Ty Xuan Co. Ltd. and Union Support Workers With Severe Illnesses
Labor unions at Ty Xuan Co., Ltd. in Binh Duong raised over 103 million dong for a breast cancer-diagnosed sewing department manager named Dang Thi Ngoc Duyen in 2023, Báo Lao Động reported.
- Ty Xuan Co., Ltd. employs nearly 20,000 workers and maintains a severe illness support initiative managed by its labor union.
- The company and its labor union allocated over 1.4 billion dong annually between 2020 and 2026 to assist workers facing life-threatening medical conditions.
Duyen faced immediate treatment discontinuation in 2023 when she exhausted her financial reserves during her third medication cycle for breast cancer.
“When I was doing the 3rd drug dose, the money ran out and I thought I had to give up, but thanks to the timely support of the trade union, I have lived until now,” Duyen told Báo Lao Động.
Duong Thi Dieu, an 11-year employee originally from Soc Trang, received joint financial support from her employer and the labor union after contracting cancer under difficult household circumstances.
“Thanks to the timely help, I have the opportunity to continue living and raising my child,” Dieu told Báo Lao Động.
Ty Xuan Co., Ltd. trade union chairman Le Van Tien said that the organization coordinates rapidly with company executives whenever a member receives a terminal or severe disease diagnosis to process documentation and secure enterprise-wide donations.
“We try to deliver the money as soon as possible so that patients have more money for treatment costs,” Tien told Báo Lao Động. “Besides financial support, the trade union also takes care of accommodation, necessities, and spiritual life to help union members peace of mind in treatment and stabilize their lives.”
Company deputy director Nguyen Viet Trung said that the executive board continually approves welfare proposals submitted by union leaders to address severe health crises among the workforce.
“The Board of Directors always cares about and creates conditions and timely approves appropriate care proposals to improve the lives of workers,” Trung told Báo Lao Động.
