Not only responsibility but also companionship with workers

Linh Nguyên |

The Trade Union of PetroVietnam Transportation Corporation (PVTrans) is a unit under the Vietnam Oil and Gas Trade Union, currently having 12 grassroots trade unions. Due to the nature of operations in the maritime transport sector, over 75% of the trade union members are seafarers - those who have to work at sea, each shift on board usually lasts from 06 to 10 months. That is also the time when seafarers are away from their families.

Therefore, PVTrans Trade Union has implemented activities suitable to the specific work of employees, thereby clearly showing that the trade union not only operates according to its role and responsibility but also a companion with employees in all circumstances. One of those activities is visiting and wishing a happy new year to crew members and their families and organizing activities to take care of the New Year on ships or at the crew's workplace. These activities are not only carried out by the Corporation Trade Union but also the joint efforts and attention of 100% of the grassroots trade unions under the Corporation Trade Union. On the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2025, the grassroots trade unions have visited the homes and given New Year gifts to some crew members' families; wished a happy new year and lucky money to the children of crew members; wished a happy new year and sent New Year gift baskets to ships. In addition, conferences were also held to honor crew members and give Tet gifts... Grassroots unions organized about 45 Tet care activities for over 2,700 crew members with a budget of over 4 billion VND...

PVTrans Union pays special attention to and takes care of the crew members’ families at home when they are working on ships on special occasions. There was a case where a crew member’s wife gave birth while her husband was not at home, and PVTrans Union officials were ready to go to the hospital to support. Whenever a crew member’s family had work or encountered difficulties, union officials were always ready to be there, share, and help.

With activities organized and implemented based on the needs of union members and workers, PVTrans Union has truly become a support, a place to share joys and sorrows of crew members. To achieve this, besides the attention and direction of the entire political system, the important factor is the heart, enthusiasm, and sincere feelings that union officials have for crew members.

The activities of PVTrans Union have created and spread spiritual support, becoming an emotional connection between the mainland and the sea. Because each activity is practical and timely, it helps crew members feel secure in their work, have more motivation to work and be more attached to PVTrans.
