Explanation on the Regulations of Tianjin Municipality on Labor Law Supervision of Trade Unions (Draft)

—— On September 24th, 2020, at the 23rd meeting of the 17th Standing Committee of Tianjin Municipal People's Congress.

Chairman of the Social Construction Committee of Tianjin Municipal People's Congress Yan

Director, Deputy Directors, Secretary-General and members:

Entrusted by the Social Construction Committee of the Municipal People's Congress, the Tianjin Labor Law Supervision Regulations (Draft) (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations (Draft)") is hereby explained for your consideration.

First, the necessity of formulating the Regulations (Draft)

(1) The formulation of the "Regulations (Draft)" is the need to implement the overall strategy of governing the country according to law, build harmonious labor relations, and promote the modernization of grassroots social governance. Whether labor relations are harmonious or not is related to the vital interests of workers and enterprises, and to the overall situation of reform, development and stability. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made an important exposition on the work of the working class and trade unions, and put forward clear requirements for building harmonious labor relations. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee clearly proposed to improve the coordination mechanism of labor relations, build harmonious labor relations, and promote the broad masses of workers to achieve decent work and all-round development. Labor legal supervision of trade unions is an organized mass supervision of employers' compliance with labor laws and administrative regulations, and an important way for trade unions to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of employees. In recent years, with the economic and social transformation and the acceleration of the transformation of old and new kinetic energy, new formats and new models are constantly emerging, labor relations are more complicated, related subjects and their interests are more diversified, and the task of building harmonious labor relations is more arduous, which requires the joint participation and joint efforts of the government, trade unions, enterprises and workers. Trade union organizations cooperate with labor administrative law enforcement supervision to implement labor legal supervision, which is conducive to promoting the early detection and resolution of labor disputes, solving them at the grassroots level and eliminating them in the bud, and playing an active role in building harmonious labor relations, improving the business environment, promoting the modernization of social governance capacity and maintaining social stability.

(2) The formulation of the "Regulations (Draft)" is the need to implement the spirit of group reform, enhance the "three natures" of trade union organizations and realize the legalization of trade union work. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed at the Central Party's group work conference that it is necessary to effectively maintain and enhance the political, advanced and mass nature of the Party's group work and group organization. The "Opinions of the Central Committee on Strengthening and Improving the Party's Group Work" requires that group organizations should actively participate in the formulation of relevant laws, regulations and policies on behalf of the people they contact, promote the establishment and improvement of institutional mechanisms for coordinating labor relations, and protect the rights and interests of the people from the source. The implementation of labor legal supervision by trade unions is an important measure to implement the important requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping and the deployment of the CPC Central Committee, and it is an important duty entrusted to trade unions by laws and regulations such as the Trade Union Law, the Labor Law, the Labor Contract Law and the Trial Measures for Labor Legal Supervision by Trade Unions. By carrying out labor legal supervision, trade unions can promptly guide employees to protect their rights according to law, help guide enterprises to guard against labor and employment risks, and realize the synchronous development, harmony and win-win between employees and enterprises. In recent years, trade union organizations at all levels in our city and relevant government departments have accumulated some effective practices and experiences in promoting the democratic management of enterprises, making factory affairs public and coordinating the tripartite mechanism of labor relations, and made positive contributions to maintaining the overall harmony and stability of labor relations. It is necessary to further promote the legalization of trade union work through legislation.

(3) The formulation of the "Regulations (Draft)" is the need to ensure and standardize the supervision of labor laws by trade unions and more effectively implement labor laws and regulations. For a long time, trade unions in our city have carried out labor legal supervision, and there are some problems, such as the imperfect organization system of labor legal supervision, unclear responsibilities of the main body of supervision, difficult implementation of supervision measures, and inconspicuous supervision effect, which have affected the labor legal supervision function of trade unions and failed to meet the expectations and needs of the broad masses of workers and staff. Therefore, it is urgent to formulate a local law that conforms to the current situation of labor relations and trade union reform in our city and reflects the characteristics of the times, and further clarify the working mechanism and principles, supervision institutions and responsibilities, supervision implementation and methods, as well as related safeguard measures and legal responsibilities, so as to provide legal protection for trade union organizations at all levels to carry out labor legal supervision.

Second, the drafting process of the regulations (draft)

Starting from 20 14, our city started the relevant legislative work of the "Regulations (Draft)". 20 15 to 20 17 were listed as the legislative research projects of the standing Committee of the municipal people's congress for three consecutive years, and 20 18 and 20 19 were listed as the legislative preparatory projects of the standing Committee of the municipal people's congress. The Municipal Federation of Trade Unions organized a special class and did a lot of preliminary work, which laid the foundation for its inclusion in the legislative deliberation project of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress this year.

In the process of drafting laws and regulations, the Municipal People's Congress Internal Committee, the Law Committee and the Social Work Committee took the initiative to intervene, and together with the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions and some experts and scholars, formed a drafting group to go to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Hebei and other provinces for investigation and study to learn from legislative experience and practices. At the same time, opinions and suggestions from relevant government departments, trade union organizations, enterprises, experts, scholars and workers' representatives were widely listened to by holding symposiums, visiting enterprises on the spot and distributing questionnaires, and the draft bill was revised and improved seven times.

In mid-June this year, the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions extensively solicited opinions and suggestions from enterprises, trade union responsible comrades and employee representatives for 204 enterprises in the whole city 16 area. A total of 86 amendments were collected and 63 were adopted, involving 29 clauses. In addition, we have fully listened to the opinions of the municipal people's society, the judiciary, emergency management, health and wellness, the Federation of Industry and Commerce, and the Federation of Enterprises. In late July, the drafting group of the regulations conducted a detailed study and demonstration of the bill again in combination with investigation and soliciting opinions.

Comrade Yang Fugang, deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress, attached great importance to the drafting of laws and regulations, listened to the drafting reports many times and put forward clear requirements. Since August, he has led the team to carry out relevant research work many times, organized symposiums for representatives of the Municipal People's Congress and experts and scholars, solicited opinions extensively, and led the Social Committee of the Municipal People's Congress and the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions to study and revise the bills one by one. On this basis, the Municipal People's Congress Social Work Committee
