On January 24, many workers who used to work at Hoang Sinh Import-Export Joint Stock Company (abbreviated as Hoang Sinh Company, Hoa Phu Ward, Thu Dau Mot City, Binh Duong Province) said that they had received Tet gifts from the Binh Duong Provincial Trade Union.

Mr. Vo Hoang Ut Oanh (50 years old, from Kien Giang) said that the company still owes him 3 months of salary and social insurance contributions. Since quitting his job, Mr. Vo Hoang Ut Oanh has been working part-time to pay off his debt and make ends meet. Due to the hardship, Mr. Ut Oanh will stay in Binh Duong this Tet.
"Luckily, the Binh Duong union supported me with a Tet gift of 1 million VND. I have money to spend during Tet. Living alone, this gift is enough to celebrate Tet in Binh Duong. I thank the union very much" - Mr. Vo Hoang Ut Oanh expressed.
Mr. Nguyen Van Minh (60 years old, from Ben Tre) said that Hoang Sinh company owes him 5 months of salary. Currently, Mr. Minh has to work as a security guard to earn money to make ends meet.
