Wal-Mart also tried three or four lines in the city to deepen layout, to relieve the intense business competition and cost pressure.
Employees call themselves "hourly workers with social security"
According to local media reports, began on July 1, Wal-Mart, Nanchang, Chengdu, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Harbin store appears as much grass-roots workers ' rights, the reason is that Wal-Mart in May 2016, operates a "comprehensive work" work.

On July 13, 2016, the company secrets (ID:high3c) came to a Wal-Mart store in Beijing, Xicheng District, comes as the after work rush, poll surge in supermarkets, can't seem to find the salary system after adjusting of emotions.
For this system, head of Wal-Mart China, 13th in company secrets (ID:high3c), said in an interview, new working arrangements will not affect the income of management mode of new hours more in line with the retail trade or movement of the work, in better service to our customers at the same time, also allows employees to achieve work-life balance to further encourage employees to earn more.

"On July 13, a Wal-Mart in Beijing four years male employee Chen Ming (not his real name).

Employee base may be too big. We have about 2.4 million employees around the world, you want the satisfaction of all employees is unlikely. Some employees work stoppages is backed by some former employees of the inciting incident, these former employees in inciting rumors. After a period of coordination, 95% employees had accepted a new labor system. Prior to lay-off employees have returned to work. "Scott price said.
Wal-Mart in China has been "subtraction"
Industry insiders said, hypermarket business is bad at the moment, any traditional retail faced Amazon, cat, Jingdong, impact, pressure increase, Wal-Mart China's "comprehensive working hours system" reform may be to reduce labor costs.
This is not a Wal-Mart in China for the first time on employee issues in dispute, starting in 2012, Wal-Mart has been in China to adjust the structure and personnel of the company, in each case are almost always accompanied by outside employment systems to Wal-Mart's challenge.
In 2012 and 2013, Wal-Mart China's purchasing department conducted two major adjustments, 29 procurement office eventually become only a purchasing Office. The purchasing department employees to other positions at the same level.
The end of 2014, China, Wal-Mart announced 250 jobs, involving 118 in the senior management. It is reported that the layoffs, including large stores and Sam's Club stores, cooperation involves the procurement, information systems, services, marketing, operations, supply chain and other departments.
Although Wal-Mart has repeatedly denied in the past years, "cuts", but it seemed to employees, Wal-Mart does appear to reduce the number of staff.
A Wal-Mart in Beijing four years temporary workers told company secrets (ID:high3c), after the implementation of the new system, his salary was 18.7 yuan per hour, immediately into the off-season, he may not come next week, much less now than before, with fewer temporary workers, is also reduced.

Wal-Mart also cut its revenue forecast for fiscal 2016-2017, expected sales this quarter to stop growing, and previous forecast for growth between 3% and 4%.
China frequency "change" to speed up three or four line layout
Industry analysts believe that the factors leading to the decline of Wal-Mart's intense competition and rising costs of manpower, leases, as well as the United Kingdom loss ASDA stores, and many other effects. For example, Wal-Mart has been Amazon's challenges in the field of electronic commerce, business sales in the fiscal fourth quarter 8% growth, slowing growth for five consecutive quarters. By contrast, Amazon's quarterly sales grew by 26%.
In 2015, McKinsey research shows that only 16% of the Chinese Internet consumers in-store shopping. Young people go to the supermarket to less and less in the Internet age, real supermarket line customer loss.
In addition, falls somewhere in between big supermarkets and convenience store "boutique supermarket" business also rise by the end of 2015, Rosen total 461 outlets in Shanghai, and family Mart convenience store of the new group, number close to 1000 stores in Shanghai. And, with the car a great deal of, one or two line growing traffic congestion in cities, is located in the business district of big-box shopping has become a painful experience.
Similar phenomena in other supermarket is also reflected, Beijing Great Wall food insider told Xinhua, the enterprise has been cooperating and large supermarkets in Beijing, but supermarket sales are much less in recent years, corporate emphasis had been placed on the cat, Tokyo, this platform and, in particular, two or three years more.
In this context, Wal-Mart announced in early June this year China changed the decision, President and CEO of Wal-Mart China, Ke Junxian will return to United Kingdom Asda as President and CEO, the decision entered into force on July 11. Current Wal-Mart Canada President and CEO Dirk Van Den Berghe on August 22 was transferred to China. Dirk also serves as Asia Regional Director post.

Prior to the executives of Wal-Mart China will usher in a new, Wal-Mart is accelerating the city layout. Wal-Mart, insiders said, at present, one or two line city industry is already saturated, with three or four lines rising purchasing power, Wal-Mart will speed up the layout of the three or four lines.

中国多个地区沃尔玛员工罢工 因标准工时改为按小时计薪|沃尔玛|罢工|小时工_新闻资讯
原标题：“突然变成小时工”，沃尔玛员工在多个城市罢工了
一场“综合工时”制度改革，让沃尔玛在中国再度陷入一场“窘境”。
从7月1日开始，沃尔玛南昌、成都、重庆、深圳、哈尔滨多地门店的基层员工出现罢工情况，原因是沃尔玛在中国区推行了一项“综合工时”制度，由原来的标准工时，更改为按小时计薪。
对于此次裁员，沃尔玛方面称，这一管理模式更加符合零售行业时紧时松的工作节奏。
近年来，沃尔玛连续在中国区进行公司结构、人事等方面的调整，而随着三年内第四任中国区总裁即将在8月份到任。沃尔玛也在尝试向三四线城市加深布局，以缓解电商带来的激烈竞争和成本压力。
员工自称“带社保的小时工”
据当地媒体报道，从7月1日开始，沃尔玛南昌、成都、重庆、深圳、哈尔滨多地门店出现基层员工维权现象，其原因是沃尔玛于2016年5月推行的一项“综合工时”工作制度。
自1996年进入中国以来，沃尔玛在中国一直采用的是标准工时制，全职工每天工作8小时，每周工作5天，每周40小时。
在今年5月改为“综合工时”制度之后，全职员工每天工作4-11小时，每周工作3-6天，每周20-66小时，每月平均标准工时为174小时、加班工时不超过36小时。
2016年7月13日，公司秘闻（ID：high3c）来到位于北京西城区的一家沃尔玛超市，正值下班后的购物高峰，超市内人头涌动，似乎看不出薪酬制度调整后员工的情绪。
对于这项制度，沃尔玛中国区负责人13日在接受公司秘闻（ID：high3c）采访时表示，新工时制不会影响收入，全新的小时化管理模式更加符合零售行业时紧时松的工作节奏，在更好地服务顾客的同时，也让员工实现了工作生活的平衡，进一步鼓励员工多劳多得。同时，这一制度是建立在员工自愿的基础之上的，如果不同意，可以继续实行原有的标准工时制。
这与沃尔玛员工对公司秘闻（ID：high3c）的描述大相径庭。
“新的薪酬制后，只开了一个月工资，比原来少了几十块钱。综合工时制最重要的是原来一周工作五天，现在按小时算，一周工作变成六天。理论上可以加班，多劳多得，但时间是固定的，无法多挣钱，是在变相减少人工数量。”7月13日，一位在北京沃尔玛工作四年的男员工陈明（化名）表示。
另一位在北京沃尔玛工作一年左右的女员工王芳（化名）表示，“现在我们都是小时工，来这就是做奉献，混个社保。”
沃尔玛员工认为，新规则可能导致工作时间安排不稳定，变相减少人工成本，而且单方面实施新工时制度让他们处于被动。
为表达对综合工时制的不满，从7月1日至5日，南昌、成都、哈尔滨等多地门店的员工停工维权，每家店有数十人参与。
沃尔玛亚洲区CEO贝思哲14日在接受媒体采访时表示“不能理解”员工的这一行为，“实在不能理解，我们的好意为何会被曲解。可能是因为员工基数太大。我们在全球有240万左右的员工，要让所有员工都满意的确不太可能。部分员工停工事件的背后是有些煽动事件的前员工，这些前员工在煽动谣言。经过一段时间的协调，已经有95%员工接受了新的人力系统。此前停工的员工基本都恢复了工作。”贝思哲称。
沃尔玛在中国连年“做减法”
业内人士表示，眼下大卖场生意不好做，任何一家传统零售都面临亚马逊、天猫、京东等电商的冲击，经营压力剧增，沃尔玛在中国推行“综合工时制”改革可能还是为了降低人力成本。
这已不是沃尔玛中国区第一次在员工问题上引发纠纷，从2012年起，沃尔玛连年在中国区进行公司结构和人事方面的调整，每次调整几乎都伴随着外界对沃尔玛用工制度的质疑。
2012年和2013年，沃尔玛对中国的采购部门进行了两次大调整，最终29个采购办公室变成只保留一个采购办公室。原采购部门的员工被分流到其他同级别岗位。
2014年底，沃尔玛宣布在中国区裁员250人，其中涉及118位中高层管理人员。据悉，此次裁员包括大卖场和山姆会员商店，涉及到采购、信息系统、合作事务、市场、运营、供应链等多个部门。
尽管沃尔玛方面在过去几年屡次否认了“裁员”的说法，但在员工看来，沃尔玛超市内工作人员的数量确实出现了减少。
一位在北京沃尔玛工作四年的临时工告诉公司秘闻（ID：high3c），在新制度实施后，他的薪酬是每小时18.7元，马上进入淡季，下周他可能就不用来了，现在员工比以前少很多，用临时工也越来越少，也在缩减。
陈明也表示，“现在整个商场买的人越来越少，专柜销售人员比之前少了2/3，刚来的时候整个部门有10个销售员，现在只有三个，一天两个人，还有一个负责替换休假的。”
2014年，沃尔玛在华新开25家门店，关闭了17家门店。安徽省和湖南省是关店最多的省份，都关闭了4家门店。
今年1月15日，沃尔玛对外宣布，将在全球范围内关闭269家店铺，其中国和美国国本土门店154家，海外市场115家。
沃尔玛在今年2月18日公布的财报显示，截至1月31日，公司2015—16财年年度营收同比下滑0.7%至4821亿美元；净利润同比下降7.2%至147亿美元。分析显示，这是沃尔玛35年以来首次出现年度营收下降。
沃尔玛同时下调了对2016—2017财年的营收预期，预计该财季销售额将基本停止增长，而之前的预测为增长3%至4%。
中国区频“换帅”，加快三四线布局
业内人士分析认为，导致沃尔玛业绩下滑的因素有电商的激烈竞争及人力、租赁成本上升，以及英国阿斯达门店亏损等多方面影响。例如，沃尔玛在电子商务领域不断受到亚马逊的挑战，电商业务在第四财季销售增幅8%，增速连续五个季度放缓。相比之下，亚马逊季度销售则增长了26%。
2015年，麦肯锡调研显示，中国互联网消费人群中仅16%在实体店购物。互联网时代的年轻人去超市次数越来越少，实体超市线下客户流失严重。
此外，介于大超市和便利店之间的“精品超市”业态也在兴起，截至2015年底，罗森在上海共有461家门店，而顶新集团旗下的全家便利店，在上海的门店数量接近1000家。并且，随着汽车大量普及，一二线城市的交通拥堵状况日趋严重，前往位于商圈的大卖场购物逐渐成为令人苦不堪言的体验。
类似的现象在其他商场超市也有体现，北京大成食品内部人士告诉记者，企业一直和北京大型超市合作，但是这几年超市销量少很多，企业重点已经放在天猫、东京这样的电商平台，特别是这两三年更加明显。
在上述背景下，今年6月初沃尔玛宣布了中国区换帅决定，沃尔玛中国总裁兼CEO柯俊贤将回到英国Asda担任总裁兼CEO，上述决定于7月11日生效。现任沃尔玛加拿大总裁兼CEO Dirk Van Den Berghe将在8月22日调任中国。Dirk也将兼任亚洲区域总裁一职。这将是三年内沃尔玛中国区迎来的第四位总裁。

在沃尔玛中国即将迎来新的高管之前，沃尔玛正在加快城市重新布局。沃尔玛内部人士表示，目前，一二线城市行业发展已经饱和，随着三四线购买力的上升，沃尔玛将加快三四线的布局。
2016年5月18日，沃尔玛在济南阳光新路的门店停业，6月15日，沃尔玛烟台海港路店和天府街店停业，这意味着沃尔玛在进入烟台十年后，将彻底撤离这个城市。
与此同时，今年沃尔玛新开店的城市多数是三、四线城市，1月，沃尔玛在内蒙古鄂尔多斯、湖北咸宁和云南宜良连开3家新店，甚至在湖北赤壁、湖南新化县等这样的四、五线城市和县级市，沃尔玛也成为当地首个进入的连锁超市。
除此之外，在电商冲击及成本上行的压力下，沃尔玛一直在积极的布局线上平台。
2015年7月，沃尔玛完成对1号店的全部收购，全资控股该公司。机构统计显示，2015年，沃尔玛中国的网络市场份额为1.6%，位居第6位，远远落后于阿里巴巴的46.9%，和京东的20.1%。
2016年6月，沃尔玛转让1号店给京东，沃尔玛将获得京东4.97%的股份。
有分析人士认为，1号店这么多年已经成为沃尔玛包袱，沃尔玛发展线上接连失利，结盟京东，标志着全渠道零售时代的到来。自身业务发展面临困境的沃尔玛希望借助京东突破物流位置的限制，通过O2O模式力挽中国市场的颓势。
