Shenzhen flagship store, Italy's luxury brand GUCCI, was recently accused of abusing employees with harsh regulations and even leading to the abortion of pregnant women. This is not the first time such a brand known as "fashion" and "luxury" has been so criticized.


Former employees said GUCCI Shenzhen flagship store had caused abortion.


October 8th reported that in September of this year, 5 had been in Shenzhen.

The departing employee posted an open letter to Gucci's top management of Gucci employees who resigned on the Internet.

In the letter, they expressed their accusations against the GUCCI flagship store in Shenzhen.


According to the report, the staff said that the GUCCI company had more than 100 regulations on the behavior of the employees when they went to work in the store, many regulations strictly restricted the physiological needs of the employees, and even had to apply to the higher authorities for drinking water. The toilet must also be licensed, and the time for the toilet was strictly limited to 5 minutes.

A resignation worker said that during pregnancy, she worked normally and had to stand for more than ten hours a day, and the company executives were not allowed to eat in the shop to supplement their nutrition.

The employee revealed that a pregnant colleague was aborted.

In a report, a GUCCI flagship store manager who asked not to be named said that the contents of the open letter were true, and even that some cases were more serious than those in the open letter.

In the GUCCI flagship store, there are more than one case of miscarriage.


In addition, some employees said that once the shop appeared

In the event of loss, all employees are required to compensate for the loss and the average cost of the original goods will be borne according to the original price of the goods.

The employee said that the company's products were bought insurance, the company can get insurance compensation on the one hand, on the other hand, the staff equally apportion, collectively buckle the money supply company.


Under the GUCCI, "password" is alleged to infringe on consumers' right to know.


It is reported that after the "sweatshop" incident was exposed, GUCCI sent an email to the staff to answer the media customers' unannounced visits, providing some simple standard answers for the staff to answer the questions of the media customers. Most of the answers were "this question belongs to the company's internal information, and it is not easy to answer, please understand".


According to a GUCCI flagship store manager, the company's main requirement is to prevent media reporters from speaking at their workers' work. At the same time, in order to prevent customers from coming to inquire about goods disputes, they can prevent employees from being stolen to record videos that are not conducive to the company.

The resignation employee's attorney said that the mailing staff refused to ask any questions from customers or the media with the company's internal information, and also included questions about quality, which obviously had the suspicion of violating the right of consumers to know.


GUCCI has repeatedly been accused of sweating factory luxury brands repeatedly exploiting Chinese employees.


This is not the first time GUCCI has been described as a sweatshop.

As early as February 2008, the Losangeles Times reported that several of them included GUCCI.
