Regarding training, later we drew a line in the sand and said,
“if you want us to work better, then we ought to receive training.”
The port then approved it and organized it,
so that we could leave one hour early twice a week,
so we could go to school.
It was the first time that a small group of workers demanded it.
We were contract workers from Saigon.
Young people made the demand, and it was approved by the port,
and also accepted by the Vietnamese authorities.
