The Developing Role of Unions in China's Foreign‐Invested Enterprises
基于珠三角外资企业案例，评估中国工会的发展，发现雇主难以抵制工会建立但常试图收编工会，管理策略受母国政策、海外客户期望、意识形态及上级工会和国家压力影响。
Abstract This article evaluates the development of Chinese enterprise unions, drawing on case‐study evidence from foreign‐invested enterprises in the Pearl River Delta. Findings suggest that it was difficult for such employers to resist the establishment of an enterprise union. However, they generally sought to co‐opt the union to meet organizational needs. Management strategy was critical in shaping the union's role, and our evidence suggests that this was influenced by factors such as home‐country policies, the expectations of overseas customers, management ideology and pressures from the ACFTU and the Party‐State to comply with the requirement for a union. The implications for the role of unions are evaluated.
