Federation vows to protect migrants

The country's top trade union body yesterday ordered a nationwide campaign on labor use as police arrested more suspects accused of using forced laborers in brick kilns.

The All-China Federation of Trade Unions said it requires grassroot trade unions across the country to immediately carry out a thorough examination to stop the violation of migrant workers' rights.

It instructed trade unions at all levels to unearth the hidden problems and cooperate with the government in cracking down on offenders.
