作者使用2010年至2012年期间具有全国代表性的外商投资企业样本、工厂审计编码和实地研究，研究了越南野猫式罢工的企业层面前因。他们预测，这些未经授权的、半自发的停工在有工会的工作场所更为常见，因为工会在工作场所的存在向工人发出信号，表明通过参与野猫式罢工，他们可能能够激活官方工会的代表和保护作用。也就是说，在某些情况下，工人可以推动自下而上的工会代表他们行事。此外，外商独资企业、亚洲企业的投资以及工业区内的制造业务，与国有和私营企业的合资企业、西方投资者拥有的企业以及从事高附加值活动的企业相比，与更多的罢工有关。统计结果和实地研究为这些预测提供了有力的支持。这些发现表明，工会在社会主义国家中的作用可能比以前假设的更加微妙。与此同时，它们加强了文献中的观点，即越南的就业关系机构本身无法解决工人的申诉。
The authors examine enterprise-level antecedents of wildcat strikes in Vietnam using a national representative sample of foreign-invested enterprises over the period 2010 to 2012, coding of factory audits, and field research. They predict that these unauthorized, semi-spontaneous work stoppages are more common among unionized workplaces, because the presence of a union in the workplace signals to workers that by engaging in a wildcat strike, they may be able to activate the representation and protection role of official trade unions. That is, workers can in some cases push unions from below to act on their behalf. In addition, wholly foreign-owned enterprises, investments by Asian-owned firms, and manufacturing operations in industrial zones are associated with more strikes than are joint ventures with state-owned and private enterprises, firms owned by Western investors, and firms in higher-value-added activities. Statistical results and field research provide strong support for these predictions. These findings suggest that the role of trade unions in socialist states may be more nuanced than previously assumed. At the same time, they reinforce the observation in the literature that Vietnamese employment relations institutions are unable, in and of themselves, to address worker grievances.
