The development of globalization not only changes the traditional production system in China, but also creates a new production body—the immigrant workers. Based on researches in South China, this paper analyzes the background and current status of the immigrant worker organizations in China. The article concludes that the mushrooming immigrant worker organizations are well in line with the globalization process. The transnational labor solidarity network provides the Chinese immigrant worker organizations with the necessary financial aid, group management experience and labor service ideas, which is conducive to a healthy and harmonious development of the immigrant worker organizations in particular and the Chinese society at large.
