The world's retail giant Wal-Mart has established 19 trade unions in its
Chinese outlets since late July, disclosed an official of the All-China
Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) on Friday.
"The negotiations between Wal-Mart and the ACFTU have proved fruitful. The
two sides have agreed to set up trade unions in Wal-Mart Chinese outlets on a
cooperative and harmonious basis and in line with Chinese laws," an ACFTU
official said Friday in an interview with Xinhua. The two sides agreed that the
candidates for trade union posts in a Wal-Mart Chinese outlet should be approved
by a higher-level trade union after work staff's nomination.
