Understanding the difficult circumstances of many workers, the Trade Union has created activities for union members and workers such as organizing skill competitions for workers 4 times a year. Through that, each worker proves their capacity, has an income commensurate with their work achievements, raising the average income of workers from 8 to 12 million VND/person/month. For cases of special difficulties and illnesses, the Trade Union has launched a fundraising campaign throughout the company. Entertainment activities and gift giving for workers in difficulty during holidays and Tet are maintained regularly.”

For especially difficult cases, the company always has separate support policies".
