Around 16,000 workers of Taiwanese-invested footwear maker Pou Chen Vietnam, a Nike contract manufacturer, have returned to work after four days of strike over Tet bonuses.

 

Nguyen Tan Phap, head of the labor union at Pou Chen Vietnam, located in Dong Nai’s capital town Bien Hoa, said Wednesday that most workers have returned to their stations, ending their strike. He did not elaborate.

 

The workers had struck work to protest the company’s decision to pay less bonus than last year for the Tet (Lunar New Year) festival. Tet, the most important festival in Vietnam, falls early February this year.
