Need to Amend the Trade Union law in 2012 - Assessment Based on the Compatibility between the 2012 Trade Union Law and The Standards of the International Labor Organization (ILO)

This article aims to evaluate the level of compatibility between Vietnam's 2012 Trade Union Law and a number of international labor standards based on ILO international conventions including: Convention on protection and advantages for workers' representatives in industrial establishments, 1971 (Convention No. 135) and ILO Recommendation 143 and the Convention on the Promotion of Collective Bargaining, 1981 (Convention No. 154). On that basis, this study will evaluate some of Vietnam's requirements in amending the 2012 Trade Union Law to get closer to international labor standards.
