According to the VNPT Trade Union (under the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology), to strengthen disaster prevention and control, the VNPT Trade Union has issued a document requesting affiliated grassroots trade unions to proactively coordinate with professional departments to effectively implement solutions to prevent, respond to and overcome the consequences of natural disasters, contributing to protecting the lives, health and jobs of union members and workers.
Accordingly, grassroots trade unions directly under VNPT Trade Union need to focus on implementing 6 key tasks: Promoting propaganda and dissemination of the Party's guidelines, policies and laws of the State on disaster prevention and control; raising awareness and skills in preventing and responding to extreme weather for union members and workers; strengthening the application of digital platforms and social networks to promptly transmit warning information and guide disaster prevention skills; trade union organizations continue to promote their role as professional companions in ensuring safety at workplaces; inspecting safety conditions for factories, warehouses, vehicles, equipment and service networks; promoting the role of safety networks and sanitation workers in detecting, warning and handling unsafe risks caused by natural disasters.
VNPT Trade Union also noted another important task that grassroots trade unions should pay attention to caring for union members and workers affected by natural disasters; proactively grasp the situation, promptly visit, encourage and propose support for union members facing difficulties; prioritize cases of heavy damage to people, property, housing or jobs, and coordinate to mobilize resources to help union members soon stabilize their lives.
Trade unions at all levels strengthen coordination with Party committees, authorities, professional departments at the same level and relevant agencies in disaster prevention, response and recovery; strictly implement information and reporting regimes so that VNPT Trade Unions can promptly grasp the situation, direct and deploy support activities when necessary.
