What will happen if Foxconn stops production for a week in Chengdu, Sichuan?

Foxconn has branches all over the country. A Foxconn in Chengdu stopped production for a week because of the power cut policy, which has a great impact on mobile phone production and may even lead to a sharp drop in the monthly income of local workers. This time, Bian Xiao felt that due to the hot weather, the relevant power supply policies issued by various departments were actually aimed at ensuring residents' electricity consumption. Although the shutdown of the factory may lead to some losses, it is not too big for people's livelihood.

The most obvious change brought by the power outage in the factory is the sharp drop in the number of products produced, especially the research and development and production of new products. Once the power goes out, the supply will be insufficient. In fact, especially in the autumn of 2022, the brand will release new products. If there is a power outage for a week, the output will even be reduced by tens of thousands, which is a great loss for factories and brands.

In addition, the impact of factory shutdown on workers is also very obvious, because many people go out to work to earn money to subsidize their families, and the construction of Foxconn factory in Chengdu also allows local residents to earn a lot of money at home without going far away, which also solves the local employment problem. However, if the factory is shut down and the workers take a week off, the wages lost by the workers in this week may be between 1000 yuan. Moreover, the children will start school in September, and the tuition and living expenses required are not small expenses. The decrease in income at this stage will increase the burden on these families.

Although there are many losses caused by the factory's shutdown, we also need to start from the perspective of workers, no matter how big the mobile phone output of this brand is. As long as the factory stops working, it will also have a great impact on the workers in the factory. Therefore, when necessary, the local government needs to encourage these factories to seek more ways out in reproduction and manufacturing to ensure that the power supply will not be affected and the work of these workers and factories will not be disturbed.
