Abstract

Objective: The paper describes the current situation and needs of workers in non-public healthcare facilities as well as solutions. Method: This study employs a cross-sectoral descriptive design with a combination of quantitative and qualitative research; Desk research combined with field research of 543 workers in non-public healthcare with and without trade unions in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, and Da Nang. Result: In 2019, non-public health facilities tended to increase by 14.5% compared to 2018, but only 0.65% of trade unions were established in those facilities. Statistics of non-public health facilities are inconsistent with the Department of Health and the Confederation of Labor. Employees participating in trade unions benefit more than workers not from unions in terms of social insurance, health insurance, accident insurance, hazardous allowance, and liability allowance. In particular, healthcare establishments with trade unions provide more protective equipment at 65.8%, compared to those without trade unions, at 46.7%. Regarding interviewed subjects, 74.9% want workers' representative organizations to perform better protection to workers; 71.9% said that they do not want to have a representative organization of workers who are not part of the trade union system in the non-public medical facilities; The remaining 22.7% do not know their stance of view. Regarding methods of reuniting members, over 70% of respondents said that it is necessary to combine two methods the bottom-up and the top-down. Conclusion: The new method of gathering workers in non-public health facilities is an urgent requirement for trade unions at all levels.
