At Thong Nhat Swimwear Garment Co., Ltd., information on elections is flexibly deployed through internal social networking platforms. Mr. Nguyen Vuong Anh - Chairman of the company's grassroots trade union (CĐCS) said that in the past time, the trade union executive committee regularly updated information on the election process and how to participate in the election of People's Councils at all levels through Zalo groups. Trade union groups continue to convey information to more than 1,600 workers working at the enterprise.
In addition to propaganda through Zalo groups and internal social networks, grassroots trade unions in Khanh Hoa also organize the integration of propaganda content during the first shift activities at groups and workshops. At the same time, internal information boards, panels, posters and propaganda slogans are also placed in the production area, lunch hall and common living area of workers.
According to Mr. Phan Thanh Liem - Vice Chairman of the Provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, Chairman of the Khanh Hoa Provincial Labor Federation, propaganda on elections is implemented by trade union levels in many diverse forms. In addition to information on trade union websites and social networks, units also strengthen visual propaganda at workplaces, especially in industrial parks with many workers.
Trade union levels coordinate with employers to arrange reasonable time for workers to access information about elections, participate in propaganda activities and exercise their voting rights," Mr. Liem said.
The Provincial Labor Federation also mobilized union members and workers to participate in an online contest to learn about the election of National Assembly deputies and People's Council deputies at all levels, attracting positive response from workers throughout the province; ward trade unions and grassroots trade unions organized mobile propaganda parades, contributing to creating a vibrant atmosphere towards election day.
The atmosphere towards the election day also became a topic of discussion for many workers during breaks or after work. Many people actively learn information about candidates through official channels to consider their choices.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a worker at a garment company in Suoi Dau Industrial Park, said: "Each ballot is important, so I want to learn carefully about the candidates to choose those who are capable, responsible and care about the lives of workers.
Sharing the same expectation, many workers hope that delegates after being elected will pay more attention to policies on employment, income, working conditions as well as social security for workers. Issues such as housing for workers, social welfare or a safe working environment are also wishes sent through their votes.
Mr. Le Tien Phong, a worker at Vina Mechanical Company, said that delegates need to be close to the people, especially workers, to promptly grasp issues arising in practice and contribute to perfecting related policies.
He also expressed his impression of the action program of National Assembly delegate candidate Nghiem Xuan Thanh, which includes orientations to make Khanh Hoa soon become a centrally-run city, creating stable jobs and people living prosperously and happily.
