GUCCI Is Suspected Of Abusing Employees Or Ignoring It.

Internationally renowned luxury brand GUCCI flagship store in Shenzhen is suspected of "working overtime" and "abusing employees". Many employees accuse GUCCI of violating relevant labor laws and regulations, which has aroused concern from all sectors of society.

GUCCI issued a statement on the evening of 11, said: has been replaced by the management and shop supervisor.

After investigating the labor department in Shenzhen, it was found that GUCCI's Shenzhen brand store had set up a complicated system of labor employment, and did not set up branches in Shenzhen under the name of GUCCI. Even if it was time and effort to find out its employment offense, the execution of punishment was very difficult.

GUCCI to replace Shenzhen flagship store supervisor

On the evening of 11, GUCCI issued a statement, noting that "a few of the former employees complained about the media coverage". The company has "replaced the relevant managers and shop supervisors", and is preparing to "strengthen the training of the store management team, reiterate the company's personnel management principles and continuously improve the staff welfare and working environment of all the stores".

Interview with the director of GUCCI, Huang surnamed, said in an interview 12 hours ago that the labor dispute in Shenzhen was "only a special event, and there were no similar problems in other shops throughout the country".

The employees in the labor dispute case do not agree with them.

A female employee said he had asked GUCCI to reissue the overtime payments that had been defaulted since January this year, but the other party had not been compensated. "The statement is more like a crisis public relations, by dealing with one or two managers to pfer the pressure of public opinion."

Shop registration is not in the name of GUCCI.

"This is an unprecedented case."

Wang Lijun, leader of the labor surveillance squadron of the Luohu District Bureau of human resources in Shenzhen, said that if all the labour disputes were like the "GUCCI case", "10 times the number of our cases is not enough."

On the 10 day, the Labor Department of Shenzhen went to the Shenzhen GUCCI flagship store near the Mixc to conduct an investigation.

According to Wang Lijun, when they asked about a deputy director of the Shenzhen GUCCI store, the director said they did not set up a branch in Shenzhen under the name of GUCCI. The real name of Shenzhen GUCCI flagship store is the thirteenth branch of Huarun (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.

Shenzhen Gui Yuan Industrial and commercial office confirmed that the situation described by the director is true.

Difficult punishment for sending labor elsewhere

The survey shows that GUCCI's brand store in Shenzhen has set up a complex system of labor employment.

Ma Duo, head of the legal department of the Luohu District Human Resources Bureau, said that although Shenzhen's GUCCI shop staff belonged to GUCCI management, the signing of a contract with these GUCCI employees was a business in Shenzhen Nanshan District, a South China oil outsourcing service human resources limited company.

"These employees sign labor dispatch contracts," said Ma duo.

After signing the contract, the employees were first sent to GUCCI headquarters in Shanghai, then sent back to Shenzhen for work.

Therefore, when we need to investigate and collect evidence on labour disputes occurring in Shenzhen, all investigations become a remote investigation.

This will not only take time and effort, but also bring great resistance and difficulty to the investigation and evidence collection.

Even if it is finally decided that GUCCI will be punished for its illegal activities in employment, it will also be punished differently, and the difficulty of enforcement will also increase.

It is believed that the practice of GUCCI is suspected of abusing labor dispatch.

According to the labor contract law, labor dispatching is usually implemented in temporary, auxiliary and alternative jobs.

However, many employees said that most of the GUCCI shops in Shenzhen signed a contract for at least two years. "No matter how we look at our posts, it is difficult to describe them with temporary assistance."

Follow up events: GUCCI Chinese company abuses employees are fermenting

Quality of service has been criticized.

Actually, there were countless labor disputes between China and its employees in GUCCI.

Reporters learned that, from 2009 to now, a number of shop assistants in Beijing and Shenzhen have complained to the local labor arbitration department and asked GUCCI to pay overtime fees.

In the face of the question of abusing employees, GUCCI still adopts a consistent non response strategy, does not accept interviews, and does not comment on the matter.

GUCCI China's public relations manager said that he is actively investigating this special event and will take necessary measures to deal with it as soon as possible.

Employee training is ignored

In the industry, GUCCI's labor dispute is the "sequela" left by the rapid expansion of luxury brands in the Chinese market.

In recent years, the potential of luxury consumers in China has made it impossible for any luxury brand to underestimate the pace of opening stores in the Chinese market. At the same time, the corresponding staff management and training has become a neglected part.

Ouyang Kun, China's Chief Representative Officer of the World Luxury Association, said that luxury brands had well trained staff abroad, but after the Chinese market, management and personnel training had not kept pace with them, and luxury brands were also trying to keep staff training expenses as low as possible.

According to the World Luxury Association data, human cost accounts for only 6% of the sales price of luxury goods, much lower than product cost and brand added value.
