According to records, most workers do not agree with this proposal.
Ms. Hoang Thi Thanh (49 years old, Nam Dinh) - a fabric cutter said that the proposal is like depriving the rights of social insurance participants. Ms. Thanh even said that the proposal will affect the time of social insurance payment of workers.
"I can do it for 20 years, but waiting until I'm 60 years old to receive my pension is uncertain. If I don't receive unemployment benefits when I quit my job, it's a disadvantage," Ms. Thanh said.
The female worker shared that she has now paid social insurance for 17 years. Ms. Thanh said that, during the process of paying social insurance, there is always a separate deduction to the unemployment insurance fund. enjoy.
"The insurance payment period is long but workers only receive a maximum of 12 months of unemployment benefits, which is very disadvantageous. This benefit should not be cut in any case" - Ms. Thanh recommended.
According to Ms. Thanh, this is the thinking of many workers, not just herself.
With this new proposal, Mr. Pham Thanh Binh (33 years old) - a worker at an electronic components company in Hanoi expressed: "I have paid unemployment insurance for more than 10 years, so if I do not receive this benefit, , where do I get money to ensure my life when I have no job?
