走向独立社团:中国工会发展之进路选择

Independence of Chinese Trade Unions

中国工会在不同的历史阶段,发挥了不同的社会作用,与同期的政府先后形成了相互对抗、相互依附的关系。在当今转型社会中,计划经济时代形成的工会组织与政府之间的依附关系,已经严重影响工会作用的发挥;而职工利益保护和公共行政改革要求重塑工会作为社会团体的独立地位,现行立法也为之提供了可能性。同时,工会组织独立性的塑造也要求其代表和维护职工的合法权益这一基本职能的进一步明确。

In different historical stages, Chinese trade unions played different roles in the society, forming a confrontational or dependent relation with the contemporary governments. In current transforming society, the dependent relation formed in the planned economy era seriously affects the function of trade unions, whereas current legislation makes it possible to rebuild the independence status for trade unions to achieve staff benefit protection and public administrative reform. Meanwhile, the independence rebuilding further makes clear the aim of trade unions, i. e. representing and protecting legal rights of the staff.
