My book Law and Precarity (CUP, 2023) is now available in paperback with much cheaper price. It explores how law carves out spaces of everyday resistance in Vietnam while perpetuating insecurity and marginalisation. https://t.co/gpAlxcHeOR

It is devastating to hear about the loss and hardship of people in Northern Vietnam due to typhoon #Yagi. My thoughts are with you all. The resilience, strength and solidarity of the Vietnamese people are truly inspiring.

With the deepest sympathy and hope.

Some really fascinating papers on Vietnam changing domestic politics!

@LianSinclair @ManchesterUP Wonderful news. Huge congratulations, Lian!

@seinwen The lump sum may sound like a lot of money, but employees have never been able to withdraw all the contributions (there's a calculation). If there's anything that would make the fund collapse (hopefully not), it would be billions dong of social insurance debts owed by companies.

[Tu Phuong Nguyen @TPNguyen90]

Vietnam passes the new Law on Social Insurance: People who join social insurance system from 1 July 2025 can't withdraw their pension after quitting their jobs, unless they move overseas, have serious illnesses, disabilities, and reduced work capacity.

[Tu Phuong Nguyen @TPNguyen90]

Much of what Angie and I talked about in the podcast was drawn from Angie's book Ties that Bind (2013) (https://t.co/TpJugvXiyx) and my book Workplace Justice (2019) (https://t.co/5C2c4N3VFb), besides some of our recent works.

[Tu Phuong Nguyen @TPNguyen90]

Please do listen to this podcast in which Angie and I talked about challenges and dilemmas of 🇻🇳's market socialism and harmonious labour relations, including wildcat strikes, minimum wage, social insurance, and of course, precarity.
