00:00:12.434 --> 00:00:14.834 
You are following the trade union
newsletter of Lao Dong Newspaper, right 

00:00:14.834 --> 00:00:17.234 
now let's review the outstanding
information of the past week with us. 

00:00:19.054 --> 00:00:22.595 
Information from the Ho Chi Minh City
Department of Home Affairs said that by 

00:00:22.595 --> 00:00:26.389 
the end of December 25, 3,802 businesses
in Ho Chi Minh City reported on the 

00:00:26.389 --> 00:00:27.654 
salary progress situation in 2025. 

00:00:27.654 --> 00:00:31.207 
and the plan to reward workers during
the New Year and Lunar New 

00:00:31.207 --> 00:00:32.574 
Year of Binh Ngo 2026. 

00:00:33.074 --> 00:00:37.048 
For New Year's Day 2026, the average
bonus is about 1.93 million VND per 

00:00:37.048 --> 00:00:40.454 
person, an increase of 10.5% compared to
the survey results of 2025. 

00:00:40.454 --> 00:00:44.848 
For the Binh Ngo Lunar New Year 2026,
the average bonus is about 12.02 million 

00:00:44.848 --> 00:00:49.534 
VND per person, an increase of 6.8%
compared to the At Ty Lunar New Year 2025. 

00:00:51.454 --> 00:00:54.703 
New graduates are under great
competitive pressure in the labor market 

00:00:54.703 --> 00:00:59.134 
due to having to compete with
experienced workers in the context of businesses tightening recruitment. 

00:00:59.554 --> 00:01:02.674 
According to Mr. Vu Quang Thanh, Deputy
Director of Hanoi Employment Service 

00:01:02.674 --> 00:01:05.274 
Center, economic fluctuations have
caused many businesses to cut personnel, 

00:01:05.494 --> 00:01:08.634 
reduced enrollment while the number of
homeschool students is still high, 

00:01:08.634 --> 00:01:11.038 
at the same time, employers are
increasingly prioritizing experienced 

00:01:11.038 --> 00:01:12.374 
workers who can work immediately. 

00:01:14.154 --> 00:01:17.060 
The official New Year's holiday schedule
for civil servants and public employees 

00:01:17.060 --> 00:01:19.723 
lasts for 4 consecutive days, from
January 1st Thursday to the 

00:01:19.723 --> 00:01:20.934 
end of January 4th, Sunday, 

00:01:21.234 --> 00:01:25.374 
swapping from Friday, January 2nd to
Saturday, January 10th weekly holiday. 

00:01:25.834 --> 00:01:28.704 
Due to the change in the Gregorian New
Year holiday schedule, it may lead to 

00:01:28.704 --> 00:01:31.574 
changes in the pension payment schedule
and social insurance payroll because in the past time, 

00:01:31.574 --> 00:01:34.606 
Vietnam Social Security has directed
that social insurance agencies in 

00:01:34.606 --> 00:01:37.334 
provinces and cities directly transfer
money to pay pensions, 

00:01:37.614 --> 00:01:39.891 
directly issue monthly social insurance
through personal accounts to 

00:01:39.891 --> 00:01:42.674 
beneficiaries on the first and second
working days of the month. 

00:01:44.494 --> 00:01:47.965 
On December 27, Bao Thang Commune Trade
Union organized the opening ceremony of 

00:01:47.965 --> 00:01:50.634 
the 2025 worker, civil servant
and laborer breathing football tournament. 

00:01:51.374 --> 00:01:53.914 
Bao Thang commune's breathing football
tournament is an activity to celebrate 

00:01:53.914 --> 00:01:56.454 
the success of the first Lao Cai Provincial Trade Union Congress. 

00:01:56.454 --> 00:01:58.954 
Signed in 2025-2030. 

00:02:01.574 --> 00:02:03.998 
Supporting coaches from 7 teams
representing grassroots trade unions 

00:02:03.998 --> 00:02:05.614 
under Bao Thang Commune Trade Union. 

00:02:06.074 --> 00:02:08.634 
The atmosphere of competition between
the teams took place fiercely and excitingly. 

00:02:11.374 --> 00:02:15.094 
Near Tet, thousands of Pankovina workers
are worried when the business announces 

00:02:15.094 --> 00:02:17.574 
a production shutdown, making
spending pressure even heavier. 

00:02:20.279 --> 00:02:24.326 
In the last days of the year, the
factories of Pankovina Limited Company, 

00:02:24.326 --> 00:02:28.374 
Ben Cat Ward, Ho Chi Minh City are still
bright, workers are diligently 

00:02:28.374 --> 00:02:29.619 
working to complete orders. 

00:02:30.079 --> 00:02:34.235 
However, behind that production rhythm
is the anxiety of thousands of workers 

00:02:34.235 --> 00:02:36.659 
when businesses announce they will stop operating. 

00:02:36.799 --> 00:02:40.266 
Information comes at a time close to
Tet, causing many workers to abandon the 

00:02:40.266 --> 00:02:43.238 
five-story building, and they cannot
help but lose it completely due to 

00:02:43.238 --> 00:02:45.219 
concerns about the expenses for this Tet holiday. 

00:02:45.219 --> 00:02:49.179 
Therefore, workers long to have their
rights guaranteed to stabilize their 

00:02:49.179 --> 00:02:50.979 
lives and find new jobs. 

00:02:51.970 --> 00:02:56.730 
then I'm also at the market, so the
company's income is mostly because I 

00:02:56.730 --> 00:02:59.110 
also have young children in the countryside 

00:02:59.110 --> 00:03:02.824 
And having to study this and that, it's
just enough to cover expenses, but 

00:03:02.824 --> 00:03:04.150 
now it's hitting the company. 

00:03:04.150 --> 00:03:07.570 
then in general, your main source of
income is also the main source of income for that family 

00:03:07.570 --> 00:03:12.370 
so now he doesn't have it either, in
general, not very comfortable, 

00:03:12.370 --> 00:03:13.570 
so he also 

00:03:15.342 --> 00:03:18.162 
Also attached for 15 years now. 

00:03:18.422 --> 00:03:20.982 
But hearing such a
decision is really sad. 

00:03:21.222 --> 00:03:24.042 
Because I've been here for
a very long time too. 

00:03:24.302 --> 00:03:27.122 
And hearing that the company is very
sad, I also know the company is in great difficulty. 

00:03:27.622 --> 00:03:29.682 
And now Tet is also approaching. 

00:03:29.942 --> 00:03:31.222 
Workers are also in trouble. 

00:03:31.722 --> 00:03:33.782 
Just hope the company 

00:03:34.022 --> 00:03:38.642 
Give salary for the 13th month so that
workers have money to build offices for Tet 

00:03:38.902 --> 00:03:42.742 
Because now here I'm also in the market,
those roads are near Tet and I'm 

00:03:42.742 --> 00:03:44.022 
also looking for a job. 

00:03:44.030 --> 00:03:46.290 
Work also does not get a split spring. 

00:03:47.190 --> 00:03:51.818 
According to Pankovina Limited Liability
Company, the enterprise will produce 

00:03:51.818 --> 00:03:53.670 
until January 31, 2026. 

00:03:53.670 --> 00:03:57.330 
and operated from February 1, 2026. 

00:03:57.830 --> 00:04:00.964 
Mr. Nguyen Thanh Hoang, chairman of the
grassroots trade union, said that 

00:04:00.964 --> 00:04:02.270 
this is an irresistible decision. 

00:04:02.270 --> 00:04:07.010 
due to prolonged order drops after the
Covid-19 pandemic, not enough to maintain production, 

00:04:07.370 --> 00:04:10.050 
The plan to transfer to
foreign partners was also unsuccessful. 

00:04:10.050 --> 00:04:14.030 
The company department had to stop
operating, currently the labor relations here are stable, 

00:04:14.290 --> 00:04:17.490 
enterprises do not owe salaries, do not
owe social insurance to employees, 

00:04:17.870 --> 00:04:20.990 
workers still produce normally,
completing the company's orders. 

00:04:21.307 --> 00:04:25.413 
In general, due to the general situation
that after the Covid 

00:04:25.413 --> 00:04:26.907 
epidemic, its orders decreased. 

00:04:26.907 --> 00:04:31.787 
Well, Banco Tau Loc Banco, there are
currently 2 factories in Vietnam 

00:04:31.787 --> 00:04:35.247 
Well, the amount of airline orders is
enough to supply 2 places 

00:04:35.247 --> 00:04:39.447 
So it's a shortage situation 

00:04:39.447 --> 00:04:41.687 
So it is necessary to rearrange production labor 

00:04:41.687 --> 00:04:48.347 
Also linked to some large delegation
pairs who are likely to retake Banco 

00:04:48.347 --> 00:04:53.667 
As long as the order is tracked down in
a certain way, the unit will not continue negotiations. 

00:04:53.667 --> 00:04:57.647 
Leading to the situation that Banco
company has to make a final decision 

00:04:57.647 --> 00:05:00.627 
Put it on the system and
you have to stop working. 

00:05:01.132 --> 00:05:04.154 
Faced with the above situation, the
grassroots trade union has coordinated 

00:05:04.154 --> 00:05:06.352 
with department management departments to summarize workers' opinions, 

00:05:06.652 --> 00:05:09.897 
the employee proposed that the company
pay the 13th month salary, 

00:05:09.897 --> 00:05:11.372 
and the labor support policy, 

00:05:11.672 --> 00:05:15.466 
pregnancy registration, insurance
payment deadline, January 2026 

00:05:15.466 --> 00:05:17.092 
salary payment time 

00:05:17.092 --> 00:05:19.672 
and a 3-month basic salary severance allowance. 

00:05:20.152 --> 00:05:23.032 
Currently, the grassroots trade union
has sent a petition to the state 

00:05:23.032 --> 00:05:24.952 
director, the business is holding a state meeting, 

00:05:24.952 --> 00:05:28.812 
working with functional agencies and
will soon respond to workers. 

00:05:31.692 --> 00:05:35.212 
Ladies and gentlemen, in today's legal
advice, your question in the next issue is as follows. 

00:05:35.832 --> 00:05:38.699 
How will people participating in the
security and order protection force at 

00:05:38.699 --> 00:05:41.326 
the grassroots level who have not
participated in health insurance but 

00:05:41.326 --> 00:05:44.192 
have pain pipes, accidents, or injuries
while performing their duties be supported? 

00:05:44.512 --> 00:05:47.510 
To help her better understand the above
issue, lawyer Nguyen Van Hau, Standing 

00:05:47.510 --> 00:05:50.278 
Committee Member, Head of the Media
Agency of the Vietnam Bar Federation, 

00:05:50.278 --> 00:05:51.892 
will help us answer it immediately below. 

00:05:53.242 --> 00:05:57.102 
Participants in the security and order
protection force at the grassroots level 

00:05:57.102 --> 00:06:00.102 
if these people have not
participated in health insurance 

00:06:00.102 --> 00:06:05.082 
but these people are sick or have
accidents, are injured 

00:06:05.082 --> 00:06:08.022 
then when performing the
task, if qualified 

00:06:08.022 --> 00:06:13.842 
and not falling under the cases
specified in Decree No. 40 

00:06:13.842 --> 00:06:17.702 
then Decree 40 was issued in 2024 

00:06:17.702 --> 00:06:22.082 
which stipulates that these people are
entitled to medical examination fees 

00:06:22.082 --> 00:06:26.902 
medical treatment costs equal to the
health insurance benefit level for the force 

00:06:26.902 --> 00:06:29.262 
participate in grassroots security and order 

00:06:29.262 --> 00:06:33.882 
and are supported with daily meals of
70,000 VND per person per day 

00:06:33.882 --> 00:06:38.302 
in the barracks until health is stable 

00:06:40.255 --> 00:06:41.775 
Thank you for the lawyer's recent answers. 

00:06:42.095 --> 00:06:46.455 
We will continue to receive your
question, reader of the full-text mailbox a.laodong.com.vn 

00:06:46.455 --> 00:06:50.455 
And now the program time is over. See
you audiences again in the following hours.
