Chairman of the Trade Union of Cu Thanh Co., Ltd., Ly Xe Ba, said that starting from the 5th day of the Lunar New Year, workers came to the company to work. Up to now, nearly 100% of employees have worked at production lines. Currently, the company has a lot of orders and has just signed new orders until 2023, so it is promoting the emulation movement to complete the orders in the first quarter of 2022.

Together with enterprises to stabilize production

According to the Provincial Confederation of Labor, by February 9, the average rate of workers returning to work at enterprises reached more than 96%. The workers who have not yet worked are mostly in remote provinces and have applied for leave in advance. The rate of workers returning to work after the Lunar New Year Holiday is high, helping businesses stabilize production from the beginning of the year. In large, labor-intensive enterprises, over 98% of employees have returned to work and are also increasing recruitment to meet production needs. For small and medium enterprises, the rate of workers returning to work is nearly 100%.

A representative of the Department's Policy and Law under the provincial Confederation of Labor said that the rate of workers returning to work after Tet Holiday is higher than every year due to the prolonged situation of the Covid-19 epidemic in 2021, many employees are underemployed, and their incomes decreased, so the last Tet Holiday, workers returned to their hometown to celebrate Tet with their families less than in previous years. According to reports of the provincial Confederation of Labor, about 122,000 foreign workers return to their hometown to celebrate Tet Holiday with their families, accounting for 17.4% of employees in enterprises. On the other hand, with a large number of employees staying, 86 enterprises have arranged for over 15,000 employees to work on Tet Holidays. That is also the reason that in the first working week of the year, workers go to work quite fully at enterprises.

Ms. Le Thi Thanh Nguyet, Chairwoman of Long Thanh District Confederation of Labor, said that by February 7 (the 7th day of Lunar New Year), in the district, there were 256 out of 269 businesses back in operation with nearly 51,000 employees came to the company to work, reaching the rate of 98%. Compared to previous years, earlier this year, the number of workers returning to work was earlier and more numerous. This has great significance for the recovery and development of businesses after the impact of the epidemic. With a fast recovery momentum, large consumption demand, and an abundant and adequate workforce like today, enterprises hope to soon achieve their production targets and plans in 2022.
