< p > February 17th, in recent years, this is the season when shoe companies are busy recruiting and starting work. But this year, a large number of enterprises in Wenling are shut down due to unqualified fire safety, unlicensed operation and illegal construction.

< /p >

< p > this regulation has made local small shoe enterprises and migrant workers dissatisfied.

On the morning of 17, hundreds of business owners and migrant workers gathered in front of the Hengfeng Street office. The main demands included: asking for a return to work; after the demolition and disorderly operation, the enterprises had nowhere to produce, required the government to set out the venue, some illegal buildings were demolished, and the tenants demanded a refund of the rent.

On the same day, the leaders of the Wenling municipal government held a dialogue with the masses, indicating that those who were eligible for rectification could resume their work.

The crowd dispersed in the evening.

< p > the government hopes to completely eliminate the potential safety hazard through shutting down and promote the pformation and upgrading of < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > shoe industry < /a >.

According to the leadership of Wenling, as of the Spring Festival, Wenling has shut down 4559 shoe factories and demolished illegally built 262 thousand and 600 square meters.

A Wenling city leader stressed to reporters that the existing problems of these shut down enterprises were fire facilities failed, unlicensed operation, illegal business building construction and so on.

Shutting down is not permanent closure, but after the rectification is eligible, it can be reopened.

This is also a must choice.

< /p >

< p > after the fire broke out, Wenling put forward that only "vigorously demolishing" and "pformation and upgrading" is the permanent cure for Wenling's footwear industry.

Li Bin, mayor of Wenling, said 20 days that Wenling will strictly enforce the standards for resuming work of good enterprises.

Those who have greater safety risks and fail to meet the standards will not be allowed to start work; illegal buildings should not be used for production and operation; enterprises with small hidden safety risks will be allowed to make preparations for the resumption of work and accelerate the rectification.

< p > < strong > more than 6000 shoes enterprises over 80% are small workshops < /strong > < /p >

< p > footwear industry is a pillar industry in Wenling.

However, reporters saw that many shoemaking enterprises built factories in a building, stacking raw materials and finished products on the first floor, and processing upstairs.

Mr. Hu, who works in a shoe factory nearby, told reporters: "the big East shoe industry that has a fire is still a medium-sized enterprise, at least there are some fire protection equipment, and many small businesses are even worse. If there is a fire, the consequences will be even more serious."

< /p >

< p > Zhao Jianning, member of the Party committee of the Wenling Municipal Bureau of classics, said that at present, more than 80% of the more than 6000 shoe enterprises are small workshops, and there are many "three in one" places with no license for family workshops.

While these shoemaking enterprises are promoting the development of private economy, they also have problems such as vicious competition, low-end brands and hidden dangers.

< /p >

< p > Zhao Jianning said, because the threshold of shoes industry is relatively low, a few machines can be opened.

Some of the local business operators have either made big changes or quit production to make profits by leasing factories or houses.

In a large number of small workshops, foreign business owners account for the majority, and management, safety and other aspects can not keep up with others. Some of them simply do not have certificates.

< /p >

< p > Li Bin said that at present, Wenling has carried out safety improvement actions in the whole city, which has a greater impact on the long term rental of "low and small" shoemaking enterprises in illegal buildings and serious safety risks, and basically has no impact on the larger shoemaking enterprises.

< /p >

< p > Wenling city leaders expressed the hope to take this opportunity to eliminate backward production capacity and introduce high-quality industrial projects so as to enhance the overall competitiveness of the industrial chain.

< p > < strong > small businesses: shoes warehouse becomes ruins > /strong > /p >

This year, the footwear industry in Wenling is in urgent need to resume work. The government is busy promoting pformation. Migrant workers are worried about the reduction of job opportunities. P

< /p >

< p > reporter recently saw in Dongpu village of Chengbei street, the original shoe warehouse has become a huge ruin, and all the villages pass by, so the demolition site can be seen everywhere.

< /p >

"P", Mr. Cheng Yuan, the owner of Dongpu village, Chengbei street, said that his shoe business had been running for more than ten years, and he had great feelings for this industry and was also a family's industry.

"We hope that the industrial park in the village will be built as soon as possible, so that the industry can not die."

Lao Yuan said.

< /p >

< p > in the eastern village of Mu Dong village, a 16 thousand and 900 square meter shoe enterprise has been razed to the ground.

Ying Qizhi, director of the village committee, said these are illegal structures.

The block has been redesigned to build 4 standard factory buildings, and joint ventures will be implemented between the owners.

< /p >

The increase of operating costs such as rent, equipment and so on brought by "P" is a deterrent to small businesses.

A Zhao surnamed business owner said he plans to go back to his hometown and start a new business.

< /p >

< p > < strong > the government encourages workers to work in large enterprises < /strong > /p >

< p > many local large and medium-sized shoe enterprises have a supportive attitude towards pformation and upgrading.

Many shoemaking managers put forward that we should reduce manpower and increase output through updating automation equipment, hoping that the government can provide more policy and financial support.

< /p >

< p > shutting down brought about a decrease in employment.

"In the past, because of labor shortage, every year, the government should organize organizations to help shoe companies recruit workers. This year, we should advise people not to blindly come."

Zhao Jianning believes that due to a large number of illegal activities and the elimination of unlicensed enterprises, the shoemaking industry will significantly reduce the amount of employment.

For large enterprises, staff shortages may be eased.

The government also encourages workers to go to regular large enterprises to work, work more stable, more secure and more secure.

Huang Zhengzhou, a lawyer of the new Taizhou law firm, "P" > a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_p.asp" > Zhejiang < /a > believes that a small factory may be the source of life for dozens of families.

The government can not shut it down or dismantle it. It should help the enterprises to find a way out and design a path for the sustainable development of the industry.

< p > at 2:52 p.m. this January 14th, a shoe factory in Wenling City, Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, had a fire. The area burned was about 800 square meters, killing 16 people and injuring 5 people.

< /p >

< p > media reported that the causes of the fire include: the only staircase in the factory is not wide, sometimes the goods are not stacked up, it will be stacked on the corridor, and there is no fire escape channel. Many shoe factories do not pay much attention to the training of fire fighting knowledge and the use of fire apparatus, fire extinguishers are placed, staff do not master fire escaping skills, and the wires in factories are aging.

< p > Wenling shoe factory has also had many fires before. For example, in September 2011, a fire broke out at Hengfeng Xin Zhuo shoe factory, killing 7 people and injuring 5 people.
