Innovating propaganda to help workers remove "explosive" game apps

PHONG LINH |

Regarding the work of protecting workers and laborers in cyberspace, a Chairman of a grassroots Trade Union (CĐCS) in Can Tho City (requesting anonymity) shared with Lao Dong about effective propaganda directions in his unit.

The Chairman of the grassroots trade union said that at a time when online electronic games of a betting nature, also known as games "exploding" at an alarming level, the Executive Committee of the grassroots trade union actively propagated and mobilized union members to stop playing, calling for concentration on production. The call through meetings or radio broadcasts during meals and rest, however, this approach is not very feasible.

In June 2026, after working with Lao Dong Newspaper reporters on the direction of innovation in propaganda, the grassroots trade union deployed a more optimal method. The propaganda bulletin to workers was built methodically and vividly, especially clearly stating the provisions of the law with specific penalty frames. Faced with the worry of leaving consequences for themselves and their families, many workers at the company gradually abandoned the game.

The Chairman of the grassroots trade union expressed his joy to reporters that so far, in the playing group, more than 50% of people have deleted the app. The workforce has returned to focus on increasing production to improve income, participate in healthy physical exercise and build a civilized working environment.

Previously, Mr. Vu Minh Duc (character name has been changed) had a period of hardship because of "explosive" games. The great motivation that helped Mr. Duc give up virtual games was to access the above-mentioned legal propaganda information. Currently, Mr. Duc has become an "extended arm" of the Company's Grassroots Trade Union Executive Committee in advising and mobilizing employees not to return to playing "explosive" games.

The Chairman of the grassroots trade union added that it is expected that next month, the unit will coordinate with functional sectors to organize legal advice and network security, including integrating online game warning content for workers.

Information from the Can Tho City Labor Federation, a recent report by grassroots trade unions in the area shows that the awareness of workers has clearly improved, the situation of participating in "exploding jar" games has decreased significantly, contributing to stabilizing labor relations in industrial parks. This is a welcome sign.

However, before the complicated developments in cyberspace, the Can Tho City Labor Federation believes that it does not rule out the possibility that betting forms will be distorted under new methods. Therefore, the Can Tho City Trade Union will continue to promote information and propaganda; and at the same time encourage union members to actively participate in healthy cultural and sports activities, building a safe and civilized working environment.

The Can Tho City Labor Federation calls on all union members and workers to raise their vigilance, use the Internet and social networks safely, civilly, responsibly and in accordance with the law. Each union member and worker should proactively protect personal information, identify and prevent acts and tricks of fraud in cyberspace; do not share or spread unverified information...
