As the "world's factory" China exerts an enormous pressure on
workers around the world. Many nations have had to adjust to a new
global political and economic reality, and so has China. Its
workers and its official trade union federation have had to contend
with rapid changes in industrial relations. Anita Chan argues that
Chinese labor is too often viewed from a prism of exceptionalism
and too rarely examined comparatively, even though valuable
insights can be derived by analyzing China's workforce and labor
relations side by side with the systems of other nations.The
contributors to Chinese Workers in Comparative Perspective compare
labor issues in China with those in the United States, Australia,
Japan, India, Pakistan, Germany, Russia, Vietnam, and Taiwan. They
also draw contrasts among different types of workplaces within
China. The chapters address labor regimes and standards, describe
efforts to reshape industrial relations to improve the
circumstances of workers, and compare historical and structural
developments in China and other industrial relations systems.
