These are grassroots trade union officials, grassroots trade unions whose families face many difficulties; themselves or their spouses, children suffer from occupational diseases, serious illnesses, and have to be treated for many days due to illness.
Grassroots trade union officials have low incomes due to difficult production and business, reduced working hours, prolonged wage arrears, damage caused by storms, floods, epidemics, and unexpected events; stay in the city, do not return to their hometowns for Tet to work, work, and produce.
