Recently, the U.S. began to promote the SA8000 standard certification mandatory for Chongqing business panic. "With this tool, Europe and the United States can effectively resist our countries export labor-intensive products", Chongqing Leather Footwear Association, the official said. Chongqing Municipal Foreign Economic and Trade Commission also said that Chongqing is not a business through the SA8000 standard. While the new standards in international trade is likely to appear in the shopping list of all multinational companies in Chongqing. In addition to leather shoes and a small part of the processing of garments, the Chongqing Municipal another major export products?? Chemical raw materials will be affected. SA8000 standard certification means companies make money on the environment and must also bear the responsibility of stakeholders is the world's first social responsibility certification standard. It includes population, labor standards and environmental protection are three main areas. The main content of labor: the company shall not use child labor, shall not use forced labor, the company can not under any circumstances often require employees to work more than 48 hours a week, the wages paid to employees should not be less than the legal or industry minimum standards health and safety for all employees living environment. The purpose of this standard is "giving the market economy humanitarian." In the short term, the standard export competitiveness of Chinese products have great negative impact, according to Chongqing to say in a responsible shoes, shoe companies have not yet completed the city's most primitive accumulation, few have the strength to meet this standards of environmental protection and labor protection. Many export companies and products are affected, is self-evident. However, the long term, this standard there is a huge positive. The standard itself, will serve as an external coercive measures to force Chinese companies, while in the pursuit of productivity, environmental protection and labor protection into account both aspects, to promote the situation of China's brutal primitive accumulation in economic development as soon as possible to humanitarian. This was conducive to sustainable development and social justice, and the party and the government sought-after social stability. Environmental protection, developed countries in the last century, i.e. about 20 years to resolve. However, China still has a way of sacrificing the environment for economic growth, even this is no good way to be radical. Environmental laws and regulations not only the expense of home business, home life and death of the masses as if he heard, and local governments for the company's pollution problems, connivance, backed the green light. This model, although economic growth has brought, but paid a heavy environmental cost. Some parts of the industrial wastewater to the life of the downstream residents, some local people living in long-term gas emissions among companies. This approach to the enterprise is mainly business owners bring huge profits, the majority of innocent people have to bear a huge environmental cost. This model, in any case can not be said to be just and humane. Although, from export prices, the expense of environmental products such low prices, a strong competitive edge, to the state in exchange for foreign exchange, but if taking into account the environmental costs, the cost of such goods are actually very high, except that costs and no commitment by the business owners, public commitment by the Bale. This improper development model, in my opinion, only the people on domestic legislation and domestic condemnation, has no effect. Must be more thorough pull off the external constraints. SA8000 standard as an international trade standard certification of the implementation, will force companies (at least export company) must also take account of environmental costs, including environmental costs to achieve lower costs, including the goal. This will help to improve quality of life of people in China. Besides labor rights. Our low-cost exports is the direct cause of China's labor is cheap. This has always been proud of our strengths. However, this advantage is not labor or rarely the benefits of economic development as the prerequisite. Cheap labor the real content, that is, long-term workers work overtime without overtime pay and benefits, no health insurance, pension insurance, business insurance, and working conditions is extremely difficult, some enterprises workers have problems with the toilet. Even more shocking is that cheap labor also means that large number of enterprises owed wages, workers did not actually hard-earned security, workers had to jump off a hanging Taogong Zi. This thing is not the only place trade enterprises, and some products have to the international market, foreign trade enterprises, the same thing happened with wage arrears. Of course, cheap labor costs to bring convenience for export, but not from a large number of workers and how much benefit exports. Our labor wages are determined by supply and demand, rather than labor contributions to the decision. According to supply and demand, then a serious over-supply of Chinese labor, the cost will be little to attract a large number of workers, but if you take into account the contribution of labor, then a large number of export enterprises will be a lot of benefits, workers have the right to share this species of interest, such as increased wages and benefits, improved working environment and so on. SA8000 standard certification requirements, business stakeholders, responsibilities, it is contain them. Therefore, SA8000 standard certification is undoubtedly the one building from the outside environment to protect the interests of labor barrier. Unless you do not export, you export, you have to according to this standard. I think, the standard for the cure the chronic problem of domestic pollution and wages, would be helpful. Of course, in economic development while protecting the environment, protect workers, which was originally not wait only to export only when forced by external pressure to work on. Does not export business, they certainly should not damage the environment by pollution, violations of labor in the interests of. But can be envisaged, if not from external constraints, entrepreneurs and politicians rely on the conscience, we will also pay the price even higher price.
