It was once my dream to be able to make a living out of job as a Blogger and Youtuber. And today I will share my daily life with the world. My home town in the South Cost Central of Viet Nam. We are planning dragon fruit and vegetables. My Mom Nhan takes care of all the family as an older teacher, and my younger sister Huong is a student in HCM City.  I am really thankful for the technology today, that makes it possible to live in a secluded place like this, surrounded by the field of dragon fruit, but to still be able to reach the whole world. It’s a beautiful combination. I mostly spend my time on filmmaking and photography and upload on YouTube. I also share glimpses from our daily life living in this beautiful, rural place in the VietNam countryside.

As a senior, I have learned a lot about Vietnam's Trade Union, I see the biggest existence of trade unions today are: 1: The shortage of specialized union members The majority of the union members officials today are experienced workers to do union president facility. They are not yet fully equipped with specialized knowledge of trade unions. 2. The local trade union activities are not really effective. Local trade union also undertook too many administrative procedures are not necessary, not to focus on their main tasks which protect the legitimate rights and interests of the workers. 3. The local trade union depends too much on the leadership of the company and get paid directly from the company's leadership.                                  The chart shows the difficulties of the unions at locals                                                                                                                (1)               (2)              (3)           (4)    

On 19,22/11/2016, The Faculty of Labor Relations and Trade Union of Ton Duc Thang University organized two International Conferences: Seminar on labor relations of the countries in the world and Seminar on methods for resolving labor disputes of the countries in the world.  The seminar was organized by two experts from canada: Professor  Allen Ponak:  University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon SK, Canada (2012-2015), is the arbitrator of the organization National Academy of Arbitrators;  Professor  Daphne Taras:  Dean Edwards School of Business, University of Saskatchewan, Canada. At the conference, we learned the situation of Labor Relations in Canada and some countries in EU; the issues relating to labor arbitration ... We worked together to address the real situation on labor arbitration, students debated on issues related to the rights and obligations of unions, the director, the decision of the arbitrator... Although attended two seminars but we have learned

I have talked to a lot of professors who come to my University to teach and research. In US or any country in EU, the Union are very strong, powerful and independence from the enterprise. But I wonder if the Union president is a Director, what will going on? Is that exist in US or EU or the other country?  Actually, The Director of the company or The Director of Human Resources become the Union president is not true and it break the Union laws in Viet Nam, but if they do really well, the employees are very satisfied with the current union; the policy regime is extremely good for workers. How do you think about it? In fact, many companies, enterprises in Ho Chi Minh city and even in Viet Nam,  the Union president is appointed by the employer. They cooperate with each other, operating under the trade union laws and take very good care for employees. The superior trade union know that and still allow them to do that, because it is good for the employees at the company. To understand m

Ho Chi Minh, 11pm, 19/11/2016 I was really surprised when I checked e-mail this morning, actually it was a shock to me. 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

Ho CHi Minh City,19/11/2016. How TPP impact on VietNam in some days later, may be farewell to TPP. We study alot about how difficults when VietNam has free union in TPP, but, Trump won, and TPP with VietNam may be no chance.  So I wonder what will going on next, I would like to receive your comment about how TPP impact on VietNam with Trump. Mrs. Helena Worthen sai that: " In the meantime, “congratulations” on a new president is not exactly right….”condolences” is better.  How will this affect TPP? We don’t know yet. Trump campaigned on the basis of being anti-TPP, but he tells lies all the time and changes his mind whenever the wind blows from a different direction. TPP is good for big business  in the US — it is good for corporations. It is good for corporations because it encourages work to get sent out to low-wage countries, but more important is the way it allows corporations to sue governments to recover “lost profits.”  Seriously, this means that if the US decide
