The scheme was launched at a meeting in Hanoi on August 11 by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour (VGCL) in association with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Planning and Investment.
The target companies include Vietnamese joint-stock enterprises which have 49 percent of their stakes owned by foreign investors.
The Ministry of Finance asked local trade unions to spend the funding to boost trade union operations and provide social welfare to local workers. The ministry also allowed them to allocate some money from the funding to pay unionists for their services, if possible, in line with guidance from the VGCL./.
