Convenient "breast milk pumping and storage room" right at the company
After nearly 6 years of operation, the "Breast milk collection and storage room" model of Dream Plastic Company Limited (Truc Ninh district, Nam Dinh province) has brought practical benefits, directly serving many female employees of the company.
Ms. Pham Thi Huong - Chairwoman of the company's Trade Union said that currently, the number of female employees working at the company is about 3,000 people, of which 2,400 are female employees of childbearing age and 70 are female employees raising young children.
Based on the actual situation, the company's management and union have built a model of "Breast milk collection and storage room" to support female workers when they return to work after maternity leave. For the convenience of female workers, the breast milk collection room is located opposite the medical room and is less than 5 minutes walk from the workers' work area.
“Installing a milking and storage room at the company is one of our company's effective investments to ensure the best life for female workers,” Ms. Huong emphasized.
Taking advantage of her lunch break, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hien (a worker in assembly department A) went down to express milk. Ms. Hien shared: “After giving birth, I went back to work, but because my house was far from the company, I did not go home at noon. Instead, before going to eat, I asked the team leader for a 15-minute break to express milk”. Similarly, at Maxport Limited Viet Nam Co., Ltd. - Nam Dinh Branch, the model of “Breast milk collection and storage room” was also formed to meet and care for female employees who are raising young children...
Health check-up model for female workers
According to the Nam Dinh Provincial Federation of Labor, there are currently about 162,000 workers in the province, of which 102,000 are female workers. Since 2017, Nam Dinh Provincial Unions at all levels have maintained and implemented the “your health” model to promote health care and the lives of female workers.
Recently, the Nam Dinh Provincial Federation of Labor organized the "Your Health" model to communicate, examine, and provide free health consultation for 600 female employees working at Dream Plastic Company Limited (Truc Ninh district).
Mr. Vu Quang Huy - Vice Chairman of the Nam Dinh Provincial Federation of Labor - said that the model "your health" has been deployed at many grassroots unions in the province, through the model to better care for the health of workers. From such models, workers have more understanding and grasp of their health status to know how to take care of their health appropriately to ensure the best service for production and work, improving the quality of life of themselves and their families.
