On the afternoon of September 29, at the Khanh Hoa Provincial Labor Culture House, the Khanh Hoa Transport Trade Union held the closing ceremony of the sports festival for workers and civil servants in the entire industry.
Mr. Chu Van An - Chairman of the Khanh Hoa Transport Trade Union - said that the sports festival in the whole industry was held from September 26 to 29 with the participation of nearly 800 athletes from 14 affiliated trade unions.

In addition to the purpose of physical training, the sports festival also brings an exciting competitive atmosphere, solidarity, and exchange of learning between union members and workers in agencies, units, and enterprises in the industry.
This is also a practical activity to celebrate the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam Trade Union and the 79th anniversary of the founding of the Transport sector.
After 4 days of competition, with excellent achievements, the First Prize for the whole group belonged to the Trade Union of Khanh Hoa Bus Station and Transport Services Joint Stock Company, the Second Prize for the whole group belonged to the Trade Union of International Trade and Tourism Joint Stock Company, and the Third Prize for the whole group belonged to the Trade Union of Cat Thanh Nha Trang Company Limited. The Organizing Committee also awarded the First, Second, and Third prizes to the outstanding athletes in each event.
For the first time participating in the arm wrestling competition in the 60-65kg weight class and winning first prize, Mr. Dang Quoc Viet - a member of the Trade Union of International Trade and Tourism Joint Stock Company shared the joy that the sports event brought.
Due to the nature of transportation and services, many union members who are drivers, vehicle operators... like Mr. Viet have few opportunities to participate in cultural and sports activities. Therefore, when the Industry Union organized a playground with many familiar and easy-to-practice sports such as tug of war, arm wrestling, jogging... the union members responded very well and participated with a happy spirit. This also improved the spirit and working environment, helping them have moments of relaxation to continue working better.
