Modern life requires women to fulfill their responsibilities both at work and in family. In recent years, provincial female workers have engaged actively in emulation movement of “Good at state affairs, responsible for family affairs” in order to construct well-off, equal, advanced, happy families and a prosperous, civilized Binh Duong province.
“Two goods” in the new era
Fulfilling both two responsibilities is not an easy task, because life has changed. Their jobs require higher and more qualifications, and bringing up children is also different from the past. Therefore, each woman has to keep striving.
Ms. Pham Thi Thanh Hong, who is Female work board of Binh Duong Tribeco Company’s Trade Union, is an example. She has worked at the company for tens of year. With any positions, she always fulfills her duties. As a result, besides commendation from the company, she was the only representative for her company to receive certificate of merit “Proficient, creative worker” from PPC.
