Mid-shift meals for workers in companies and businesses play a crucial role, directly affecting the health of workers as well as labor productivity; the competition is a practical activity that provides an opportunity for union officials and members to showcase their talents in taking care of mid-shift meals.

Regarding the District Labor Union, in the coming period, it will direct grassroots trade unions to strengthen the inspection and supervision of workers' meals at enterprises, striving to raise the meal allowance for workers to 13,000 - 14,000 VND/meal in 2017, and to reach 15,000 VND/meal by the end of 2018, in accordance with the spirit of Resolution 7C of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor.
