Yesterday, the entry # Wa was sued by a number of former employees and attracted attention from all walks of life.

According to media reports, a number of former and internal employees of Wa Group said that since August they have been asked to terminate their contracts with Wa Group and instead sign labor contracts with Hongsheng Beverage Group, which is controlled by Zong Fuli. After resigning the labor contract, the "dry share dividend" treatment enjoyed by employees in Wa Group has been completely cancelled. At present, dozens of employees have initiated a class action to protect their rights and have entered the judicial process, waiting for the court to formally accept it.

In addition, the report pointed out that Hangzhou Xiaoshan Shunfa Food Packaging Co., Ltd. had a recent equity change, and the joint committee of grass-roots trade unions of Hangzhou Wa Group Co., Ltd. was transferred to Zong Fuli at a price of zero yuan. Employees questioned the equity transfer decision and the transfer price, believing that the situation would affect the immediate investment income of Wa Group employees.

Since founder Zong Qinghou died and Zong Fuli took over this year, the established Wa company has been in the midst of public opinion. Some time ago, there were rumors that "Zong Fuli resigned and was no longer involved in the operation and management of Wa", which stirred up thousands of waves, and people from all walks of life talked about it and speculated whether there was infighting in the group. After the event, Wa issued a statement saying that Zong Fuli would continue to perform the relevant management duties of the group.

On August 31, according to Tianyan inspection, industrial and commercial changes took place in Hangzhou Wa Group Co., Ltd., with Zong Fuli serving as Wa's legal representative, chairman and general manager. The dust of the previous dispute settled, and the new leader of the group took over and began to carry out drastic reforms.

However, the current "a number of former employees sue Wa" makes people from all walks of life can not help but question the internal management of the group. In response to the matter, Wa issued a statement yesterday afternoon, saying that some media reports were seriously inaccurate, causing great damage to the reputation of the Trade Union Federation Committee of Hangzhou Wa Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "the trade union").

Wa said that the trade union had never heard of the relevant information about the Wa Human Rights Committee, and that the union had not received any information about the lawsuit filed by the so-called Wa Human Rights Committee.

According to the understanding of the trade union, the repurchase of shares within the employee shareholding association of Hangzhou Wa Group Co., Ltd. has been approved by a resolution of the members' Congress, and the relevant agreement has been voluntarily signed by the shareholding members, which is legal and effective, and there is no harm to the sobriety of the shareholding members.

According to the report that Xiaoshan Shunfa equity transfer problem, according to the trade union understanding, is a normal shareholder change, equity transfer is legal and effective, in line with relevant laws and regulations, and verified by the industry and commerce department, there is no outside speculation about special reasons. Wa said that at present, the management and work order of the trade union is normal.

It is worth mentioning that the key details such as "requiring Wa employees to re-sign contracts with Hongsheng Group" and "Xiaoshan Shunfa equity transfer price of zero yuan" are not mentioned in the statement.
