US firms want more clarity on labor law

GUANGZHOU: US firms here need more clarity on the Labor Contract Law to ease its implementation, the local chamber of commerce said yesterday at a press conference.

"We hope the Chinese government will attach importance to our concerns and improve the law," Harley Seyedin, president of the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) South China, said.

The organization has more than 800 corporate and individual members and represents about 700 US companies in the region.
