This is a critical period for Chinese labor relations. The number of strikes are rising. The government is cracking down on labor NGOs. Lay-offs involving millions of workers have been announced. Aaron Halegua has studied Chinese labor issues for over a decade and consulted for Apple, the Ford Foundation, Asia Foundation, and the American Bar Association. He will discuss these recent trends and their implications for Chinese workers, foreign companies in China, and others.
