There are labor disputes everywhere. Deng Jiabiao pointed out that the Singapore National Federation of Trade Unions truly practices tripartite cooperation. The units under its jurisdiction have mediation services, and most of them can be resolved. Only a very small proportion of mediation fails and has to go to the tribunal.
