This act was originally drafted by the All-China Federation of Trade Unions under the demands and opinions of union organizations throughout the country. After the amendment was discussed and discussed at the National Trade Union Organization Conference, a preliminary draft was made and submitted to the Labor Department of the Central People’s Government for review. The Ministry of Labor referred the draft bill to the National Labor Director meeting attended by trade union organizations and business representatives from all over the country for detailed study and amendment, which was then submitted to the government council for discussion. The Council first sent the draft to the Finance and Economic Affairs Section of the CPPCC National Committee for review. After obtaining the consent, it referred to the discussion and approval of the twenty-ninth government meeting on April 21 and its application to the Central People’s Government Committee for examination and approval. At the same time, it was decided to publish the draft in the newspaper first and seek the opinions of people across the country. In the past two months, there have been heated discussions among people’s organizations throughout the country, newspapers, especially trade union organizations and the working masses. As a result, apart from commenting on some amendments to individual articles, they unanimously expressed their support for the draft law on trade unions. It can be seen that this draft law on unionization truly reflects the will and demand of the people throughout the country, above all from the masses of workers. This fact also shows that the method of legislature of the people’s government is the method of legislating with all reactionary governments
