New regulations on Vietnamese Labour Law: Prohibited Sectors of Strike

Decree No. 41/2013/ND-CP details the implementation of Article 220 of the Vietnamese Labor Code, which concerns specific categories of laborers who are prohibited from going on strike. These categories include employees working in areas related to national security, defense, health or the public order and in fields where a strike could have a devastating affect on the nation’s economy.

Strikes are prohibited in six sectors:

–          Production and transmission

–          Exploration and exploitation of oil and gas, supply and production of gas

–          Maritime and Aviation safety

–          Telecommunication infrastructure, postal services

–          Water supply (providing clean water and sanitation)

–          Sectors serving national security

The decree takes effect on June 23rd 2013 and outlines the units where strike is prohibited. Thus, replacing Decree 28/2011/ND-Cp and Decree 122/2007/ND-CP.
