Abstract: Using the labour dispute mediation and arbitration data in the China Labour and Social Security Statistical Yearbook, this paper analyses and describes the development of labour disputes in China since the Labour Law came into effect. It shows that under the influence of many factors, labour disputes in China will continue to increase and be characterized by an increase in collective disputes and antagonism, and conflict between competing interests. This paper puts forward some suggestions and policy ideas for directing and regulating labour relations effectively and improving the labour dispute resolution system.
