Harold Meyerson's April 4 op-ed, "In Fear of Chinese Democracy," unfortunately perpetuated Global Labor Strategies' misrepresentation of our position on China's proposed labor contract law and the role of U.S. companies in improving labor practices in China. The U.S.-China Business Council supports a fair and balanced labor contract law in China and submitted comments in that spirit... U.S. companies have a strong track record of signing contracts with employees and bringing to China their global work rules and environmental, health and safety practices -- which usually far exceed local rules and standards.
