Shanghai should enhance local employment and reemployment, said Mayor Han Zheng on a fact-finding tour of the Shanghai General Labor Union yesterday afternoon.
Under the market mechanism, the labor union has significant and irreplaceable functions, Mayor Han said, adding that social justice should be maintained when protecting employees' rights.
Local government should continue to support people who create their own businesses; formulate regulations on guaranteeing workers' rights; and guide people to have the proper work ethic, Han stressed. Preferential government policies on employment should target special groups with difficulties in their lives, he pointed out.
