A surviving FreeChina.net file preserves a proposal titled Proposal To Establish A Free Trade Labor Union Movement In China. The document describes a strategy for supporting independent labor organizing in mainland China, including organizer training, communications, strike and family-support funds, legal and logistical assistance, and coordination with overseas labor and democracy groups.
The proposal describes the Free China Movement as an umbrella democracy-movement organization and identifies Shengde Lian and Zhao Pinli in connection with labor-organizing efforts. These are primary-source statements from the proposal and are not treated as independently verified organizational or operational facts without corroboration.
Historical significance
The document is useful evidence of the movement’s early interest in labor rights, independent unions, collective bargaining, social-security protections and coordination between labor and democracy advocacy.
