Organizing more than 12,000 dialogues at the workplace
From the dialogue with enterprises organized by the union, many workers in Ho Chi Minh City have their rights guaranteed and improved.
Organize monthly and quarterly dialogues
Ms. Tran Thi Hong Van - Chairwoman of the Trade Union of Nissei Electric Vietnam Company - said that every year, in addition to the annual periodic Labor Conference, the Company's Trade Union regularly organizes dialogues with businesses. This dialogue is held at least once a month to promptly resolve the difficulties and concerns of employees. Thereby, workers' recommendations are resolved soon, and working conditions are increasingly improved. For example, through dialogue, the company has installed a water drinker in the dusty air room of each room, replaced 6 washing machines in the workers' accommodation area, planned to maintain the infrastructure of the accommodation area; improved the lunch break at the factory to help workers have a cooler resting space...
Mr. Luu Kim Hong - Chairman of the Trade Union of Nidec Vietnam Company - said that the company also organizes regular meetings with the Trade Union once a month or when there are unexpected issues related to the rights of employees. In addition, the Company Complaints and Complaints Committee (of which the union president is a member) also holds regular meetings every Wednesday with the participation of the union president to resolve employees' complaints and complaints from inboxes or emails or via social networks or directly reflection of employees to the union president. When there are results, we will respond to union members and employees in the company's newsletter. Thanks to that, workers' concerns and recommendations were soon resolved.
More than 10,000 enterprises organize labor conferences
Mr. Nguyen Thanh Do - Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation Legal Consulting Center - said that Ho Chi Minh City is the locality with the largest number of union members and workers in the country, so issues related to labor relations, rights and obligations of union members and workers are always a big problem, of particular concern to the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Union.
The Ho Chi Minh City Trade Union regularly directs grassroots trade unions to proactively coordinate with employers to properly implement grassroots democracy regulations, actively research and propose organizing labor conferences and dialogues at the workplace. In 2025 alone, Ho Chi Minh City Trade Unions at all levels organized more than 12,000 dialogues at the workplace and more than 10,000 enterprises held labor conferences.
The Ho Chi Minh City Trade Union also regularly organizes training and fostering on dialogue skills at the workplace for union officials; innovates, concretizes content, and diversifies the methods of legal consulting activities for union members, employees, and representatives of lawsuits to protect employees' rights. At the same time, focus on training, coaching, and improving the capacity of union cadres, in which, priority is given to training union cadres to do negotiation, dialogue, representation, and protection of legitimate rights and interests of workers strong enough to meet the requirements of the new situation.
With the above approach, union dialogue and negotiation activities at enterprises are increasingly in-depth, contributing to stabilizing ideology, employment, and income for employees and employees to work with peace of mind, trust, and stay with the enterprise for a long time, said Mr. Do.
