A number of prominent multinational companies have recently been spotlighted in the media for not permitting employees of their businesses in China to participate in labour unions. According to media reports, the Law Enforcement Examination Committee of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress, acting in conjunction with the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU), conducted a survey examining the level of compliance with the PRC Labour Union Law(中华人民共和国工会法) in 16 provinces and cities throughout China during August 2004. They discovered that these prominent multinationals were resisting the formation of labour unions.
