🤝 One Meeting or Two? The Legal Dance of Employee Dialogue in Vietnam

Etymology Corner: 

The word "dialogue" comes from Greek "dialogos" - meaning "conversation between two or more people". But in Vietnamese labor law, not all conversations are created equal! 😉

🎯 The Situation in a Nutshell

When companies need to restructure or downsize in Vietnam, they must follow specific procedures to protect employee rights. But here's the million-dong question: Are "consulting with employee representatives" and "organizing workplace dialogue" one procedure or two? Let's break it down!

📚 The Key Differences

Consulting Representatives:

• Just employee reps involved
• More informal process
• Required only if employee belongs to a representative organization

Workplace Dialogue:

• Everyone gets a seat at the table
• Strict requirements about attendees
• Formal documentation needed
• Must be done regardless of representation status
