Germany’s Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Institute has donated office equipment worth 120 million VND to a legal consulting office operated by the provincial trade union organisation in the central coastal province of Phu Yen.

At a ceremony to hand over the equipment on March 26, chairwoman of the Phu Yen Labour Federation Nguyen Thi Thu Van said that the gift is very helpful for the office, which provides free legal consulting services to local labourers

In 2013, more than 200 workers came to the office for legal assistance.

According to Van, the federation plans to open several more legal consulting offices in the province’s economic zones to give workers more access to legal advices.-VNA
