Research On Collective Agreement System In China

From the origin of collective agreement and its historical development in western countries, we can see the importance of its status in social lives and the reasons why it has developed into a basic system in the western world. In China, the system of collective agreement has developed for many decades, but not yet achieved a satisfying effect. The situation is caused by some factors such as our country's trade union policy, collective bargaining system, stipulations of collective agreement itself, workers' right to strike and the function of the government. Since China has accessed to WTO, it is imperative that we perfect our collective agreement system.This thesis tries to analyze the factors which influence the system of collective agreement, expecting to perfect the system step by step and to protect the labor's rights and interests practically and effectively. We can take such measures as follows: to establish the mechanism to safeguard the trade union's independence, to expand the scope of the subjects in collective bargaining, to acknowledge the prevailing and continuing effect of collective agreements, to define the unilateral liability of collective agreements, to stipulate workers' rights to strike in laws and to initiate the positive role of the government.
