The first time in Viet Nam, over 1000 employees striked to establish local union at factory. On 11/4/2016, at Bluecom Vina company(Korean Company with over 1.400 employees) in Hai Phong province, The employees striked because the company did not establish union to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the employees. Some reasons lead to wildcat strike : The employees had to work overtime to much, from 8.00 am to 22.00 pm without having good conditions at work. The employees wanted to have more days off: 2 days on saturday, to increase the number of day off from 4 days to 6 days a month. The solutions of the company : On 11/4 evening, the company had established local union. The company would supported vehicle deposit about 450.000 dong a month but they would cut down diligence money from 200.000 VNdong to 100.000 VNdong. The company did not agree with increasing more 2 days off. Up to now, the employees still stop working. Source: vnexpress.net ------------------

Labor Relations and Union: 'Some reasons let to strikes in Viet Nam'

Some reasons let to strikes in Viet Nam Strike seem to occur due to employers not complying with the labor law and infringing on worker's rights. In recent years, the main reasons for strikes tend to be conflicts over interesrs (70%), The workers are demanding higher wage increase and better working conditions. The question is: why are they all wildcat strikes? In the market economy, conflicts between the interests of employers and worker are inevitable. The workers are always want to improve their working conditions, increase income, while employers are must focus more on increasing productivity, cost cutting, etc. The conflict of interests between workers and employers does not have to lead to a strike if direct dialogue and collective bargaining take place regularly and two-way communication is effective applied. Wildcat strikes happen mainly when communication, dialogue and negotiation mechanism are not working effectively. The ILO estimates that perhaps 90% of the wildc

Labor Relations and Trade Unions: "Learning about Unions in English at Tôn Đức Thắng University, Việt Nam exist many difficulties"

Learning about Unions in English at Tôn Đức Thắng University, Việt Nam exist many difficulties. In the context of global cooperation, TPP is in the process of negotiations. It's very hard to know exactly how TPP will affect laborers in Vietnam.

As a trade union member - Gains and Losses

Image
As a trade union member - Gains and Losses Vietnam's trade union is lead by the VietNam Generation Confederation of  Labor - an independent trade union lead by the Party But the unions of the companies and enterprises depend  largely on business. Unions in VietNam receive salaries from company directors to defend and protect the rights and legitimate interests of legitimate workers. This is different from Unions around the world So how does this affect me, a student studying and hoping to pursue a career in labor relations and union? Currently Vietnam has only two schools that offer a bachelors degree in unions, they are: 1. Union University in Hanoi 2. Ton Duc Thang University - Faculty of Labor Relations and Trade Union More than 500 students are studying union at Ton Duc Thang University. Despite plentiful employment opportunities available to these students, they must meet high qualifications in order to enter the work force. Working for private enterpri
