I have been propagated by the company and the grassroots trade union about the election day on March 15th. I hope that through this election, I will be able to select virtuous and talented delegates, especially delegates who are interested in the lives of workers in enterprises. Delegates represent the aspirations of workers, proposing solutions to develop the lives of migrant workers" - Mr. Nguyen Huu Manh said.
