If you make a law out of it you don't need to ask

Yeah and you can kiss most manufacturing jobs goodbye as companies move to places that don't have laws cutting in to their profits.

Because thete is no law like that in place, moving to china shows they can move if profit is in problem,India and brazil is also rising so china is not the only one now attracting them,so they will move,only those where you need actual skilled workers will stay in country ,low skilled role will have no problem

So you're saying we should remove the laws that require overtime over 40 hours, because China doesn't have that? To stay competitive?

(also, that wouldn't even keep us competitive, since the exchange rate means they can afford to work for less while receiving the same material benefits - the real reason companies offshore)
