Based on the comparative analysis between a local union and a labor NGO, this paper explores the unique background and path differences of labor organizations' transition in South China. According to the research, China's labor organizations are faced with structural changes in the new era, which bring legitimacy challenges with different emphasis to local unions and NGOs in promoting the two organizations' transition. During the transition, they both participate in labor disputes and organize collective bargaining, but show different working paths in practice. The local union, situated in the governmental system, tries to get close to workers in order to strength the legitimacy and authority. The strong administrative power provides the union with advantages as well as limitations. The NGOs, originating from the civil society, seek to balance the relationship between right-safeguarding and stability-maintaining in order to explore bigger living space. The strong associational power makes the flexible strategies possible, as well as bringing huge political risks and uncertainty. |
