Ms. Pham Thi Thanh Tam - President of Vietnam Textile and Garment Trade Union - said that with the characteristics of low level of workers and low income compared to other industries, in implementing Action Program No. 399 of the Executive Committee of Vietnam General Confederation of Labor to implement Resolution 20-NQ/TW dated January 28, 2008 of the Central Committee of the Party (10th tenure) on "Continuing to build Vietnamese workers in the period of industrialization and modernization of the country", Vietnam Textile and Garment Trade Union has focused on activities to care for and protect the legitimate rights of workers.
The negotiation and signing of the Collective Labor Agreement of the industry are organized periodically; the effectiveness of the Legal Consulting Office is promoted; Tet Sum Vay - Workers' Festival - Charity Market are organized at 6 locations nationwide; activities to care for workers and their families such as giving savings books, rewarding children of workers who study well and other unexpected activities. These activities have supported workers in difficult times and encouraged them to make efforts in labor production.

To overcome this situation, the Vietnam Textile and Garment Trade Union has focused on training. The 2023-2028 term is the second consecutive term of the Construction Trade Union and has implemented one of the five major work programs called "Training, fostering, improving qualifications and adaptability for cadres, union members and workers".
Thereby, from the beginning of the previous term until now, the Industry Trade Union has directly organized 106 training courses at the grassroots trade unions with more than 4,700 participants with diverse content, not only professional but also soft skills. In particular, the Industry Trade Union has created a driving force for emulation in production labor through many movements and industry-level awards such as the Creative Labor Festival, the Skilled Worker Competition, the Nguyen Thi Sen Award, and the Typical Textile Family...
