2025年劳动法律监督“一函两书”典型案例发布——共商共治保护劳动者权益

Core Viewpoint - The "One Letter and Two Books" system, jointly released by the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, the Supreme People's Court, and the Supreme People's Procuratorate, serves as an important institutional tool for labor law supervision, combining flexible supervision with rigid guarantees to address the challenges of protecting workers' rights [1][2]. Multi-Party Collaborative Governance - Since 2025, trade unions at all levels have collaborated with courts and procuratorates to implement the "One Letter and Two Books" system, ensuring timely and efficient handling of cases involving violations of labor rights such as wage arrears and occupational safety [1][2]. - A nationwide network for rights protection is gradually taking shape, with all 31 provincial-level trade unions establishing collaborative mechanisms with local courts and procuratorates [1][2]. Effectiveness of Collaborative Governance - In 2024, over 170,000 "One Letter and Two Books" were issued, successfully resolving 7,846 cases of wage and insurance arrears, recovering economic losses of 38.4125 million yuan for workers [3]. - Trade unions play a unique role as "early warning sentinels," "negotiation bridges," and "collaborative hubs," facilitating collective bargaining and democratic management between enterprises and workers [3]. Addressing Algorithmic Challenges - The rise of the platform economy has led to 84 million new employment form workers, raising concerns about their rights protection, particularly regarding algorithm management and transparency [4]. - The "One Letter and Two Books" system addresses these issues by facilitating communication between trade unions and platform enterprises, promoting the rectification of unreasonable algorithm settings that harm workers' rights [4][5]. Preventive Effects - The increasing number of disputes involving older workers highlights the need for legal protections, as existing labor laws do not adequately cover their rights [7][8]. - The collaborative efforts of trade unions, procuratorates, and courts in protecting the rights of older workers demonstrate the power of institutional innovation, leading to the establishment of a rights protection mechanism that fills legal gaps [7][8].
