重烧镁砂企业靠廉价劳力之路将越走越窄

重烧镁砂企业完善企业社会责任体系，多在提高产品附加值和质量上下功夫，而不是单纯凭借低廉的劳动力以低成本取胜。

对于“血汗工厂”的称呼，很多的中国企业并不认同，甚至有时会称为贸易壁垒的阴谋。诚然，中国商品确实遇到不公正的对待，但是不假思索地都统称为壁垒，那绝对是言过其实。“血汗工厂”并非中国独有，遭遇国际社会抵制的，也并非仅是中国的“血汗工厂”。

“血汗工厂”的出现原因是复杂的。

廉价劳动力一直是中国的优势，但是劳动密集型产业并不等同于产业价值链的最低端。其实看看被称为“血汗工厂”的中国少数企业，赖以生存的支柱就是跨国公司的订单。跨国公司肯定要求用低价的产品来保证自己的利润，在跨国公司低价采购的压力下“逼迫员工超时工作”、“降低职工应有福利”的，成为一些企业主保证自身收益的重要手段。

玩具业便是一个例子。虽然国际玩具制造业协会明年推行的社会责任商业守则纯属自愿性质，但国际巨头的参与使得自愿变成了强制。生产企业不遵守就拿不到订单，但是遵守规则就意味着原本微薄的利润变得更加微不足道，一些企业已经惊呼“灭顶之灾”。在媒体的报道中，我们可以看到玩具厂商的利润来源就是加工费，工人的待遇和企业的利润成了两难选择。在这种情况下，增加工人待遇不再是一个简单的道德问题，而是一个产业问题。

和玩具业一样，中国的生产企业很多时候都是跨国公司的“打工仔”，处于附加值较低的产业价值链低端。被视为“血汗工厂”，被要求承担社会责任，这给中国的劳动密集型企业提了一个醒：赚取加工费的赢利模式已经难以为继了。

社会责任已经是一个全球性的标准，中国企业该好好补一补课了。比如我们常说的社会道德责任标准，不少中国企业总认为这是西方世界强加给中国的东西。实际上，这个简称为SA8000的东西只是一个民间认证，是广泛的国际认可使得这个民间规则变成世界性.

Reburned magnesite enterprises will be narrower and cheaper by relying on cheap labor

Re-burned magnesite enterprises improve their corporate social responsibility system and work hard to improve the added value and quality of their products, rather than relying on low-cost labor to win at a low cost.

Many Chinese companies do not agree with the term "sweatshop", and sometimes they even call it a conspiracy to trade barriers. It is true that Chinese products have encountered unfair treatment, but they are collectively referred to as barriers without hesitation, which is definitely an exaggeration. The "sweatshop" is not unique to China. It is not only China's "sweatshop" because of resistance from the international community.

The cause of the "sweatshop" is complicated.

Cheap labor has always been China's advantage, but labor-intensive industries are not the same as the lowest end of the industrial value chain. In fact, looking at a few Chinese companies known as "sweatshops", the backbone of survival is orders from multinational companies. Multinational companies definitely require low-cost products to ensure their own profits. Under the pressure of multinational companies 'low-cost procurement, "forcing employees to work overtime" and "reducing employees' due benefits" have become important means for some business owners to ensure their own profits .

The toy industry is an example. Although the Social Responsibility Business Code to be implemented by the International Toy Manufacturing Association next year is purely voluntary, the participation of international giants has made voluntary become mandatory. Production companies can't get orders if they don't comply, but complying with the rules means that the meager profits have become even more insignificant, and some companies have exclaimed "the disaster." In media reports, we can see that the source of profit for toy manufacturers is processing fees. The treatment of workers and the profits of the company have become a dilemma. In this case, increasing workers' treatment is no longer a simple moral issue, but an industrial issue.

Like the toy industry, Chinese production companies are often "wage earners" of multinational companies and are at the low end of the industrial value chain with low added value. Being regarded as a "sweatshop" and being asked to take on social responsibility, this reminded labor-intensive enterprises in China that the profit model of earning processing fees is no longer sustainable.

Social responsibility is already a global standard, and Chinese companies should make up for it. For example, we often talk about the standard of social moral responsibility. Many Chinese companies always think that this is something imposed on China by the western world. In fact, this thing referred to as SA8000 is just a folk certification, and it is the widespread international recognition that makes this folk rule universal.
