US Corporations and Chinese Labor Standards
During my second year in China, while working for Yale Law School's China Law Center, I was intensively researching labor issues in China. The National People's Congress is currently in the process of revamping the legal structure of the labor system by replacing the 1994 Labor Law with three new laws in the next couple of years. The first of these laws is the Labor Contract Law, which seeks to set new standards for defining labor relationships. The release of a draft version of this law stimulated a great deal of comments and controversy, including criticism of US corporations that called for modifying the draft law.
I have recently published an analysis of labor in China, the new law and the controversy surrounding it (link below). Please check out some of the other articles on this relatively new website, which offers progressive views on a variety of public policy topics!
