After nearly a day of dialogue, the Company promised to soon resolve some benefits for workers such as increasing meal allowance from 12,000 VND to 15,000 VND/meal starting from October 2016, repairing the toilet system, installing additional timekeeping card swiping machines...

Previously, the workers said that the current quota was too high, forcing them to work very hard, while the salary and bonuses were not commensurate.
