Support 1,010 Trade Union Shelters during Workers' Month
The activity of supporting and building a Trade Union Shelter (MACD) for union members and workers (DV, NLD) of the Vietnam Trade Union is a practical caring activity with profound humanitarian significance. The donation of MACD housing has become a regular activity, familiar to members and employees, bearing the strong mark of the Trade Union organization.
According to the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, in Workers' Month 2025 alone (May 2025), Vietnam Trade Unions at all levels supported union members and employees with 1,010 MCD with a total amount of more than 24 billion VND. Of which, the Vietnam Trade Union of Industry and Trade awarded 10 MCD with a total value of VND 500 million to members and employees of 4 affiliated units (Vietnam Chemical Industry Trade Union, Vietnam Steel Corporation Trade Union, Vietnam Paper Corporation Trade Union, Vietnam Agricultural Machinery and Power Machinery Corporation Trade Union).
Vietnam Electricity Trade Union at all levels supported 24 "MOCD", with a total amount of 740 million VND (the support amount is at least 30 million VND/unit and the maximum is 60 million VND/unit). The Vietnam Coal and Mineral Industries Group (TKV) has worked with units to review families that are eligible to build and repair houses according to the criteria of the Trade Union Shelter Fund to consider support; in May 2025, it reviewed and decided to support funding for building new and repairing houses for 12 units and employees (10 newly built houses, 2 repaired houses) with a total amount of 840 million VND. The Hai Phong City Labor Federation has awarded support for 31 MCD, an increase of 6 MCD compared to Workers' Month in 2024...
During Workers' Month 2025, the MACD of Ms. Le Thi Huong (born in 1972, a worker at Tohoku Pioneer Company Limited) was completed and put into use. Ms. Huong is one of the workers in difficult circumstances at the OEM speaker manufacturing department, Tohoku Pioneer Co., Ltd.
Sharing the difficulties of Ms. Huong and her children, the Trade Union of Tohoku Pioneer Company Limited has proposed that the Trade Union of Hai Phong Economic Zone support the construction of a new Trade Union Shelter for Ms. Huong. At the launching ceremony of Workers' Month 2025, the Hai Phong Economic Zone Trade Union presented 50 million VND to support the MICD.
"Receiving gifts from the Trade Union organization on the occasion of Workers' Month is extremely meaningful to me. I hope that many workers in difficult circumstances will be supported by the City Labor Union" - Ms. Huong said emotionally.
There will be more units and employees supported
In June 2025, authorized by the Vietnam Electricity Trade Union, the Tra Vinh Electricity Company Trade Union organized a ceremony to attach signs to 4 MICD houses for 4 members and employees: Bui Van Hung, working at the Inspection - Legal Department; Nguyen Huu Khoi, Trade Union of Cau Ngang Power Management Team); Son Thai Giang, Trade Union of Tra Cu Power Management Team; Nguyen Van Len, Trade Union of Tra Cu Power Management Team.
According to the representative of Tra Vinh Power Company, 4 union members and employees who received MICD support are all in very difficult circumstances, their families depend on their own income, have to support their elderly parents who are often sick, their wives are unemployed, their children are still young and go to school, and they are having difficulties with housing... Each union member is supported with 60 million VND to build a "MICD" - a total cost of 240 million VND.
On June 17, also in Tra Vinh, the Vietnam Electricity Trade Union held a ceremony to attach MACD signs to 2 members and employees, Mr. Mai Loc Bach, Cau Ngang Electricity worker and Mr. Thi Quoc Dung, Cang Long Electricity worker, under Tra Vinh Electricity Company. The total support budget is 120 million VND (each house is supported with 60 million VND).
The members and employees who were awarded the Trade Union Shelter expressed their gratitude to the Vietnam Electricity Trade Union and colleagues in the electricity industry for sharing support, creating conditions for their families to have a new, spacious house and promised to try to work better and complete their assigned tasks well.
At the signing ceremony of the MICD handover, Mr. Do Duc Hung - Chairman of the Vietnam Electricity Trade Union - congratulated the members and employees on having a solid new house to "set up a business"; at the same time, he hoped that the members and employees would be supported to continue to strive to improve their lives, actively completing their professional work well...
From now until the end of 2025, the Vietnam Electricity Trade Union will continue to implement the MICD program to have more units and employees receive support - thereby motivating employees to stabilize their lives and increasingly believe in the mission of the Vietnam Trade Union in general and all levels of the Trade Union in EVN Group in particular - Mr. Do Duc Hung shared.
