Discussion about labor contract law resumes

via WikipediaChina's most prestigious financial magazine Caijing reports about new trouble as the legal arm of the state council, China's highest administrative organ, will approve a more detailed edition of the new labor contract law. The law on labor rights came into force after a two-year, sometimes heated debates.
The debate goes between the only permitted trade union ACFTU and representative of the trade unions (that sounds very much like how these debates would go in Holland!):

Xie Lingmin, deputy head of ACFTU's law department, recently wrote that any labor law should help balance the unequal relationship between laborers and employers. Its goal should include promoting harmonious relations at an enterprise, which can provide a better internal environment for sustainable development of the business...
One skeptic is Huang Mengfu, chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and vice chairman of the National Committee of China People's Political Consultative Conference. Under the labor law, he said, “medium and small private enterprises with meager profits cry for cost compensation. The impact is also huge for labor-intensive enterprises which used to contribute the most to labor employment in China.”

Caijing gives a nice overview of the debate.
