Previously, reflecting to Lao Dong Newspaper, workers said that after 2 years of not working, Hoang Sinh Company has not yet paid off their salaries. The majority of workers are owed 3 months of salary by Hoang Sinh Company, in some cases owing 5 months of salary. After quitting Hoang Sinh Company, workers have gone to find new jobs. However, due to unstable jobs, many elderly workers are still facing difficulties. Workers hope that state agencies will support the settlement so that Hoang Sinh Company can pay the salary and pay outstanding insurance amounts.
