ILAB in Vietnam

Map of Vietnam

U.S. - Vietnam Labor Cooperation

The U.S. - Vietnam Labor Dialogue was established through a Memorandum of Understanding in 2000 between the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and the Vietnamese Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA). It was extended through Letters of Understanding signed in 2006, 2008, and 2012. The Dialogue was established to provide a forum for the two sides to discuss labor issues, given the absence of labor provisions in the U.S. - Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement. The Office of International Relations (OIR) staffs and leads DOL participation in the Dialogue.

List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor

Report Cover for the List of Goods Produced by Child Labor and Forced Labor ILAB develops and makes public a list of goods from countries it has reason to believe are produced by child labor or forced labor in violation of international standards. The List is not intended to be punitive, but rather to raise public awareness about child labor and forced labor and to promote efforts to address them – as a starting point for individual and collective action. Publication of the List has provided ILAB new opportunities to engage in technical cooperation with foreign governments and has also been a valuable resource to many companies in carrying out risk assessment and due diligence on labor rights in their supply chains.
