"Maple Bridge Experience" trade union practice in the new era has achieved positive results

China News Service, Beijing, October 14 (Reporter Yu Zhanyi) The reporter learned from the All-China Federation of Trade Unions that the National New Era "Maple Bridge Experience" Trade Union Practice Work Conference was held in Wuhan on the 14th. The meeting summarized the experience and practices of various local trade unions in the new era of the "Maple Bridge Experience" trade union practice, and studied and deployed the next step of work.

According to reports, since the launch of the new era "Maple Bridge Experience" trade union practice in 2024, trade unions at all levels have actively built a multi-level, wide-covering network of rights protection service positions, relying on employee service centers, workers' cultural palaces, etc. to build an "integrated" and "one-stop" diverse dispute resolution center There are 5,602 local legal service stations, 46,700 legal service stations have been established based on trade union stations and "driver homes", 12,200 legal aid organizations have been established, and a total of 1.2088 million labor dispute mediators, part-time arbitrators, and legal aid volunteers have been staffed. The cross-department collaboration and linkage mechanism has been continuously improved, and the joint efforts have been effectively condensed. The "trade union + court + procuratorate + human resources and social security + justice" collaboration and linkage mechanism at the provincial and municipal levels has achieved full coverage. The tripartite mechanism for coordinating labor relations and the joint meeting between the government and trade unions have been effective. A closed loop of information sharing, joint research and judgment, case transfer, and joint disposal has gradually formed. By opening up the linkage chain of "negotiation, mediation, arbitration, litigation, assistance and enforcement" of labor disputes, employees can only enter one door and go to one place at most to resolve labor disputes, and promote the resolution of conflicts and disputes in the labor field at the grassroots level and in the bud.

According to statistics, in 2025, trade unions at all levels handled a total of 562,900 labor dispute cases and 139,000 legal aid cases; they handled 93,000 labor law supervision cases, promptly preventing and promoting the resolution of prominent issues such as wage arrears, overtime work, and protection of workers' rights and interests in new employment forms. For two consecutive years, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate jointly released typical cases of "one letter and two books" on labor law supervision. The "15th Five-Year Plan for China's Labor Movement and Trade Union Work" includes deepening the "Maple Bridge Experience" trade union practice in the new era and clarifies the work goals and direction of advancement for the next five years.
