IR Project

Launching of Labour Code 2012 leaflets on labour contracts, working time, wage, social dialogue, collective bargaining and dispute resolution

The launching of the Labour Code 2012 leaflets aims to maximize workers’ understanding and compliance of the Labour Code provisions related to labour contract, working time, wage, social dialogue, collective bargaining and dispute resolution.

The ILO provided support for Legal Department, Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs to develop a Labour Code 2012 guidebook for general workers. The guidebook aims to provide useful guidance, information and tips to the workers – how to interpret the provisions, what to do and what not to do, going beyond the legal provisions and taking proactive initiatives. Based on the guidebook, four leaflets have been prepared and printed in order to improve workers’ understanding and compliance of the Labour Code provisions related to issues such as labour contract, working time, wage, social dialogue, collective bargaining and dispute resolution. The leaflets will be disseminated to workers at enterprises participating in IR Project pilot programmes. The launching event will take place in Hanoi in March 2016 with an estimated number of 50 participants mainly from grassroots trade unions of enterprises.
