On January 21, at Bien Hoa station, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor (VGCL) in coordination with the Dong Nai Provincial Federation of Labor and the Vietnam Railways Trade Union organized the program "Union Train - Spring 2025" to bring workers and their relatives home for Tet.
At the program, Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor Phan Van Anh, Vice President of the Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thi Hoang and leaders of the Dong Nai Provincial Confederation of Labor met, wished a happy new year and gave lucky money gifts to 60 union members, workers and 50 relatives before boarding train number TN4 to return home to celebrate Tet with their families. The train departed from Bien Hoa station at 12:00 on January 21, arriving at Hanoi station.
According to this year's plan, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor will organize activities to support transportation for union members and workers to return to their hometowns to celebrate Tet and return to work on the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2025. Of which, 400 plane tickets and nearly 2,000 train tickets will be supported for workers and their relatives.
Dong Nai province alone is supported with 350 round-trip train tickets and 92 plane tickets to bring union members in the province back to their hometowns to celebrate the Lunar New Year 2025 from the program of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor.
Speaking at the meeting, Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor Phan Van Anh said that for many years, every time Tet comes, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor has issued a plan to take better care of union members and workers with many practical contents.
This includes organizing trains, buses, and planes to take workers home to celebrate Tet with their families and return to work to stabilize production.
Dong Nai province's trade unions at all levels have also organized to pick up and drop off over 10,000 union members and workers on buses and 1,000 union members and workers on trains to return home for Tet.
Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor Phan Van Anh hopes that there will be more trains, flights and buses so that union members and workers who do not have the conditions will be able to return home to celebrate Tet. This is the legitimate wish of union members and workers.
According to Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor Phan Van Anh, in 2026, this activity will be implemented more widely, deeply and meaningfully.
In addition, the Dong Nai Provincial Federation of Labor also organized the program "Tet Reunion Train - Spring 2025" to bring 1,000 union members and workers back to their hometowns to celebrate the Lunar New Year of At Ty 2025 on 15 trains from January 23 to January 26.
On January 24, the Dong Nai Provincial Federation of Labor organized a meeting, New Year greetings and lucky money gifts for 150 union members and workers before boarding train SE16 (the train left Bien Hoa station at exactly 9:17 a.m.) to return home to celebrate Tet with their families.
