New employees can also eat Union Meals for 4 days
On July 28, going home to eat at noon, Mr. Nguyen The Duc and Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Xuan were happy because the meal had much more food than usual. Both chose fried chicken rice with fish sauce. Mr. Duc and Ms. Xuan have only been at the company for 4 days and are currently being trained in the assembly department.
What surprised the two was that "it had not been long since they joined the Canon family but had eaten the Union Meal like many long-time workers" - Ms. Xuan said. Having worked at the company for 3 years and had a break last year, this year's opportunity to eat a Union Meal was also a surprise to Ms. Le Thi Dung, a worker in the defective goods analysis department. The dish Ms. Dung chose was stir-fried squid and stir-fried melon.
With a meal of a lot of food like the Union Meal, Ms. Dung will leave the rice because the food alone is nutritious enough for the afternoon shift. Like her colleagues, Ms. Dung hopes that her daily shift meal will continuously improve, rich in meals to have more options. Many workers also expressed their joy because in addition to the rice portion with more food, each person also had 1 fish ice cream.

At the Union Meal, in addition to the company's 24,000 VND, the Union spent an additional 26,000 VND. The fish ice cream worth 25,000 VND at the Union Meal was also paid by the Union. In particular, on the occasion of the 96th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam Trade Union, the company's Trade Union gave each union member 100,000 VND, transferred directly to their personal accounts.
Mr. Ryo Onoue - Director of the Human Resources and Administration Department - was moved to say: "I am very happy to see workers excited at the Union Meal organized by the Company's Union. There has been no similar activity in Japan. This is one of the activities of the union to express sincere gratitude to all employees. Mr. Ryo Onoue highly appreciated the role of the company's Trade Union in accompanying the Board of Directors to encourage and care for workers, so that workers can strive to contribute their strength and intelligence to the company".
