SFCC discusses the labor contract law


prof. Liu Cheng
The Shanghai Foreign Correspondents Club organizes next week Wednesday a panel on China's draft labor contract law with professor Liu Cheng. Liu Cheng was one of the key debaters in the past few years on how the labor law should look like. He has been very outspoken in criticizing the American Chamber of Commerce for trying to water down the draft law.
He is joint by Ma Jianjun, a labor expert of the Jun He law firm in Shanghai.
From the fact that nobody from the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai is there, I assume that they have refused to participate, since I'm quite sure they have been invited. That might make the debate a bit one-sided, but you cannot force accused institutions to defend themselves.
The meeting starts at Wednesday May 30 at 7PM at the Foreign Culture Club at Jululu 889. Timely reservation is advised because of the limited seating here.
