Mr. Hieu said: "The company's Board of Directors always prioritizes the dissemination of guidelines, policies, laws of the Vietnamese State and the tasks of the trade union organization in taking care of workers' lives.

As a member of the grassroots trade union, I have to research policies and advise the board of directors to participate in building laws, policies and regimes on labor, wages, labor protection, social insurance, health insurance and other policies and regimes for employees at the company. The collective labor agreement is built and receives the consent of employees, harmonizing the interests of both parties.

The company's trade union is also a representative participating in inspecting and supervising the implementation of policies and regimes, participating in company councils to resolve issues related to employees; making recommendations to state agencies to supplement, amend and resolve industry policies and regimes, meeting the requirements of industry development and employee benefits.
