BEIJING, Aug. 27 - China's top legislature on Sunday started to read the draft law on labor¹ dispute mediation² and arbitration³ amid an increasing number of labor disputes that emerged in the country.

The draft law was submitted Sunday to the seven-day 29th session of the Standing⁴ Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), or China's top legislature, for the first reading.

According to NPC statistics, labor dispute cases in China are continuously increasing in recent years. Statistics show that labor dispute arbitration organizations at various levels dealt with 1.72 million labor dispute cases involving 5.32 million employees from 1987 to the end of 2005, with a growth rate of 27.3percent annually⁵.

Xin Chunying, vice⁶ Chairman of the Legislative⁷ Affairs Commission of the NPC Standing Committee said on the legislative session that excepting the increasing number of labor disputes, other problems also exist. For instance, the personnel in arbitration organizations are not professional and thus lack credibility and the process of arbitrating labor disputes is long, making the cost of arbitration high.

China resumed the labor dispute arbitration system in 1987 and formed the procedures for coping with labor disputes as "mediation, arbitration and trial" after the regulation on handling corporate⁸ labor dispute and Labor Law were promulgated⁹ in 1993 and 1994.

The procedure and practice for dealing¹⁰ with labor disputes have been widely accepted by the public, said Xin.

The draft bill is for strengthening mediation and improving arbitration so as to help fairly solve labor disputes without going to court and thus safeguard employee's legitimate¹¹ rights and promote social harmony, she said.

The draft bill said corporate itself is entitled to establish labor mediation committee to solve the labor disputes occurred in its own corporate so as to solve disputes at grassroots level. The corporate labor mediation committee should consist of employees and representatives of managerial level.

When labor disputes occur, litigants¹² can turn to the corporate mediation committee, or grassroots people's labor disputes mediation organization, the draft bill said.

The draft bill said labor disputes concerning pay, medical fee of job-related injuries, compensation, pension whose relevant sum do not exceed 12 months of local minimum monthly wages could be solved by arbitration. The arbitration documents have legal effects upon being handed out.

Labor disputes on working time, holidays, social insurance and collective contracts could also be solved by arbitration with legal effects, said the draft bill.
