Same school, same job, same house, same aspiration
Among the 19 outstanding direct workers who were organized by the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation in coordination with the Party cells of some businesses to join the Party at the Hang Duong Cemetery historical site, Con Dao Special Zone on the occasion of the 136th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birth (May 19, 1890 - May 19, 2026) recently, there are 2 couples working together at Thai Binh Investment Joint Stock Company. They are Mr. Dau Cong Phu and his wife, Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhi, working at Thai Binh Investment Joint Stock Company Area 1 and Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong Duyen and her husband, Mr. Nguyen Van Dong, working at Dong Xoai Factory of Thai Binh Investment Joint Stock Company.
Studying at the same school, in 2013, the two became husband and wife, and finally applied to work at Thai Binh Investment Joint Stock Company Area 1 and were assigned to work together in the model product development center department. During the working process, both of them made efforts to complete their work and were well evaluated by the company and party cell here and introduced by the grassroots trade union as outstanding union members for the Party to consider and nurture. Mr. Phu recounted that there were also many times when work encountered difficulties, but both husband and wife encouraged each other to complete their tasks well. In addition, trade union officials also shared, encouraged, and supported. Gradually striving and overcoming challenges, he and his wife were admitted to the Party at the Hang Duong historical site Cemetery, Con Dao Special Zone on May 18. Ms. Nhi emotionally shared: "We also wished to visit Con Dao once and that dream has now become a reality. Being admitted to the Party in the sacred land of the Fatherland on the occasion of the 136th anniversary of Uncle Ho's birth is a great honor for my husband and I. Now we not only share the same school, shared the same house, shared the same work, but also share the same aspirations to work better together, contributing more to businesses and society".
Similarly, Mr. Nguyen Van Dong also said that during the journey of his wife and he being admitted to the Party in Con Dao, there was also great sharing, guidance, and support from the Trade Union organization. Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong Duyen said that one of the motivations for her to strive to join the Party was because she saw the example of Ms. Le Thi Hong - Deputy Secretary of the Party Cell, Chairwoman of the Trade Union of Dong Xoai Factory, Thai Binh Investment Joint Stock Company - who always worried, cared for, and supported the work and life of workers. Ms. Duyen said: "Actually, we think joining the Party is not to have a position or benefits, but to be trained in a more disciplined environment, everyone progresses more. When each person progresses more, the business is better, and society will be better".
Developing party members among direct workers is an important political task
Ms. Le Thi Hong - Deputy Secretary of the Party Cell, Chairwoman of the Trade Union of Dong Xoai Factory, Thai Binh Investment Joint Stock Company - said that one of the difficulties in Party development among workers today is that many people still do not understand the Party deeply, so they are hesitant to strive to be admitted to the Party. Understanding that issue, the trade union and Party committees in the company always pay attention to and monitor the discovery of outstanding workers, and then assign people to support and help them overcome challenges to be admitted to the Party. The fact that the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation coordinates with the Party Committee of the Con Dao Special Zone and the company to organize Party admission for workers directly in the sacred land of the Fatherland further increases the meaning and is a motivation for many other workers to strive to join the ranks of the Party.
Mr. Vo Khac Thai - Standing Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation - said that the Ho Chi Minh City Trade Union organization always considers Party building work as a key task, the work of creating sources to introduce outstanding union members, in which union members who are direct production workers for the Party to consider and admit is the top responsibility, is the central xuyên suốt task of each grassroots trade union, of the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation. Mr. Thai also added that the first Ho Chi Minh City Trade Union Congress, term 2025 - 2030 has set a goal to strive for an average of each grassroots trade union to introduce at least one outstanding union member for the Party to consider, nurture and admit, in which, at least every year, from 3% - 5% of the outstanding masses who are direct production workers are admitted to the Party organization. To achieve the above target, the Ho Chi Minh City Trade Union levels will synchronously implement solutions to develop party members from the source of trade union members, contributing to the establishment of the Party organization and improving the quality of Party activities at the grassroots level, building a strong working class and Trade Union organization in the
The Ho Chi Minh City Trade Union always identifies the development of party members among direct production workers as an important political task, contributing to building a team of city workers who are both red and specialized, with firm political bravery, good expertise, sense of responsibility and aspiration to rise up, contributing to building a clean and strong Party, and a prosperous country. In the new era of the nation, the Ho Chi Minh City Trade Union organization is committed to continuing to represent, accompany, care for, nurture and promote the pioneering role of the working class. Con Dao is a major revolutionary school, a place that has trained many generations of leaders and leaders of the Party and State, a place to show the loyalty, indomitableness, heroism, and greatness of the Vietnamese Revolution. The organization of Party admission for direct workers in Con Dao will strengthen education, create motivation to continue revolutionary traditions, political awareness, and contribute to fostering the spirit and enthusiasm in workers" - Mr. Thai emphasized.
