More than 3,000 workers at the Minh Phu-Hau Giang Seafood Processing Company in Chau Thanh District in the Mekong Delta province of Hau Giang stopped work on 27 January to demand for Tet bonus.
They congregated in front of the Nam Song Hau Industrial Zone, where the company is located, and asked the company leaders to pay them a full month salary as Tet bonus, same as in last several years. The company now gives them half a month salary as bonus.
At 10 a.m. on the same day, Tran Cong Chanh, chairman of the provincial People’s Committee came to Nam Song Hau Industrial Zone, to listen to the workers.
