Clear imprints after the merger
2025 marks an important turning point in trade union organization and activities. After arrangement, the number of union members and grassroots trade unions has fluctuated due to adjustments in location and organization. However, with a proactive and flexible spirit, the whole province has quickly stabilized with 679 grassroots trade unions, gathering 70,139 workers, civil servants, and laborers.
This result shows the great efforts of trade union levels in both consolidating the organization and maintaining and developing union members, ensuring that activities are not interrupted. Union member development work continues to be identified as a key task, associated with the theme "Focusing on developing union members, participating in building a clean and strong Party". Trade union levels have promoted propaganda and mobilized workers to join the organization; and at the same time proactively reviewed and exploited development resources, especially in the non-state business sector.
Along with that, the trade union system is arranged in a streamlined and effective direction. The Provincial Labor Federation has established 11 commune and ward trade unions and transferred grassroots trade unions to operate according to the area, contributing to improving linkage and closeness to grassroots levels. This model has initially been effective, helping the Trade Union organization become closer to workers, promptly grasping and supporting difficult cases.
Creating resources from trade union finance
Along with consolidating the organization, trade union financial work, especially collecting trade union fees, continues to be focused on. Trade union levels have proactively coordinated with functional agencies and businesses to strengthen propaganda and guidance on implementing regulations correctly; and at the same time promote inspection, urging, and limiting the situation of late payment and overdue debt.
The effective implementation of trade union fee collection has made an important contribution to creating stable resources for operations. This is the foundation for the Trade Union organization to implement practical care programs, strongly focusing on grassroots levels, ensuring better and better rights for union members and workers.
Practical care, strongly oriented towards grassroots levels
Activities to care for and protect workers' rights continue to be implemented synchronously. Trade unions at all levels strengthen inspection of the implementation of labor policies, wages, social insurance, health insurance; promptly grasp thoughts and aspirations to propose and resolve arising issues, contributing to stabilizing labor relations at enterprises.
From July 1, 2025 to now, trade union levels in the province have mobilized and used resources with a total budget of nearly 30 billion VND to care for and support union members and workers. This funding is focused on activities such as supporting "Trade Union Homes", visiting union members in difficult circumstances, providing emergency allowances, organizing "Workers' Month", "Tet Reunion" and many other practical welfare programs. Thereby, contributing to improving material and spiritual life and consolidating workers' trust in the Trade Union organization.
Stepping into 2026, trade union levels continue to promote activities towards grassroots levels. In the first 6 months of the year, the whole province has newly established 26 grassroots trade unions with 6,632 union members, especially in May - Workers' Month, the organization "Peak day of union member development, establishment of grassroots trade unions" has established 12 grassroots trade unions, admitted new union members: 5,772 union members.
