چکیده
Multinational corporations (MNCs) are facing various labor legislations and labor institutions in different countries. This paper investigates the functions and effectiveness of Chinese unions in MNCs. Survey evidences suggest that Chinese unions play cooperative roles in helping MNCs to harmonize industrial relations (internal functions), and to build trust and long run coordination with the Chinese government and local authorities (external functions). Empirical estimation based on the manufacturing census data shows that the presence of Chinese unions is positively associated with average wage and productivity of MNCs.
