Labor Disputes In Shoe Factories Have Risen To &Nbsp; Employees Have Demanded "N+1" Compensation.

Hebi's business is built in a factory area and can be reduced.

"Last Friday, the factory was operating normally, and the relocation was progressively carried out without strikes."

In December 11th, a member of Hebi international, who did not want to be named, said the so-called strike was over.

However, it was reported that the strike did not end. "A few days ago, about 200 strikers gathered together and asked the relevant departments to uphold justice."

Based on this information, we continued to verify with Hebi international for several days, but the relevant people never responded to the "timing".

Song Songxing, a professor at the Business School of Nanjing University, argues that the labor dispute reflected by the Hebi strike reflects China's world.

Employees demand "N+1" compensation.

Employees involved in the protest said that at the end of October, the company suddenly posted a notice of relocation, saying that the factory would move to 79 Jinwen Road, Nanhui, Shanghai.

In the next second days, the company issued the "consent to move" and the resignation letter to the employees, limiting the staff to make a choice in ten working days.

"We are caught off guard."

One employee said.

Therefore, workers who are unwilling to relocate claim compensation.

In interviews, they found their demands focused on obtaining "N+1" compensation.

The so-called "N+1" compensation, that is, according to the relevant laws, layoffs need to be calculated according to the length of work of the employees in the enterprise, compensation for one month per work for one month, less than one year by one year.

"It was mainly affected by the previous" strike "incident.

Those who do not want to be named said.

This person said that in July this year, a branch of Hebi's Jinhai Road in Shanghai was also "suddenly decided to move the production line to Suzhou". When employees found work at work, they found that the workshop was empty. Then the two sides held up for 9 days. Finally, the company made compensation according to the labor law.

The person recalled that the staff had lost more than 100 thousand yuan.

But Hebi did not agree with the "N+1" compensation plan, because the relocation is part of the relocation of the city.

According to the people's daily report, Hebi decided to extend the coverage of the shuttle bus to all employees, and half an hour on the way to work as a working time of 1 hours, most of the staff recognized that the re production and relocation activities were also orderly.

Yao Xiaodong, chairman of Hebi international, also told the media that "the dispute is basically solved, and the above plan is the final solution."

Earlier, Hebi officials also vowed that the strike had ended and the relocation was in progress. "In short, no information about compensation has been heard."

Enterprises should not pay.

Has the dispute really been solved? The media recently said that 200 employees still asked the government to uphold justice.

According to another source, the unified caliber adopted by the Shanghai court and human resources department for the labor arbitration procedure triggered by the overall relocation of enterprises is: "as long as the enterprises move in the whole area in the city, the workers should cooperate with the relocation to the new site, so the enterprises can not terminate the labor contract and do not have to pay the economic compensation for cancelling the contract."

But Zhang Malin, a lawyer at Southeast University School of law, reads, "with the promotion of urbanization, the same city is not the focus.

Moreover, the labor contract law also stipulates that "major changes in the objective situation result in the failure of the original labor contract to be fulfilled. If the parties concerned negotiate, they can not reach an agreement on changing the contract."

He also believes that the relocation resulted in a discrepancy in the working hours when signing contracts with employees.

In fact, the people's website once quoted the coordination group as saying that Hebi's specific plan in the relocation was "not well done" and "lacked communication with employees".

Labor disputes rise

Song Songxing believes that labor disputes in Hebi international show that labor costs have become the most sensitive nerve in manufacturing enterprises.

"Labor costs rise, employees demand salary increases, and enterprises need to reduce expenditure. Once they are not handled well, there will be labor disputes."

A few days ago, it was reported that there was a downtime storm in Shenzhen's mass storage equipment Co., Ltd., which was produced by Japan's Hitachi group's hard disk magnetic head. In November 17th, more than 2000 workers in Dongguan's Baocheng group's shoe factory stopped working together.

"With the economic growth, the rising cost of labor has become an inevitable trend, and at the same time, forcing enterprises to move or pform."

Song Songxing said.

Taking Hebi as an example, the director of investment promotion in Nanhui Zhu Qiao Airport Industrial Zone once told the media that "Hebi's business is built in a factory area, which can reduce the management cost."

In addition, Zhu Qiao District has been relocated frequently in recent years, and a large number of rural residents have been converted into urban hukou, which provides a relatively cheap labor source for Hebi.

Some analysts believe that similar labor disputes may endanger the status of Chinese factories in the world.

But Song Songxing believes that at least 5 years from now, China will still maintain the status of the shoe factory in the world.
