Three kindergartens have been established to take care of over 580 children of the local IP workers. Five companies have financially supported workers to cover tuition fees for their kindergarten-aged children, and five others designated a room for female workers to extract and store their breast milk.

IP enterprises have basically complied well with labour laws and regulations, particularly in terms of wages and welfare benefits.

As the COVID-19 pandemic has been affecting the life of IP workers in the province, the provincial Trade Union has closely cooperated with relevant authorities to settle labour issues caused by the pandemic, abd the provincial Labour Conferderation presented 3,000 anti-bacterial masks and 200 hand sanitisers to enterprises at Luong Son IP and Da River Left Bank IP. The Labour Conferderation has also donated 30 million VND to several other companies to help them purchase masks and hand sanitisers for their workers./.
