He listened to suggestions to improve their material and spiritual lives. Thanks to great efforts, the Corporation drove its total output of coal up from 6 million tonnes in 2004 to 44.5 million tonnes in 2012. This year, it will take drastic measures to stabilise production and maintain jobs and income for workers. At the same time, it will step up consumption and practice thrift to improve working efficiency. In the first quarter of this year, it expects to churn out 11.7 million tonnes of coal and sell 10.7 million tonnes. During the period, the group hopes to earn 24 trillion dong (1.2 billion USD) in revenue and contribute over 2.6 trillion dong (130 million USD) to the State budget. Each worker is expected to earn an average of 7.6 million dong (360 USD) per month. Source: VNA
