More Trade Union Branches Expected
The number of trade union branches across China will reach 1 million by the end of this year, sources with the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) said.

More than 510,000 such branches were set up in newly established enterprises last year, reported Monday's China Daily.

A federation official was quoted as saying that the federation aims to set up union branches in places "wherever there are workers" to protect workers' legal rights and interests.

Wang Ying, a division official in charge of setting up branches said 36 million members would benefit from the organizations by the end of 2002, "particularly in non-state-own enterprises".

Most owners of foreign-funded companies can abide by China's laws and regulations and encourage their employees to join unions, as unions are essential to protecting the interests and rights of workers and smoothing labor-management relations.
