Dong Nai Trade Union helps deceased workers win nearly 200 million VND in lawsuit

On September 25, information from the Trade Union Legal Consulting Center (Dong Nai Provincial Labor Federation) said that the unit had just provided legal support to workers, Mr. T.H.H, Trang Dai Ward, Dong Nai Province (who died on June 26, 2025) and the heirs to the rights and obligations of workers in litigation, won a lawsuit.

According to the Trade Union Legal Consulting Center, the People's Court of Region 1 - Dong Nai has just issued a notice of acceptance of the workers' counter-suit request and rejected all of the company's lawsuit requests.

At the trial, the Trial Council determined that the company's lawsuit was unfounded. Accepting the employee's counter-prolaim request, Tien Che Z Steel Company Limited (amata Industrial Park, Dong Nai Province) was forced to pay an amount equivalent to the amount of unemployment insurance; unemployment salary during the period of not being assigned work under labor contracts to the employee, with a total amount of 186 million VND.

Previously, in April 2023, Mr. H received a notice from Tien Che Z Steel Company Limited to file a lawsuit demanding Mr. H to compensate 75 million VND because he thought that Mr. H had voluntarily quit his job for a total of 135 days in 2021 and 2022.

Realizing that the lawsuit against Tien Che Z Steel Company Limited for compensation was unfounded, Mr. H did not quit his job on his own but because the company did not arrange work for him after the company ended the "3 on-site" production plan to prevent the COVID-19 epidemic.

During the time of not arranging work, the company did not agree to pay Mr. H. At the same time, after Mr. H quit his job, the company did not promptly close and return the social insurance book to Mr. H, leading to Mr. H being unable to register to receive unemployment benefits.

Therefore, Mr. H filed a counter-suit requesting the People's Court of Bien Hoa City (formerly) to consider not accepting all lawsuit requests of Tien Che Z Steel Company Limited and forced this company to pay the rights to the employees.
