Mr. Tinh shared: "The old house is degraded, the storm season is coming, so my family has renovated the house to live in.

Previously, in February 2025, the Trade Union of Hwaseung Rach Gia Company Limited promptly supported the sudden difficult circumstances of union member Tran Thi Cam Tien (Department of Thanh Hoa C); residing in Hoa Loi Hamlet, Thanh Loc Commune, Chau Thanh District. On the way home from work, the union member unfortunately had a traffic accident, the situation was very serious.
The union member's family is in difficult circumstances, the father was paralyzed in a traffic accident, sitting in a wheelchair selling lottery tickets, the mother has heart disease and cervical spurs, currently has no home, and is renting a room. Cam Tien is the main breadwinner in the family, so when she had an accident, the family did not have money for treatment.
The Trade Union quickly supported and called for support and mobilized the company's management board and all employees, thereby helping Cam Tien with more than 124 million VND for treatment.
According to Vice President of Kien Giang Provincial Federation of Labor Trang Thi Bich Ngoc, in recent times, many union members have encountered unfortunate incidents or accidents. The Trade Union has accompanied, closely followed and provided timely support to help them overcome the current difficulties. The grassroots trade unions also closely follow the lives of union members, calling and mobilizing to join hands to help those in unfortunate circumstances.
