Li Xianxiang, director of the city's labor inspection department, said that in November last year, he received reports from employees that he had owed wages, and he was fined 30,000 yuan because the employer refused to be inspected. In addition, the labor relations department of the labor bureau also received an application for occupational disaster compensation. Neither party attended the mediation, so the mediation was unsuccessful. After investigation, the company still had 9 people insured in August this year, and would assist employees in applying for labor dispute mediation. In addition, the consumer protection officer has also received many complaints from the public and will also assist consumers to seek compensation; Qiu Yingzhe said that many gyms in Taoyuan District applied for renovation cases, but Zhengguang Road alone did not apply for renovation cases.

In July, the person in charge surnamed Li came forward and said that it would be reorganized. Unexpectedly, the more it owed, even the salary The person in charge, surnamed Li, was still selling tickets and memberships 3 days before the closure of the business. He was evacuating the money and absconding. Consumer Mr. Chen said that at the end of July, he bought a one-year ticket for 12,600 yuan. Swimming pool members go 2 to 3 times a week, and when they swim less than 10 times, they go to the building empty. They really want to cry without tears.
