The transition from a command economy to a capitalist market
economy has entirely altered the industrial landscape in which
Chinese trade unions have to operate. This book focuses on how the
All China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) is reforming under
current conditions and demonstrates that labour unrest is the
principal driving force behind trade union reform in China.
Presenting case studies where reform has been largely inspired by
the pressure of worker activism from below, the book examines three
crucial areas of trade union activity - collective bargaining,
labour rights and trade union direct elections - against the
background of China's turbulent industrial relations history. As
well as exploring the principal direction of trade union reform,
which has been to channel disputes into juridical forms of dispute
resolution sponsored by the State, the book also highlights key
examples of more innovative experiments in trade union work. These
represent a clear break with past practice and, crucially, have
been recognised by both the union and Party leaderships as models
for future trade union policy and practice. The book provides both
a timely reference point and highlights the road to effective trade
union solidarity.
