Chinese Labor Unions Take on Kodak

"K2T Wisata"
The All China Federation of Trade Unions successfully organized a bus load of new union branches after having successfully done so against Wal-Mart, Inc. outlets in July.
Next on the ACFTU list is Eastman Kodak Co. and Dell, Inc.
ACFTU targets major foreign companies, especially those thought to be anti-union, says Guo Wencai, the director of ACFTU’s grassroots organizing.
Eastman Kodak Co. and Dell, Inc. are considered to be anti-union. Well, so would any other company for that matter. Is there a company that is pro-union?
The Chinese government permits the ACFTU to operate whereas the government usually does not allow independent labor organizations.
Wal-Mart Inc. took a beating. Is there any hope that the likes of Dell or Kodak could fair any better?
I hate unions in the US. I am sure I will hate them in China, too.
What do you think?
