Factory Management in Vietnam,It’s All Reflected in COVID-19.

Recently, an employee at a Taiwanese factory in Binh Duong province of southeastern Vietnam was confirmed to have been infected with the New Coronavirus. Upon learning the news, the factory ordered the closure of the premises so that all employees could be tested for nucleic acid. Workers, meanwhile, were horrified and hundreds of people forced open the factory’s iron gates and fled.

Vietnam has been affected by the mutated virus Delta, which has caused a new outbreak since late April this year. Most of the cases are now coming from Ho Chi Minh City, where the outbreak is most severe, and the city has been put under a full city closure and public transport has been completely shut down.

Binh Duong province, where the Taiwanese factory is located, is only about 50 kilometres from Ho Chi Minh and is also the hardest hit by the new crown outbreak. The province is currently conducting mass testing for residents of rental flats. The Taiwanese factory worker who was found to have been diagnosed this time was found during the mass testing, along with her parents who live with her, while it is not yet known if any of her colleagues at the factory have been infected.

The current state of the epidemic in Vietnam is quite serious, early detection/ isolation/treatment is the right attitude to take in the face of the new crown epidemic. However, when the factory workers heard about the closure for testing, instead of choosing to obey the instructions of the local government and the factory, they chose to run away at the first opportunity. This speaks volumes about the extreme distrust of the Vietnamese underclass towards the local government and factory leaders, and about the worrying management of Taiwanese factories in Vietnam. It is irresponsible to oneself, one’s family and society to flee in such a way. But if none of the “leaders” can be trusted, then it is not surprising that the workers have made such a choice.
