In addition, Mr. Thanh also analyzed the establishment, operation, and care for workers in unions, thereby suggesting that there should be a special topic on this issue because the trend of workers moving from the formal sector to the informal sector is increasingly common, especially in large cities...
Mr. To Xuan Thao - Chairman of the Quang Ninh Provincial Federation of Labor and Ms. Nguyen Kim Loan - Chairman of the Binh Duong Provincial Federation of Labor proposed to prepare for the development of union members and the establishment of grassroots unions according to the development of industrial clusters to be established in localities.
Speaking on this content, President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor Nguyen Dinh Khang emphasized that the theme of activities in 2025 is "Focus on developing union members; participating in building a clean and strong Party".
