工会是企业联系广大职工群众的纽带和桥梁,是代表职工的利益,表达职工的意愿和要求,依法维护职工合法权益的有效机构。 Trade unions are the links and bridges between enterprises and the masses of workers and staff members. They are the effective agencies that represent the interests of staff and workers and express their wishes and demands, and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests in accordance with the law.
