With the increasing awareness of the law of labor, the trade unions at all levels have always tried their best to propagate and consult legal documents. This activity contributes to minimizing the situation of conflict strikes, building a harmonious and stable labor relationship.
Direct propagation
Being present at the Vietnam-Singapore Industrial Park to attend the mobile law dissemination and propaganda session, we were surprised when many workers were vague about some laws, such as the Law on Social Insurance, the Law on Labor Road traffic law. Nguyen Tan Duong works at Saigon Knitwear Co., Ltd., asks: How will social insurance be calculated when workers reach retirement age? Le Thi Thuy works at Phoenix Paint Co., Ltd in Vietnam, questions: How many years do female laborers pay social insurance premiums? Meanwhile, Nguyen Van Du, a worker at Cpac Monier Vietnam, asked workers what their rights and obligations were when they joined unemployment insurance. The most impressive is the case of Dang Thi Hien, workers of Nitto Denko Vietnam adhesive tape company. Hien previously worked as a packaging worker at a private enterprise specializing in the production and distribution of packaging products. He has been working for 7 years and has participated in social insurance since then, but when he resigned, Dang Thi Hien was not paid anything other than his salary. in which. Do not understand their interests, so Hien also do not ask, what requirements. It was only when attending the propaganda and legal consultancy that Hien knew that when the employee worked in the enterprise for 12 months or more and terminated the labor contract in accordance with the law, the employer The employee must pay a severance allowance, one half-month's salary for each year of employment plus salary allowances (if any).

Not only the cases mentioned above, at the consultation, there are many questions of employees have been answered by the union staff, social insurance, lawyers answered in detail. Nguyen Huu Quang, a worker at Nitto Denko Vietnam Co., Ltd, said: "The company's trade union has legal consultancy team and when workers have questions related to law, The company is ready to answer. However, I always want to get the answers of the right people in a more objective way."
Raising legal awareness of workers
There are nearly 1 million workers in the province, most of them are workers outside the province. Compared with previous years, the interest and understanding of the legal policy of workers has been raised considerably. However, the phenomenon of violation of policies for workers, especially in non-state enterprises, FDI is quite common. Specifically, from the employer, still have the status of signing labor contracts in contravention of regulations, not signing collective labor agreement, not building salary scales, payroll, Forcing the workers to overtime shift overtime, setting too high labor norms, not paying social insurance, health insurance and unemployment insurance for employees, not fully implementing the remuneration regime in the environment. For workers, due to poor knowledge of law, especially knowledge related to rights and obligations, the observance of internal rules, regulations, labor discipline This has led to the fact that workers are subjected to various forms of punishment by the employer, resulting in the urgent situation leading to the state of t disputes, strikes.
According to the study, propaganda activities are usually organized by trade unions in tanning hours, mid-shift breaks in businesses, hostels or industrial zones. Trade union law consultants select the appropriate time to motivate the employer to contact the workers at the manufacturing facility. In many places, union officials go down to the hostel have grasped the situation of thought, and propaganda law. From the fear of union lawyers consulting labor law, many business owners have responded positively. In the local area, the unit also proposed to set up a counseling program to improve legal knowledge for workers.
Talking to us, Nguyen Dinh Khanh, Vice Chairman of the provincial Labor Union, said: "Recently, the union level in the province has combined propaganda with mobile legal consultancy at enterprises , industrial parks, workers' quarters. It can be seen that the purpose of the propaganda and raising of legal awareness for the employees is to step by step form the habit of acting in accordance with the law, helping the laborers to harmonize the social relations under the law to maintain the lowest limit of conflict situation, strike in the enterprises."
