Not only the food was delicious and cozy, but it was also cared for and visited by business leaders and trade union organizations. We feel appreciated, listened to, and thereby have more motivation to work better.
Significance and direction of replication
In fact, this activity has gradually helped narrow the gap between business leaders, trade unions and workers, creating a space for exchange and colleagues. Improving the quality of shift meals helps workers clearly feel the care, improve health, working spirit and productivity, and complete assigned tasks well.
According to the Dong Thap Provincial Federation of Labor, the Union Meal is not only a collective meal but also affirms the role of the Union organization in caring for the material and spiritual life of union members and workers. The activity also demonstrates social responsibility from the business side, contributing to building harmonious, stable and progressive labor relations.
Ms. Huynh Thi Tuyet Vui - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Vice Chairwoman of the Provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, President of the Dong Thap Provincial Federation of Labor - emphasized: "We will continue to encourage and support grassroots unions to coordinate with enterprises to implement this model, improve the quality of shift meals and spread the spirit of sharing throughout the province. Initial effectiveness shows that the program can be maintained regularly, combined with emulation movements, holidays, Tet or Workers' Month, while diversifying forms of care, so that union members and workers can feel the attention from the Trade Union organization".
