At the current stage, a series of new changes have emerged in the labor relations in China and some new issues are generated, presenting some new characteristics. In our country where labor relations have taken fundamental changes, it has become a common view in the eyes of all parties to establish a tripartite consultation mechanism constituted by the government, the trade union and employer organization, to resolve significant problems in labor relations through consultation and dialogue and so as to straighten out the labor-capital relationship and facilitate harmonious social development and progress. Under the powerful propelling of the government, construction of the tripartite consultation mechanism in the country has made large progress. Nevertheless, considering the actual effect, the effect of the tripartite consultation system has still not yet been fully played and a large majority of collective bargaining becomes a mere formality.
