China's migrant workers invited to join unions

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

China's migrant workers are being welcomed into the fold of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU), reported the China Daily on Friday.

The federation, which represents 130 million workers, Thursday urged grass-roots union to recruit the country's huge population of migrant workers as new members in an urgent circular released nationwide.

They should also do more to protect the legal rights of migrant laborers, the federation said.

Statistics reveal that there are currently 94 million rural people working or doing business in cities, of whom 6 million arrived this year.

Most of the farmer workers are from central and western areas, which are lagging behind coastal regions economically.

The State Council has required governments at all levels to guide and manage, instead of blocking, the flow of labor. And no discriminatory employment policies should be used against rural laborers.

However, some enterprises, especially private ones, have refused to sign contracts with laborers and have paid them less than they deserved. Some laborers have to work extra hours without pay in inferior conditions.

"The very pressing task for us is to mobilize workers in more private companies to form trade unions," said the ACFTU in the circular.
