BUKOD sa reklamong labor malpractice, sisilipin ng Kamara de Representantes ang online shopping platform na Shopee kaugnay sa umano’y hindi nito pagbabayad ng buwis at iba pang mga paglabag sa immigration laws.
Kamakailan ay inihain ni AAMBIS-OWA party-list Rep. Lex Anthony Cris Colada ang House Resolution No. 1718 para imbestigahan ang umano’y labor malpractice at mahirap na working conditions ng Shopee Express at SPX Philippines Inc.
“I’ve received information that Shopee may have violated more Philippine laws,” ani Colada na ang pinatutungkulan ay ang mga isyu na may kaugnayan sa buwis at ang umano’y panghihikayat at pag-facilitate ng illegal immigration ng kumpanya.
Bago ito, pinaimbestigahan ni Colada sa Kamara ang umano’y “poor working condition” ng mga empleyado ng
SPX Philippines Inc. o Shopee Express.
“There has been an alarming increase in the number of labor cases related to and against SPX in the past and current year, including cases that involve labor-only contracting and union busting,” ani Colada.
“There are reports that SPX has been actively preventing the unionization and organization of its workforce by claiming that these personnel are not actual employees of Shopee and SPX, as evidenced by the circumstances surrounding the petition for certification of election filed by the Association of Genuine Labor Organizations (AGLO) and SPX Philippine Employees Union (SPX-PEU-AGLO) on behalf of several concerned SPX drivers,” dagdag niya.
“The concerned SPX drivers, wishing to be unionized as SPX-PEU-AGLO, have legitimate and valid concerns for their welfare and livelihood which may only be addressed through collective bargaining efforts,” aniya pa.
