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 wildcat strikes occurring in VietNam could have been prevented if the employer and workers had regular ongoing two-way dialogue going on prior to the strikes. All the issues that workers tend to strike over need to be discussed and sorted out before they have time to boil over into work actions. Proactive, not reactive steps are needed.
So, what are the reason let to strikes in your country? Do they have social dialogue and collective bargaining? If yes, how long it take???? I wonder?
