Support workers without Tet bonus 1 million VND/person

(Dan Tri) - The Ho Chi Minh City Trade Union has prepared funds to support workers in export processing zones and industrial parks without Tet bonuses at a rate of 1 million VND/person.

According to the Trade Union of Export Processing Zones - Industrial Parks (EPZs - IPs) in Ho Chi Minh City, the unit currently has a plan to ensure stable labor relations by the end of the year.

The Trade Union of the City's Export Processing Zones and Industrial Parks is managing 732 grassroots trade unions with nearly 220,000 workers. With the characteristics of many enterprises having a large number of workers, the Trade Union of the Export Processing Zones and Industrial Parks has built a plan to take care of workers during Tet very early.

In particular, the union promotes taking care of workers' welfare and closely monitors the year-end salary and bonus situation at enterprises.

When well taken care of, workers will feel secure at work (Illustration: Tan Nguyen).

The Trade Union of the Export Processing Zones and Industrial Parks has surveyed and compiled a list of businesses that often show signs of stopping work before Tet, businesses that owe wages, social insurance, etc. for monitoring. This list has also been sent to the Management Board of the Export Processing Zones and Industrial Parks for coordination and inspection.

The unit also coordinated with the Management Board of Export Processing and Industrial Zones to establish 3 inspection and supervision teams for enterprises with a large number of workers but often showing signs of stopping work before Tet and not giving Tet bonuses.

The union also urged businesses to promptly publicize salaries, Tet bonuses, and 2025 Tet holiday schedules to reassure workers; and promptly intervene when businesses do not publicly announce salaries, Tet bonuses, or Tet holiday schedules.

According to union representatives, grassroots units are constantly monitoring the situation to promptly detect businesses that do not give Tet bonuses.

In these cases, the Trade Union will coordinate with the Management Board of the Industrial Parks and Export Processing Zones of Ho Chi Minh City to work directly with the enterprise to handle the situation. In cases where the enterprise is unable to give Tet bonuses, the Trade Union of the Industrial Parks and Export Processing Zones of the City will support each worker without a Tet bonus with 1 million VND.

According to the Trade Union of Export Processing Zones and Industrial Parks in Ho Chi Minh City, the labor relations situation during Tet holiday in recent years has been quite stable, with work stoppages tending to decrease.
