Dong Nai worker beaten by South Korean manager

Nhon Trach Industrial Park police station head Vu Dinh Thanh said he was investigating an incident in which a local worker, Nguyen Thi Anh Thu, was attacked by her South Korean manager.

"We've had a meeting with Seon Chang Hwa, director of the sales department at the OT Motor Vina Company and he admitted that he hit Nguyen Thi Anh Thu on the head due to an argument at work."

The 32-year-old worker is still being treated at the Long Thanh General Hospital.

Earlier the worker's husband, Nguyen Tan Dung informed the police about his wife being hospitalised after being attacked at her workplace on the morning of February 28. Dung said that his wife had just returned to work after maternity leave and their child was now only seven months old.

In his complaint sent to the police, the man said that Seon Chang Hwa punched Thu in the face and kicked her as she fell on the floor. He then caught her hair and pulled her along for about a metre until some other staff members prevented him. The case was recorded by the security camera in the area.

The Nhon Trach District Federation of Labour is co-operating with local police in the investigation.
