The official promulgation of the Labor Law of the People's Republic of China has been ten years. As the first law since the founding of New China to confirm and protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers, comprehensively regulate and adjust labor relations, it has played an increasingly important role over the past decade in establishing harmonious and stable labor relations, safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of workers, regulating the labor system's transition from a planned economy system to a socialist market economy system, promoting China's labor legal system construction process, and promoting economic development and maintaining social stability.
The promulgation of the Labor Law in 1994 marked a new stage in the construction of China's labor legal system. On the basis of the Labor Law, China has also promulgated the Labor Safety Law, the Occupational Disease Prevention Law, and the Vocational Education Law. The Labor Contract Law and the Social Insurance Law have also been included in the legislative agenda of the National People's Congress. In addition, the government and relevant departments have formulated a number of administrative regulations and labor rules. It can be said that China's labor legal system construction is advancing steadily.
As a member of the drafting group of the Labor Law at that time, I have been closely following the implementation of the Labor Law and changes in labor relations over the past decade, deeply feeling the role the Labor Law has played in protecting the legitimate rights and interests of workers, while also deeply realizing the progress of China's labor legal system and the growing importance of the Labor Law in society. I originally wanted to write some reflections on this, but coincidentally, Ms. Wang Xiaozeng of Legal Press suggested that I provide a new interpretation of the Labor Law based on the current labor legal system, which encouraged me to boldly take up my pen and led to the creation of this book.
