According to the country's Trade Union Law, trade unions are mass organizations formed by working people of their own free will and all shall represent the interests of the employees and protect the legitimate rights and interests of them.

If labor disputes occur between employers and employees, trade unions shall represent employees to negotiate with the employers, state employees' opinions and propose solution measures, the law states.

Xi also urged trade unions at all levels to play an active role in the reform, development and social stability, serve employees wholeheartedly and give them better technical and vocational training.
