The emergence of China as an economic superpower

ACFTU is the All-China Federation of Trade Unions - established by the ruling Communist party. It boasts of 150 million members.

The ACFTU is pressuring Wal-Mart to establish a union....which doesn't make sense to me. Shouldn't it be the workers who are pushing for a union?

Shouldn't ACFTU be hanging around the back doors of the 60 Wal-Marts in China and asking, "Are you guys happy?"

ACFTU thinks ALL foreign-funded or transnational companies should unionise.

I think all groups of employees who feel they are mistreated as a whole should come together to voice their opinion and form a union as an absolute last resort.

Wal-Mart plans to hire an extra 150,000 people in China over the next 5 years. Easy math = almost 100 hires EACH DAY!

Yep, seems to me people should be forming groups already and start crying 'foul!'

I hate unions. And I can't imagine them being of any more worth in China, either.

What do you think?
