Some 4,000 gifts, each worth 500,000 VND (21.64 USD) will be given to workers who have been battered by the COVID-19 pandemic, while 1,500 labourers from the northern and central regions will get free train and coach tickets.
Vice President of the province’s Federation of Labour Tang Quoc Lap said due to COVID-19, many workers in the province faced furloughs, became unemployed, or had their income slashed.
The labour federations at all levels have worked with employers to outline wage and bonus payment plans for workers, he said, adding they also explained to the workers why the Government has not adjusted the region-based minimum wage in 2021 yet./.
