- challenges:
- Social dialogue and collective bargaining play important roles in promoting harmonious workplace cooperation and industrial relations. Although the 2019 Labour Law includes more detailed provisions on collective bargaining and social dialogues, the grassroots unions are facing challenges due to gaps in capacity and legal framework. Consequently, if the traditional role of grassroots unions in collective bargaining or social dialogue in the workplace is overlooked, the rights of employees within the enterprise may not be adequately protected.
- success:
- The Viet Nam General Confederation of Labour is actively implementing the program "Improving the Effectiveness of Dialogue and Collective Bargaining for the Period 2023-2028." This initiative seeks to facilitate collective bargaining across multiple levels with various stakeholders, including enterprises, corporations, and international organizations, to broaden coverage and enhance both the quantity and quality of collective labour agreements.
Furthermore, the ILO's projects focused on collective bargaining and social dialogue, in conjunction with this program, will create a powerful synergy that amplifies the overall impact of these efforts.
- context:
- Trade unions play an important role in collective bargaining and social dialogue. According to Vietnamese labour law, trade unions represent the rights and interests of employees, participating in the collective bargaining process with employers to discuss and resolve issues related to wages, benefits, occupational safety, and more. Trade unions also engage in social dialogue to address social issues and foster harmonious and stable labour relations.
At the 13th Congress of Viet Nam Trade Unions, efforts continue to build on previous achievements, with a focus on creating breakthroughs in dialogue and collective bargaining. The Executive Committee of the Viet Nam General Confederation of Labour has issued the program "Improving the Effectiveness of Dialogue and Collective Bargaining for the Period 2023-2028." As part of this initiative, the goal by 2028 is for 100% of central and sectoral trade unions, as well as general trade unions under the Viet Nam General Confederation of Labour, to proactively propose to the Party Committee, relevant authorities, and professional levels to organize or coordinate at least two dialogues, contacts, or meetings with union members, workers, and union officials annually.
- description:
- Central to effecting the anticipated transformations is the improved negotiation skills of grassroots trade union officials in social dialogue and collective bargaining within the factory setting. This shift, facilitated by a partners-driven approach, nurtures the requisite capacity and ownership among national partners, laying the foundation for sustainable, long-term impact
