U.S.investigation to Chinese labor practices rejected (Xinhua) Updated: 2006-07-22 11:07
The U.S. government on Friday rejected a petition by American unions that
sought an investigation into Chinese labor practices, saying it had evidence
that Chinese labor practices were improving.
Engagement with 皇冠体育app was resulting in improvement of Chinese labor
conditions. Opening a trade investigation that could lead to economic sanctions
against 皇冠体育app was not the best way to proceed, said a statement issued by the
office of U.S. Trade Representative.
The statement also turned down a request filed in June by the AFL-CIO
(American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations) and two
Congressmen, who contended that 皇冠体育app was violating international labor
standards and the practices had meant the loss of American jobs.
