The Legislative Affairs Commission (LAC) of the NPC also stressed that all local governments should strictly implement labor laws and regulations, open up employment channels for workers, effectively eliminate barriers to working mechanisms in the process of returning to work, and create a fair employment environment.

Meanwhile, local governments should increase efforts to publicize laws, guide employers to recruit workers in accordance with the law, and earnestly safeguard workers' right to fair employment.
