我国七届全国人大五次会议通过的《中华人民共和国工会法》(以下简称《工会法》),经过八年的实施,所起的历史进步作用不可低估。但随着市场经济体制的逐步构建和劳动关系的深刻变革,其囿于历史局限而显现的计划经济印痕以及滞后和保守的缺陷已成新时期工会职能发挥的樊篱。本文仅就《工会法》修改中有关公司董事会和监事会中设置职工代表所涉及的法律地位方面的理论问题略陈管见。 The “Trade Union Law of the People's Republic of China” (hereinafter referred to as the “Trade Union Law”) adopted by the Seventh Session of the Seventh National People's Congress, after eight years of implementation, can not underestimate the historical progress it plays. However, with the gradual construction of a market economy system and profound changes in labor relations, the imprint of the planned economy, as well as the lagged and conservative defects that emerged from historical limitations, have become barriers to the functioning of trade unions in the new era. This article only discusses the theoretical issues in the revision of the “Trade Union Law” in respect of the legal status of setting up employee representatives in the board of directors and the board of supervisors.
