Workplace Dialogue across Enterprise Types in Vietnam: The Role of Trade Unions
Journal Title: Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Studies - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 05
Abstract
Workplace dialogue is a crucial mechanism for building harmonious, stable, and progressive labor relations within enterprises. As the representative organization of workers, trade unions play a central role in promoting and implementing effective workplace dialogue. This article analyzes and compares the role of trade unions in workplace dialogue across different types of enterprises in Vietnam, including state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, and foreign-invested enterprises (FDIs). The paper further clarifies the differences in trade union roles depending on whether employers support or oppose union activities. Research findings indicate that, aside from factors such as competence, skills, determination, and commitment of union officials, the proactivity, effectiveness, and influence of trade unions in workplace dialogue largely depend on enterprise ownership type, labor relations dynamics, management models, and corporate culture. Based on these insights, the paper offers several recommendations to strengthen the role of trade unions in workplace dialogue, aiming toward the development of more democratic and sustainable labor relations.
