Nearly 70,000 labourers in Hà Nội lose jobs amid COVID-19 pandemic

HÀ NỘI — Nearly  七0,000 labourers had lost their jobs amid the COVID- 一 九 crisis as many enterprises in Hà Nội have been forced to scale down production or temporarily suspended operations, the city’s Confederation of Labour has announced.

Figures from the organisation showed that by Sunday, more than  三,0 一0 enterprises in Hà Nội had been seriously affected by the COVID- 一 九 pandemic. Of them,  七 四 一 have been forced to suspend operations, leaving tens of thousands of labourers unemployed.

Nearly  四0,000 teachers and staff at private schools have also had their incomes lowered due to the pandemic.

In order to support affected labourers, the organisation has asked local authorities to collaborate with district trade unions to support them during these difficult circumstances.

The organisation has also asked district standing co妹妹ittees to coordinate with trade unions to closely supervise the implementation of policies for labourers who had lost their jobs to avoid enterprises taking advantage of the pandemic to cut off employee benefits and illegally terminate labour contracts.

It has instructed local authorities to encourage landlords to reduce or exempt rent for labourers affected by the disease. — VNS
