Abstract:In the period of the dual transformations of China's society, the distribution of labor resources has taken on two important features: one is the acceleration of urbanization of rural population; the other is the formation of dual labor market in cities and townships. Large numbers of city-bound rural workers remain in the lower "subordinate labor market", becoming "laborers with new-type wages, and their legitimate rights and interests are subject to serious infringements." As a result, while the labor structure is becoming more and more advanced in the whole society, the base labor groups in cities and townships will see a large expansion. In order to establish harmonious and stable industrial relations, trade unions should take a long-term view of promoting the coordinated development of cities and rural areas and safeguarding the interests of laborers, and push the government to carry out relevant reforms and eliminate the policy barriers for rural workers to merge with urban society and to enjoy fair competition and equal job opportunities.
