Carrefour in hot water on labor contracts

According to local media, Carrefour China has asked about 40,000 employees to resign its labor contract with a fixed term of two years, days before the new labor law comes into force, writes China CSR.

Though leaders of Carrefour China say the company's behavior has nothing to do with the upcoming Labor Contract Law, local media report the company is trying to seize the last opportunity to sign a fixed-term contract with its employees before signing a non-fixed one with them. Carrefour's behavior will not only cause dissatisfaction among the employees and decrease their trust in the company, but also affect the company's normal operations.
