To retain workers

Luong Thi Duong, a native of Nghe An, a worker of Yazaki Eds Vietnam Company (Di An City), said that this year she had returned to her hometown to celebrate Tet, due to the long distance, she calculated a reasonable travel time to return to her factory on time according to the company's schedule. “Because I was afraid of missing the bus to return to Binh Duong, as soon as I arrived in my hometown, got off the bus to go home, I booked a bus ticket to Binh Duong on the sixth day of the lunar calendar. Returning to the company to work on time is also a way to repay the company's board of directors and trade unions for taking care of workers in the past time, especially during the Tet holiday", Duong said.

Especially, on the first day of work, every worker received a lucky money of 300,000 VND and Tet greetings from the company, thus everyone was very happy and eager to return to work on time. I hope that in 2022, the pandemic would disappear, everyone would be healthy, have a stable job and income", said Sang.

Pham Thi Tuyet Nhung, Chairwoman of the Grassroots Trade Union of Yazaki Eds Vietnam, said that after the long Lunar New Year holiday, on the first working day (February 9), the whole company had nearly 2,600 employees back to work, reaching a rate of more than 95%.
