This law affects all companies in the country, regardless of size. It will be effective in July 1st 2024, and there are 3 key points are:

  1. There is a new organ present in each company called the Employee Assembly. This organ is for employees to exercise their power of democratic governance of the company. There are two types, one is an assembly for all employees or an assembly for employee representatives. In general, companies with more than 100 employees will have an assembly for employee representatives, while less than 100 will have an assembly for all employees. The number of employee representatives must not be less than 5% of the total number of employees and also not be less than 30, while the number of managers and executives must not be greater than 20% the number of representatives. The trade union acts as the executive organ of the Employee Assembly.
  2. The Employee Assembly has access to basically all the information a company stores, which can be used to affect the worker benefits of employees. It also seeks to make sure the company is always following the labor laws present at the local and national level. When a company considers dissolution or applying for bankruptcy, it is required to listen to the opinions of its trade union and employees through the Employee Assembly or by other forms.
  3. All companies with at least 300 employees must have employee representatives at the board of directors, unless it already has a board of supervisors with employee supervisors elected by the Employee Assembly in it.

    China will probably very authoritarianly only allow the unions to do things that advance working class interests. Of course, the CCP will be the arbiter of what's good for the working class and completely shut out the CIA. What a farce.

          Indeed. I saw Lech Walesa speak once. He was a guest at my college. I didn't think the CIA was supposed to do psyops in the US.

          That being said, I wouldn't mind being back in an AFL CIA affiliated union shop.

            Q&A at the end? "Excuse me, what is your opinion of labour internationalism, and the idea that an auto mechanic in the US and an auto-mechanic in Morocco have similar interests?"

    I actually read a bit of the update on xinhua in Chinese. This amendment to the 公司法 also seems to include increased financial and legal responsibilities on upper management like ceos and shareholders. For example they're now even more liable in instances of fraud or mismanagement. Overall some pretty good changes that probably come off the back of the issues we saw with many of the big construction companies and so on.

    Edit: https://www.zhonglun.com/research/articles/52526.html Here's a chinese language article I found that seems to summarize alot of the main changes. Translation software seems to do pretty well as well if you're curious about all the amendments that were made

      MFW managers are so unnecessary, so much of a drain on society they need the threat of the law to actually attempt to do their job somewhat decently.

      In gommunist china, honest businessmen get their life's work stolen by authoritarian unions backed by the fascist regime, anyone who disagrees with the union is shot in the head and then forced to carry rocks
