Strike background

Dongguan Yuyuan Shoe Factory, the factory involved, is the largest shoe factory in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, and belongs to Taiwan Province Baocheng Group. It is the largest production base of many world-renowned sports shoes such as Adidas and Nike, and works for more than 30 well-known brand shoe enterprises around the world.

An employee of Yuyuan Shoes Factory said in an interview with the media on June 5438+05 that the shutdown was because Yuyuan Shoes Factory did not fully purchase social security for workers.

The social security contribution rate stipulates that enterprises pay 1 1% of the total income of employees, and employees bear 8%. He recently checked his social insurance. However, some workers took time off to go to the Social Security Bureau to inquire about their social security payment, and found that the amount of social security paid by Yuyuan Shoes Factory was insufficient, and the payment standard was very confusing. Some employees also found that the shoe factory signed an invalid labor contract with them.
