Workers stick to the construction site, work overtime to stabilize income

At the Trade Union social housing construction site in Giao Long commune (Vinh Long province), many workers are working continuously in shifts to keep up with the general progress. Although working conditions are still hard, they still maintain a stable working pace, ensuring that construction items are deployed synchronously.

Mr. Le Van Linh, from An Giang, said that the work at the construction site is quite heavy, especially on prolonged hot days. However, he still tries to stick to it because his income ranges from about 500-800 thousand VND per day.

Mr. Nguyen Van Manh, from Hung Yen, shared that what keeps him attached is not only his work but also the spirit of solidarity at the construction site. In labor, workers regularly support and remind each other to complete the work.

“Brothers here live very emotionally, if there is anything difficult, we help each other. Thanks to that, even when away from home, working hard, we still feel comfortable and assured to stick with each other for a long time,” Mr. Manh said.

Proactively overcome difficulties, maintain construction progress

At the construction site, many workers from different provinces and cities gathered to build the project. Whether working in hot weather or sudden rains, they still persistently stick to the construction site.

During working hours, everyone always supports, reminds and helps each other complete each task. Sharing from the smallest things helps workers overcome difficulties, creating a positive working spirit.
