Yedan Li
Yedan Li, LL.M., LL.B. is a PhD researcher at the University of Amsterdam, faculty of law, with a research topic: Court Mediation with Chinese Characteristics? Lessons from Labor Courts. As a social-legal researcher, she has been working with courts, labor bureaus and mediation centers in China. Her research interests include ADR, court studies and labor disputes resolution in China.
More than 80% of labour disputes in China are solved through mediation, but the processes do not eliminate the antagonism. In the previous part of this blog, I discussed the locals and emigrant workers’ lives in the divided Qingyang town. What effect does this have on labour disputes and the process of solving them?
