GUANGZHOU - A business leader in South China's Guangdong province has called for better popularization of labor laws among migrant workers and local businesses to avoid social unrest from labor disputes.

"In addition to better care for migrant workers, businesses should attach more importance to studying and popularizing labor laws to improve the workers' awareness of legal means of coping with labor disputes," said Zhan Xueju, president of the Xintang Chamber of Commerce.

Zhan's call came after the removal of two leading government and Party officials of Xintang township in Zengcheng, a suburb of Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province, following an incident of unrest in June.
