How China's anti-subversion law is being used against worker rights advocates

"The Chinese Communist Party is facing a serious dilemma: it claims to protect workers, but those very same workers are protesting in the streets. The workers want the right to form their own trade unions. They want to have a voice in decisions affecting their work and their benefits."
-- Mike Jendrzejczyk Washington director of Human Rights Watch's Asia Division.

"...contacts with Hong Kong-based organizations or individuals reporting on labor problems or dissident arrests equaled collusion with a "hostile
foreign organization" -- International Herald Tribune, February 28, 2003 "China's Repression: Under Cover of 'Terrorism'"

What you can do: Help Labourstart's campaign to protest the plans by the Hong Kong government to introduce an 'anti-subversion law' which will stop workers in the Hong Kong Special Autonomous Region (HKSAR) coming together as trade unionists to campaign for their existing rights and campaign for improved rights - and to campaign for the rights of workers on the mainland.
