According to article 2 of the Trade Union Law of the People’s Republic of China…“[t]rade unions are mass organisations formed by the working classes of their own free will. The All-China Federation of Trade Unions…shall represent the interests of the employees...” One of the main questions arising from this legal definition is whether the ACFTU represents and protects the interests of its members…As became clear during the Honda strike, the leaders of the trade union were working for the employer...The ACFTU is not deaf to the rising voices of workers and has initiated various activities to demonstrate a more active approach to representing and protecting workers…There is still a long way to go, but maybe we’re starting to see the ACFTU take a more active role in protecting workers’ rights.
