Over the past time, activities to care for the lives and protect the legitimate and lawful rights of union members and workers in Dien Bien province have recorded many bright spots.
At Dien Bien Cement Joint Stock Company, when there are 246 officials and workers operating in 7 trade union groups, the problem of income and working conditions is always prioritized by the Company's leaders.
Mr. Nguyen Van Hoa - Chairman of the Company's Grassroots Trade Union (CĐCS) said: "The specificity is that it is a heavy industry, with a high potential risk of labor unsafety. Therefore, the Trade Union has proactively advised the Board of Directors to continuously improve conditions at the production site".
In 2026, the grassroots trade union successfully proposed many practical welfare plans. Specifically, the company has increased the value of meals for direct workers; built a salary increase roadmap for all officials and employees; and 100% of employees who perform well in occupational safety and health, received Tet bonuses equal to the full 13th month salary.

Reflecting from the grassroots health sector, representatives of the Tuan Giao Commune Trade Union proposed that it is necessary to consider increasing the on-duty allowance for health officials, especially at the grassroots level. The unit also hopes that the upper-level trade union will have opinions so that workers can soon enjoy a commensurate allowance.

Regarding administrative procedures, Mr. Nguyen Quoc Hoang - Chairman of Dien Bien Phu Ward Trade Union also proposed that it is necessary to soon upgrade the document processing software system, helping the coordination and settlement of procedures between grassroots trade unions, ward trade unions and the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the ward to be smooth.
From the difficulties at the grassroots level, Mr. Tan Minh Long - Chairman of the Dien Bien Provincial Labor Federation affirmed that employment, wages and OSH conditions are the central tasks of Trade Union levels.
In the coming time, the Provincial Labor Federation will organize a thematic supervision on ensuring labor safety, paying special attention to grassroots trade unions in the production and business sector. The Trade Union will conduct surveys, select and build model points on OSH so that units can learn and replicate" - Mr. Long emphasized.
