What is “independent union”?
16/7/14
Our country has just
celebrated 89 years on the Vietnam Revolutionary Journalism with the growth and development of the country's
newspapers and more
than 21,000 members of Journalists
Association. However it was ridiculous
as many “democrats”
acclaimed and called for
establishment the so-called “independent
journalist” for bloggers
who are anti-democratic to
the State without any true report.
These people also call themselves “independent
journalists” attended a meeting so-called “demanding press freedom in Vietnam
Early last June, the “democrats” screamed again
to resurrect ghosts of “independent trade unions”- a reactionary organization
by Nguyen Van
Dai, launched in 2006 that
its ringleaders had been treated for violations of
criminal law. Taking advantage of
the event when many workers protested illegally and
had more aggressive behavior after the China’s
illegal deployment of oil rig Hai
Duong 981 in
the continental shelf and the EEZ
of Vietnam, they co-odinated
with 17 “civil society
organization” to campaigne for re-establishment
of “Vietnam independent trade union” representing for “millions of workers are being exploited ...”
(?!). They distorted
and denied the large role of the General Federation of Labor in Vietnam Vietnam that if we want to participate in
the Economic Partnership Agreement on
the Trans-Pacific Strategic (TPP), Vietnam
Recently, many
organizations in Vietnam Vietnam violates rights for freedom of associations, calling on other countries make pressure
conditions when Vietnam
Constitution
and laws of Vietnam
First of
all,
we can see immediately that all these organizations
are not new,
progressive or urgent to establish. Vietnam
In fact, the
independent organizations only
represents for a group of negative and dissatisfied people, they want to gather forces to
perform the dark intrigues.
Whether they intentionally expand by the labels
of artists and wellknown intellectuals
but they are never able to fool our
people. Even if they
are backed from abroad, presentting in international
forums such as the
plenary session of the UN Human Rights Council in Switzerland

Freedom to establish associations is a basic right of Vietnamese people stipulated in the Constitution and law.
his right has been ensured and promoted in society. But abuse of the right to organize associations in order to sabotage the nation is illegal.
The Constitution and law stipulate that all Vietnamese citizens have the right to join or not join associations. The State supports and finances special associations like the Farmers’ Association, the Women’s Union and the Trade Union.
The administration at all levels offers incentives for professional associations of writers, journalists, arts and literature, and economic associations of enterprises and businesspeople which promote national interests and social norms.
The associations, especially the economic associations, have contributed enormously to national development and served as bridges between their members and the administration.
The associations must promote their role in shaping and criticizing Party guidelines, state policies, and the government’s socio-economic development programs.
Vietnam has a great number of associations, unions, and clubs because the state guarantees and promotes the legitimate right of its citizens to organize associations.
It follows the International Convention on civil and political rights to which it is a signatory.
the exercise of this right is only limited by law for the essential need of a democratic society to protect national security, public safety, order, and health, ethics, other people’s rights.
Vietnam’s Constitution and law respect the right to organize associations if the associations serve public interests. Forming associations against the national political system harms public interests and violates Vietnamese and international law. It’s unacceptable in Vietnam.
