Mr. Nguyen Dang Tien, Chairman of Company Labor Union said at the workers conference that annually, the Company put one more criterion into the annual resolutions: the number of houses built of gratitude - love and other charitable contributions. In particular, besides Company's contributions, there is also contribution of the employees from the units, departments, workshops through the Labor Union of departments. Each department union has different models and modes of movement to attract the resources for contribution to this activity. In particular, the movement to call for contribution to the construction of houses of gratitude and sentiment for families under preferential treatment policy, poor families in local and remote areas, and old war site, etc. receive much contribution from the staff. Every year, each department union registers specific content and targets. The unit Labor Union with largest number of union members such as pack winding workshops (previously soft and hard pack workshop) and business unit  register 2 to 3 houses of gratitude; The unit Labor Union with small number of union members such as yarn factory, material warehouse, Service unit registered one house. Then all the staffs get in agreement and contribute their monthly salary after Pay period or partly deduct an amount of money from the bonus in holidays to contribute to the fund.
