Hanoi - A Japanese-owned company in Ho Chi Minh City has requested official permission to bring in unskilled Filipino or Laotian workers because it can no longer find enough Vietnamese ones, officials said Tuesday.
The request by the Nidec Tosok Corp auto parts company has ruffled feathers in Vietnam, where jobs for the growing labour force are a top priority but foreign companies say they cannot find the workers they need in the locations where they need them.
Nguyen Ngoc Quynh Nhu, head of human resources at Nidec Tosok, said many of the company's employees had left recently and found jobs closer to their hometowns. She said new industrial zones had cropped up in provincial areas where the cost of living is lower than in traditional business hubs like Ho Chi Minh City.
"Due to the labour shortage, last month the company made a proposal to import workers to the management board of the Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone," where the factory is located, Nhu said.
Officials said the request was unlikely to be granted.
"The law only allows companies to import skilled workers and experts," said Ho Xuan Lam, deputy head of the Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone. "Vietnam doesn't lack unskilled workers. Many companies can't recruit sufficient workers because of their unattractive salaries."
Nidec Tosok is not the only company to have proposed recruiting unskilled workers from foreign countries.
Nguyen Van Cuu, deputy director of Three Bambi, a Japanese-owned garment company in the Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone, said his company had asked permission to recruit unskilled workers from Cambodia in 2008. He said they had dropped the idea when told the law did not allow it.
The newspaper Lao Dong on Tuesday quoted Nguyen Huu Dung, former director of the Institute for Scientific Labour and Sociology, as saying importing unskilled workers would heighten Vietnam's unemployment rate. He agreed with Lam that companies need to increase salaries to retain employees.
The issue of unskilled foreign workers illegally working in Vietnam became prominent last year, mainly in connection with the use of Chinese workers in Chinese-run bauxite mines in Vietnam's Central Highlands region. Authorities have since tightened their enforcement of work visa laws.
Officials in several southern provinces said factories had faced labour shortages after the lunar New Year, or Tet, in February. Thousands of workers failed to return to their jobs in the footwear, garment, processing and service industries.
Vietnam's economy grew 5.5 per cent in 2009, despite the global economic slowdown. Recent signs of inflation, which hit 1.36 per cent in January and 1.96 per cent in February, could drive workers to seek higher salaries.

If there are as many jobs in Vietnam why a lot of Yuons are in Cambodia ?
Hello posters upthere.
Vietnam has not many unskilled workers is because those unskilled are sent to Laos die or dominate in Laos and in Cambodia, also some to Thailand through Isan. The rest who are skilled have to stay in the country in case.
Vietnam has many unskilled but the Japanese helping Vietnam to look as good as the Vietnamese want to be and all comes down into business and expansionism tactic of Hanoi. What Japanese did to help Vietnam is the same what the Indian business man tried to help Vietnam in reference to history that Ho Chi Minh adopted Hindu and Khmer Empire never existed.
Vietnam is looking better each time robing national resources from Cambodia to buy 6 submarines and helicopters etc., to fight China who will attack her from the sea; and that's why India and Japan, the enemies of China play love affair games with Vietnam.
Why doe snot China attack Vietnam on the ground? China already knew Vietnam already dig up the ground as its war strategies to defeat China as she did in the past in red river.
Before attacking Vietnam from the sea, China cut off the water supply by building DAMS.
By the way Japan is not stupid, my friend up there, you are in your fantasy island. Japan and INdia using Vietnam to face their common enemy China andthat's why we have seen and read a lot of weird things lately.
Vietnam keeps sending her peopel to Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and into China while Chinese enter Vietnam freely to control business and many more. Vietnam hopes that their women will marry the ethnic minority Chinese and have children and will rise against China. Vietnam hopes to cause the internal affair in China like she did inLaos, in Cambodia and in Thailand, but China already knew and wil execute anyone who stirs troubles in China.
China determines to eliminate Vietnam, that is why we see Vietnamese are in everywhere in South East Asia. Moreover, the war will happen in South East Asia region: Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Burma and Thailand. Because recently Vietnam told her friend Myanmar to buy weapons from Russia. You know what it is going to do? WAR. Who are behind this? US support Myanmar and China supports WA (Khmer-Morn Speaking).
China want to take Vietnam completely like she did it in the past, and it will be done this time even the US, Japan and India cannot save Vietnam.
About Japan? Don't try to underestimate her, she can sink Vietnam if she wants to with her unbeatable technology.

=This is so fucken outrageous that the Vietcong government make into law that dirt poor Cambodian can't work in Vietname! So now dirt poor Cambodian will have to risk their life with a bullet to their head just to work in Thailand?
The Vietcong do good mother fucker always preaching brotherly love and neighborliness but their law, politic, and policy are the most anti-Cambodian!
