The Vietnam General Confederation of Labor has just directed to stop collecting union funds and union dues for union members, grassroots unions of administrative agencies, public service units receiving 100% of state budget salary, and armed forces from June 1.
These are units that will end their operations according to Resolution No. 60-NQ/TW dated April 12, 2025 of the 13th Party Central Committee.
According to Phan Van Anh, Deputy Head of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, about 2.6 million union members will stop paying union dues. According to the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, the amount of union dues and union dues of the group of people who will stop paying is about over 3,000 billion VND/year.
Although union dues and union funds are not collected from June 1, unions in this sector will continue to operate until the end of operations and handover of finances and assets is completed before June 25.
According to Mr. Phan Van Anh, the lack of funding does not greatly affect the activities of caring for and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of union members and workers implemented by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor. Because currently, the unit assigned to collect has left 75% of the union fund and 70% of the union dues for the grassroots union to organize activities to care for union members and workers.
The remaining 27% is paid to the superiors, and the superior trade union spends directly on union members and workers at the grassroots trade union (about 80% of the 27% paid to the superiors) and the remaining amount is spent by the superior trade union for the activities of the trade union agency according to the provisions of law.
According to the Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, the Executive Board of the grassroots union has the right to spend the remaining union funds and union dues (surplus, newly paid) at the grassroots union on activities to care for and support union members and workers in accordance with the financial regulations of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor as well as the laws of the State. This spending stops when the grassroots union ceases its operations.
Therefore, the rights and interests of union members and employees who have paid union fees and union dues are still guaranteed, timely, in accordance with the principles, purposes, publicly, transparently, and to the right subjects...
