This year, along with a series of meaningful activities worth more than 30 billion VND to take care of employees in the Workers' Month carried out by Trade Union at all levels, with the attention and care of provincial leaders, many trade unions in the province have create many heartwarming activities for employees.

I have come to Chi Hung Co., Ltd. and worked for a few months, I did not expect to be taken care of so much."

After her husband's death, Ms. Hoa left Ho Chi Minh City, brought her two young children to Binh Duong to apply for a job. Due to being a newcomer, her salary is not high, just over 5 million VND/month. Trade Union of the company knew about the pitiful situation of Ms. Hoa and provided support. “Thanks to the company, my two children are exempt from tuition fees. The company’s trade union often gives gifts and money, so my family have enough money to cover living expenses. Previously, when I worked in another place, my family didn't get that much care," said Ms. Hoa.

We have to raise two children, the oldest of whom is in college. Therefore, when I got sick, it was very difficult. At that time, I was supported by the company's trade union with more than 20 million VND from the "Golden Heart Fund", the rest was donated by friends and colleagues. Now my health condition is better, I can work again, and I want to thank the company", Ms. Dinh said.
