TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Nine restaurant chains, including Pizza Hut, faced questioning by government
officials next week over plans for price hikes possibly related to recent workweek reform, the Consumer Protection Committee announced Friday.
The government promised it would crack down on companies using the changes in the workweek for employees as an excuse to push through unfair price hikes for customers.
The CPC, a unit of the Executive Yuan, said it would spend Monday and Tuesday talking to representatives of nine companies, including Pizza Hut, bakery Mr. Mark, Formosa Chang, dumpling chain 8way, beef noodle specialist Sanshang Qiaofu 3375 and Bullfight steakhouses.
The selection was the result of visits to 30 fastfood chains, drink providers, movie theaters and places of entertainment on January 4, the CPC said. The nine companies had told the CPC they had plans to raise prices in the near future. [FULL STORY]
