Abstract: Despite the vast research by researchers on Vietnam's wildcat strike, little is known of the perspective of the Southern Focal Economic Zone. The overall reason that emerges from the literature included: (1) raising wages for workers; (2) contributing to social security for workers; (3) and paying a seniority allowance. The aim of the present research is to figure out the reasons for the current wildcat strikes among Vietnamese blue-collar workers. A group of 936 Vietnamese blue-collar workers (387 males and 549 females) from four Southern Vietnam cities participated in the survey. They completed the Reasons are given for Wildcat Strikes questionnaire. The descriptive results showed that the highest mean among those reasons is "Labor regulations at the company are too strict". The result of this research emphasizes the impact of each reason by investigating nonoffice workers¡¯ perspective so as to predict which the potential reasons are for future strikes in Southern Vietnam.
