5,000 workers stopped working: Increased food allowance, production bonus

Viet Glory Company Limited (specializing in manufacturing leather shoes for export, located in Dien Truong Commune, Dien Chau District, Nghe An) has sent 3 consecutive notices to the company's workers. This move was made after 6 consecutive days of more than 5,000 workers collectively stopping work.

In this announcement, the company said that the international order situation has shown signs of recovery but is still not positive, customers require the company to have more competitive prices and better product quality. Because of insufficient orders, the company has had to cut working hours, so workers' income has also been affected.
