(1) Harmonious labor relations are the foundation of social harmony.
As an important part of production relations, labor relations are social relations formed by laborers and labor users in the process of labor. Man is the sum of social relations, and social harmony is the harmony of social relations first. As one of the most basic social relations, labor relations have become a barometer of social harmony. A harmonious society must be a harmonious and stable society with labor relations, and disharmony of labor relations will inevitably affect the harmony of the whole society. In this sense, harmonious labor relations are the important foundation of a harmonious society, and social harmony is the embodiment and guarantee of harmonious labor relations.
(2) Developing harmonious labor relations is an inherent requirement to improve the socialist market economic system.
As the basis of the market economy system, the modern enterprise system includes two levels: clear property rights relations and harmonious labor relations. Enterprises with disharmonious labor relations are lifeless, and it is impossible to establish a perfect market economic system on this basis. Developing the socialist market economy and improving the corporate governance structure of enterprises require developing harmonious labor relations, mobilizing the enthusiasm of both enterprises and employees, ensuring that producers, operators, laborers and builders live in harmony, cooperate on an equal footing and win-win, so that enterprises can maintain a good momentum of healthy and sustainable development.
(3) Developing harmonious labor relations is an urgent need to coordinate the contradictions of labor relations.
At present, China's labor relations are generally coordinated and stable, and the interests of employees have been well realized. However, because China is in the period of economic system transition and social transformation, economic relations and labor relations are becoming more and more market-oriented, diversified and complicated, and some employees' rights and interests such as employment, income distribution and social security are frequently violated. Only by properly handling new situations and problems in labor relations, resolving labor disputes through consultation and coordination, and developing harmonious labor relations can we consolidate the stability of the workforce and social politics.
