Funded by the company’s trade union budget, each meal was valued at 63,000 VND (2.4 USD), 30,000 VND higher than the regular daily meal allowance.
Workers could choose from four menus featuring dishes such as grilled fish with galangal, boiled pork belly, stuffed squash with meat, salted chicken, stir-fried beef, tofu stuffed with meat, mushroom-fried bok choy and beef soup. Fruit and drinking yogurt were also included.
Samsung SDI Vietnam manufactures batteries for mobile phones, handheld devices and electric vehicles. The company currently employs nearly 1,800 workers, with average monthly incomes of nearly 11 million VND per person.
Speaking at the event, Vu Anh Duc praised the company’s business achievements during nearly 17 years of operation in Bac Ninh Province and commended the firm’s trade union activities.
He said the union had effectively represented and protected workers’ legitimate rights while also coordinating with the company to promote emulation movements and sustainable development initiatives.
Under the slogan “Skilled labour, high productivity, good income,” the labour federation will continue encouraging workers to contribute initiatives and improve productivity to support both enterprise growth and local economic development, he added.
