The party promises to be more exciting when the company's amateur singers will show off their voice and employees will participate in a lucky draw program with a total gift value of more than 250 million VND.

Luong Nhat Huy, cold rolling worker of Maruichi Sun Steel Joint Stock Company, shared: “The company takes good care of us workers. Every year the company holds a year-end party and has many incentives for skilled workers and product improvement initiatives. This year, the company has a high Tet bonus so we are very pleased. Over the years, we continued to return to the company."

Localities join hands to take care of workers

In the days approaching Tet, in Thu Dau Mot City, trade unions at all levels coordinate closely with local authorities and lodging houses’ owners to take care of workers staying in Binh Duong during Tet holidays.

Some landlords also exempt or reduce room rent, electricity and water bills to help poor and disadvantaged workers. Tet meal programs continue to be organized by wards for workers who cannot afford to return home to celebrate Tet. Le Hoai An, born in Nghe An province, said: "It's been a long time since I went home to celebrate Tet with my family. The saddest thing is when I see everyone preparing to go home to celebrate Tet.
