ILO conventions are intended to guide all countries in the promotion of workplace safety and in managing occupational health and safety programs. The new Labour Law of the People's Republic of China, promulgated on 5 July 1994 and effective from 1 January 1995, contained no specific guarantee of the right to strike or the right of workers to form and join the trade union of their own choosing and without previous authorization, as ILO Convention No. As it is difficult to discern any common practice it may be of interest to note that ILO Convention No. |
