Labour Laws in Myanmar

2014-05-01

Issue 83, May 2014

Since 2011, Myanmar has been one of the main countries to draw international attention.  Before that  year,  international  news  coverage  on  the country  was  mostly  related  to oppression and  political turmoil caused  by  military  dictatorship. However,  after  2011, the reasons were quite different. Several political and legal reforms brought by the civilian-led government, although backed by the military group, have made a drastic shift of international climate towards the country.

Thailand: Labour and the Law

2003-04-01
Earl V Brown Jr
 
Introduction
 
The Thais have risen twice in recent memory against military dictatorships, in 1973 and 1992. The labour movement was at the centre of both uprisings, and has been integrally involved in the movement to democratise Thailand. However, the movement has failed to translate this prominence into union density and collective bargaining gains. It has scant influence on wage levels and wage patterns in the burgeoning economy.

Reflections on Labour Law in China

2003-04-01
John Chen
 
Law is not a neutral instrument of governance. I hold this to be true in a society with strong democratic institutions or in an authoritarian regime. Furthermore, the statutory rights of working people are not bestowed on us through benevolence or even in the name of good governance. They are won via collective action on our part and a fear of wider social unrest on the part of our rulers.
