Current regulations on resolving labor disputes through labor relation mediators in Vietnam

Labor relation is a relationship formed on the agreement of parties. Hence, if a labour dispute arises, the parties need to negotiate with each other. When the parties are unable to negotiate in order to resolve disputes, mediation is considered an effective method to handle these disputes. In Vietnam, labor relation mediators help the parties find an agreement, stabilize and harmonize their labor relations. This paper analyzes the inadequacies in the current regulations on labor relation mediation, points out the causes and proposes solutions to enhance the labor relation mediation mechanism in Vietnam in the coming time.
