Lao

Economy, tax incentives & labor conditions

Trade union freedom does not really exist in Laos. The only trade union organisation is closely linked to the sole legal political party and serves primarily as a workers’ auxiliary to that political organisation. There is a pattern of systematic non-enforcement of the provisions of the law that provide protections to workers.
