Earlier this month close to 6,000 garment workers at the S&H Vina Co. Ltd factory in Thanh Hoa province went on a wildcat strike to demand higher wages and better working conditions. The spark for the strike was the confiscation by a supervisor, of the offcuts that workers used for comfort during the lunch break. The workers then demanded a number of improvements including better wages, shorter working hours, better breaks and improved social welfare benefits. The workers returned to work after the intervention from the General Confederation of Labor of Vietnam promising to negotiate with the employers.
