More than 1,000 workers from a foreign-invested Taiwanese company in the northern province of Ninh Binh have returned to work after three-day strike over low Tet bonuses.

The workers gathered to oppose the company's low Tet bonuses on January 5


Meanwhile, the company announced that the Tet 2020 bonus would be equal to just half a month's basic salary for people who had worked for a year or more. Those who had worked for the firm for less than a year were to be offered a much lower bonus.

Tran Kim Long, deputy vice-chairman of Ninh Binh’s labour federation, said that the agency worked with the company about the case. After that, the firm agreed to provide Tet bonuses of a month’s basic salary for workers working for at least one year and a percentage of the monthly salary for others, depending on their experience.

After the information was reported to the workers, they returned to work on January 6 afternoon.

Ever Great International Footwear Company, which has an initial investment of VND224 billion (USD9.73 million), has operated since September last year.
