Abstract

The International Trade Union Confederation (ituc) complained about actions allegedly taken against eight individuals in Guangdong Province, People’s Republic of China, who had acted in support of workers in dispute with their employers. These actions included alleged government interference with trade union rights by police intervention in industrial disputes, arrests and detentions in relation to labor disputes, assaults against individual labor activists, and various ancillary intimidation and harassment. Of particular ituc concern were the resort to criminal proceedings and harsh sentences imposed. The Chinese government denied that any of the actions taken were related to trade union activity. The ilo Committee on Freedom of Association (cfa) asserted that six of the activists were arrested, detained, and charged for being involved in a labor dispute—which it viewed as “a serious interference with civil liberties in general and with trade union rights in particular”—and was especially concerned about what it perceived as “heavy sentences” imposed. It called on the Chinese government to complete the ongoing investigations without delay, to provide the cfa with copies of relevant court judgments when these became available, and to ensure that the individuals concerned could continue—without interference—to provide support and advice to workers seeking to exercise trade union rights. The cfa further stated that it was nonetheless encouraged by indications that local authorities had begun to facilitate dialogue between workers and companies, which had in some cases led to resolution of conflicts.
