The world's largest retailer Wal-Mart has long resisted Trade Union involvement for its work force. However, under sustained pressure from All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU), the company, with 60 outlets and 23,000 employees in China, finally allowed the establishment of its first trade union in Jinjiang, southeast China's Fujian Province on July 29. It promises to cooperate closely with the ACFTU in setting up trade unions at all its Chinese outlets.
