No, really, it's a very similar thing. There are also fake unions in the United States in the cannabis industry. Pretty grim situation.

- Retric 2y agoI can see why you might think they are similar on the surface. However those are paperwork exercises without any leverage that run into legal issues inside the US. “Anyone who signed a labor peace agreement with ProTech Local 33 has 90 days from the ruling to sign a new pact with a legitimate union or risk losing their license” The Chinese version is stable as they are being actively propped up by the state.

The Lack of Genuine Worker Representation The All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) is China's only legal trade union, and it is required by the Trade Union Law to "uphold the leadership of the Communist Party." Because one of the ACFTU's priorities is to organize and mobilize "vast numbers of workers to make contributions to the sound and rapid development of the economy," and to foster "harmony in labour relations" so that such development may take place, the vast majority of "trade unions" in enterprises effectively remain under the de facto control of management. https://www.cecc.gov/publications/commission-analysis/recent-worker-actions-in-china https://www.cecc.gov/publications/commission-analysis/recent... The All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) is still the only legally recognized trade union.
