Through surveys by trade unions, most of the opinions received show that workers want to increase the regional minimum wage from January 1, 2024 to compensate for living expenses.
Mr. Ngo Duy Hieu, Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor (VGCL), said that before the National Wage Council met in early August 2023 to discuss and negotiate the adjustment of the minimum wage in 2024, the VGCL organized many delegations to survey the employment situation, income, life, especially the thoughts and aspirations of workers.
Through these surveys, according to Mr. Ngo Duy Hieu, most of the opinions that the trade union organization received were that workers wanted to increase the regional minimum wage from January 1, 2024 to compensate for living expenses.
Workers want to increase regional minimum wages
From the perspective of an organization protecting workers, the trade union also understands and shares the difficulties of businesses.
“We believe that businesses and employers also understand the difficulties that workers are facing.
Most workers want to increase the regional minimum wage in early 2024. However, during the negotiation process, the parties will discuss in a spirit of goodwill and sharing to have an appropriate increase in the current context," said Mr. Ngo Duy Hieu.
The Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor said that socially responsible businesses that want to go the "long way" will find ways to ensure the rights of workers.
Mr. Ngo Duy Hieu also expressed his regret that up to this point, the General Statistics Office has not yet announced the minimum living standard of workers as a basis for determining the minimum wage and recommending wage policy.
"That's why the technical team members of the National Wage Council still have to try to apply the old calculation method. Although this method is not really reliable, all parties try to accept it to ensure the most basic rights of workers," said Mr. Ngo Duy Hieu.
For many years, the minimum monthly living standard of workers has included expenses for food, foodstuffs and non-food groups including clothing, entertainment, transportation; raising children; housing and the consumer price index (CPI). The proportion of expenses for the food group is 48% and non-food is 52%; the cost of raising children is 70% of adults.
