just that the style of this work uniform is a bit strange.
The administrator shook off his clothes and said, "These are your work clothes. The top is just an ordinary top, but these pants are not ordinary pants. They are called overalls!"
"The first product our textile factory officially started producing is this overall."
"These overalls have many advantages. They can prevent the pants from sliding down without a belt. Running or jumping will not affect your movements!"
"You can wear it to feel it first, and study its stitching in advance."
"Also, if you want to go home tonight, you can go back first. If you come back the next day, you will have to wait until the holiday. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" eight people replied in unison.
"Okay, you guys can rest, I'm leaving first."
After the administrator left, no one in the dormitory spoke. Instead, they found their own bunks, sat on the bed and carefully packed their luggage.
Chen Xiaoman's location is good, it's a lower bunk.
She gently touched the brand new bedding with her hands and felt warm in her heart.
The bedding in my home has been used for I don’t know how many years. It has been mended and mended, and it has already become thin and yellowed.
Unexpectedly, I was assigned a new set of bedding and clothes when I first entered the factory.
After looking at the behavior of other roommates, they were all similar to hers, and I was moved and happy.
After packing their luggage, they put on work clothes, stood up, danced left and right.
Although it looks a little weird, these overalls are really comfortable. Some people even hummed a few lines of songs happily and jumped in place twice...
After the excitement was over, several people lay on their own beds and told their stories in unison.
Those who are able to come here must have put in some courage.
They all come with the hope of improving the lives of poor people, and the topics are naturally very speculative.
Everyone just chatted like this until it got late and some people started to go home...
