Salary increase - Special Tet for workers

Leaving her hometown of Can Tho to Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Binh Duong province) to start a business, Ms. Nguyen Thi Tam - a worker at Yazaki EDS Vietnam Co., Ltd. - could not hide her excitement when mentioning Tet. For her, this is a special year when her income has improved significantly.

"Everyone is happy to have a basic salary increase. This increase not only helps us reduce our worries about living expenses but is also a great motivation to work. In particular, this year's Tet bonus is higher than last year, so the gift baskets to bring back to the countryside will definitely be more complete and neat," said Ms. Tam.

In Can Tho, the atmosphere of preparation for Tet in industrial parks is equally bustling. Ms. Le Nguyen Nhi - a worker at TKG Taekwang Can Tho Co., Ltd. - considers the Tet gift from the Union and the company as a great comfort both spiritually and materially.

According to Ms. Nhi, the bonus in 2026 is much higher than last year, helping her be more bold in shopping for her family.

Sharing the same happiness, Mr. Tran Hoai Thanh - who has been with TKG Taekwang Can Tho Co., Ltd. for nearly 4 years - called this "the most special Tet holiday". In addition to increasing the regional minimum wage, he also received annual salary increases and seniority and housing allowances.

Mr. Thanh confided: "Each increase, whether it is only a few hundred or a few tens of thousands of VND, has great significance for workers. The Tet gift from the Union and the company also helped me save an extra amount on shopping. Thanks to that, my children have new clothes, the family has some more jams to welcome Spring, I feel extremely warm".

In order to contribute to the joy and warmth during the Lunar New Year 2026, TKG Taekwang Can Tho Co., Ltd. and the unit's Trade Union have coordinated to organize gift giving to union members and workers. The gift giving is divided into 2 batches, including rice and essential necessities.

In addition, the company also encourages employees to work as employees. Employees who have received a full bonus for 12 months will be rewarded with an additional VND 250,000, in addition to the Tet bonus.

Can Tho City Labor Federation (CLF) said that on the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2026, the city's Trade Unions at all levels will organize many activities to care for union members and workers.

With the motto "All union members and workers have Tet, enjoy Tet", city-level care activities will include many outstanding programs such as visiting, giving gifts, wishing a happy Tet to union members and workers in difficult circumstances, low income; the program "Union Tet Market - Spring 2026" directly and online; organizing bus trips or supporting bus tickets, train tickets to take and pick up workers to their hometowns to celebrate Tet; program accompanying businesses, grassroots unions and in social security work...

For the grassroots level, units will organize the program "Tet Sum Vay"; visit, give gifts, and wish Tet to union members and employees; activities to celebrate Spring, celebrate Tet, visit, and encourage union members and employees who do not have the opportunity to return home for Tet...
