"China Labor Watch (CLW) is devoted to improving Chinese workers' working and living conditions, defending their rights, upholding international labor and human rights standards, and preparing for the future of independent labor union organizations that are truly representational of the workers they represent."

From the site: "The contradictions in China's economy are sharpening as the lethal combination of the legacy from the command economy and market-reforms leaves millions of workers destitute and angry.
"Yet freedom of association, the most fundamental right of the working class, is still denied.
"China Labour Bulletin, set up in 1994, seeks to promote independent trade unionism and provide information on the activities of the official All-China Federation of Trade Unions, as well as attempts by workers to organise outside it."
