On December 15, Vice President of the Bao Loc City Labor Federation (Lam Dong Province) - Mr. Le Dinh Ngoc said that the unit is supporting 70 workers to claim unpaid wages and social insurance. These are workers working at the Bao Loc Waste Treatment Plant, belonging to the Friendly Green Environment Joint Stock Company.
This company owes workers' salaries and social insurance from December 2023 to the end of August 2024. The amount of salary owed to workers is more than 1.88 billion VND, and the amount of late social insurance payment is more than 452.6 million VND.
The Bao Loc City Labor Federation has participated and coordinated with the company's leaders many times to resolve the matter. The company's leaders have also repeatedly made commitments to the departments and the Bao Loc City People's Committee, but they have all broken their promises and failed to pay wages and social insurance to the workers.
Mr. Le Dinh Ngoc said that at the end of November, Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee issued a decision to impose administrative sanctions on this violation of Friendly Green Environment Joint Stock Company.
"Up to now, the deadline required in the decision of the Provincial People's Committee has passed, but this company has not yet paid wages and social insurance for its employees," Mr. Le Dinh Ngoc emphasized.
Mr. Ho Duy Tam - a worker at Bao Loc Waste Treatment Plant shared that he came from Dong Nai to work at this factory.
By mid-March 2024, due to his long-term unpaid salary from Friendly Green Environment Joint Stock Company, he had to quit his job here. The salary owed by this company was nearly 35 million VND.
Mr. Tam and the workers have sent a petition to the authorities. Every time the authorities of Bao Loc city and Lam Dong province come to resolve the issue, the company makes a commitment but then does not comply.
Up to now, the company's leaders have made 5 promises to the workers, but have broken them all. Each time the company makes a promise, the workers have to spend more money on travel and accommodation to wait.
Mr. Tam shared: “Every time the company breaks its promise like that, we are the ones who suffer double losses. The costs go up, down and we return empty-handed. We, the workers, are already in a difficult situation and now have even more difficulties.”
“The decision of Lam Dong Provincial People’s Committee has a clear time limit. Now the deadline has passed but the company still ignores and deliberately delays our salary and social insurance debts,” Mr. Ho Duy Tam indignantly emphasized.
