Capital Mobility and Workers in Asia: Case Studies on Japan, China, Philippines and Thailand

2011-10-04

The book provides an analysis that capital mobility has become major and underlying factor of the precarity of workers in Asia. The chapters - case studies on Japan, China, Philippines and Thailand - illustrate that workers’ collective bargaining power has declined which can be seen in the intensification of irregularisation, union busting actions, company closures, and massive dismissal of workers reported across the region. In many cases, this condition has resulted in the weakening of militancy of workers in countries that used to be dynamic actors in the labour rights movement.

Report on The international workshop on “Changing Labour Regulations in China: Practice and Challenges” 2011

2011-01-07

Since 2008 the Labour Contract Law has been implemented by the Chinese government to strengthen workers’ rights and regulate the increasingly unstable labour relations in the country. However, this initiative did not help forestall a new slew of strikes while China is on its path of economic recovery from the global recession.  Consequently, the Chinese government has recently been compelled to come up with new attempt to pacify the disgruntled workers by trying to strengthen the workplace collective bargaining mechanism.
