This article scrutinises the status quo regarding the protection of migrant workers' rights within Vietnam, set against the backdrop of accelerated industrialisation and urbanisation. Notwithstanding the fact that the current legal framework (inter alia, the Labour Code, the Law on Trade Unions) has enshrined the principle of equality, in practice, the migrant workforce continues to confront a plethora of perils regarding legal status, social security, and working conditions. This research delves into the pivotal role of Trade Unions, whilst simultaneously identifying the challenges posed to the Trade Union organisation in guaranteeing the rights of migrant workers. Consequently, the article proposes a comprehensive set of holistic measures aimed at perfecting the legal mechanism, enhancing the capacity of trade unionists, and fortifying international network linkages to safeguard the rights of migrant workers in an effective and sustainable manner.
