1,000 workers are supported
News from the Trade Union of Ban Thach Ward, Da Nang City on March 31st said: In the context of fluctuating gasoline and oil prices, many businesses and trade union organizations in the ward have proactively implemented solutions to support workers, contributing to reducing the cost burden and creating motivation to stabilize production.
Typically, Celebrity Fashion Vina Co., Ltd. (located in Tam Thang Industrial Park, with a grassroots trade union directly under Ban Thach Ward Trade Union) has implemented a policy to support each worker with 200,000 VND to share difficulties in travel expenses.
This is direct support, given to each worker in the context of high gasoline prices, which have a significant impact on daily life.
Representatives of the Trade Union of Celebrity Fashion Vina Co., Ltd. said that the enterprise is maintaining a team of about 1,000 workers. With a support level of 200,000 VND/person, the total expenditure is not a small number. However, the enterprise determines that this is not only a responsibility but also a necessary companionship with workers in difficult times.
Notably, the above-mentioned support is completely outside the regimes that have been prescribed before. Usually, the company's salary structure already includes gasoline and travel allowances.
However, in the face of the actual developments of the fuel market, businesses have flexibly supplemented support as a timely solution, showing practical concern for workers' lives.
This sharing has partly helped workers reduce spending pressure, while strengthening trust and increasing attachment to businesses.
Ms. Tran Thi Hong - a garment line worker shared: the support of 200,000 VND, although not large, is very timely, helping her reduce some travel costs during the gasoline price increase.
Every day going to work both ways costs quite a bit of gasoline, especially for people far away like me. With this additional support, I see that businesses are interested, so I feel more secure working," Ms. Hong said.
Timely support union members injured in accidents
Previously, the Trade Union of Celebrity Fashion Vina Co., Ltd. organized visits, encouragement and timely support for union member Nguyen Tan Vu who unfortunately had a traffic accident on his way home from work.
This is an activity that shows the practical concern and care of the trade union organization for union members and workers in difficult and disastrous circumstances.
Union member Nguyen Tan Vu has difficult family circumstances, is the main breadwinner in the family with three young children of school age, while his wife is in the process of taking care of young children, unable to work stably.
The unexpected accident caused him to be hospitalized for treatment for a long time, not only seriously affecting his health but also disrupting the family's main source of income, making life even more difficult.
Immediately after grasping the information, the Trade Union of Celebrity Fashion Vina Co., Ltd. quickly visited, encouraged and provided support of 2 million VND to share some of the immediate difficulties with Mr. Vu's family.
Although the material value is not large, it shows the spirit of mutual affection and solidarity, the companionship of the trade union organization with union members.
In addition, the company's Trade Union is also proactively proposing to business leaders to consider having more appropriate forms of support, contributing to helping union member Nguyen Tan Vu soon overcome the difficult period, stabilize his life and feel secure in treatment and health recovery to soon return to work.
This activity continues to affirm the role of trade union organizations in caring for and protecting the rights and lives of workers.
From travel expense support to timely actions when workers encounter difficulties, it can be seen that care is not only limited to policies but also reflected in the way businesses and trade unions share very specific pressures in workers' lives.
In the context of fluctuating living costs, such supports not only help workers "breathe easier" in the short term, but more importantly, build trust and long-term commitment. And this is the foundation for businesses to stabilize production and develop sustainably.
