This article explains that every year millions of China's migrant factory workers travel home to their families. The problem is that many of the workers do not return to the factories once the holiday is over. A major cause of this is that many workers have higher expectations for pay and they look elsewhere for jobs. These labor issues are causing problems in production times and error rates. This problem in China is forcing companies to look at other countries for possible factory sites.
I picked this article because in my position at work the impact of China's New Year holiday is huge! We know we need to allot extra time for orders and developments. If we do not then orders and projects can be delayed and backed up and this makes the company I work for look bad. The accounts we deal with do not really have their eyes open to the labor issues we deal with so when orders get delayed is it 100% fully our fault. This is why it is extremely important to incorporate the China New Year holiday into our planning for the year.
