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 enterprises is very difficult as they do – not promote proper substantive union to form and often are low-advancement opportunities.

Working in the labor federation brings more opportunities. But earning a position in such trade unions present a lot of difficult requirements, such as:
Educational and experiential qualifications and proficiency in English. Often, personal relationship and connections are necessary in order to secure a slot, as well.
…
Observing the complex labor situations and the actions of the trade union organizations in Vietnam as well as the world strongly motivates me to study and further research about labor relations.

I have just thought that the TPP really good for many country, specially is VietNam, but, the more I learn, the more I'll see these difficulties as well as the advantages about TPP. For example: Here is just a mall things I know from Tim Canova, He said that: If passed, the TPP would outsource millions of our service jobs, raised prescription drug prices. endangered the open internet, and undermined our food safety, health and environmental protections. Long before I took on Wasserman Schultz, I was a law professor speaking out against the corporate trade agenda – the so-called Washington-Wall Street Consensus that gave us NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement), permanent normal trade relations with the People’s Republic of China and other repressive regimes, and now the TPP.  In the next week, Progress For All will be sponsoring a major public forum
