The origin of heroism
An Giang is a locality that established a Trade Union (CD) in the 1920s, founded by Uncle Ton (Chairman Ton Duc Thang - an outstanding son of An Giang). After many years of traveling abroad, having access to revolutionary truth, clearly recognizing the strength of the working class and the importance of the Trade Union organization, when he returned home, he laid the foundation for the Trade Union organization in his hometown of An Giang.
The workers in two major centers of the province, Long Xuyen - Chau Doc, under the direct guidance of Uncle Ton, soon built for himself an important political organization - the early organization of the Association. This is a successful construction basis for the Red Association, Ai Huu, Union, National Salvation workers, and forerunner of the Vietnam Community. The introduction of the Association's organization is an important premise for An Giang workers to absorb the revolutionary doctrine by Vietnamese revolutionary Vietnamese members in 1927 - 1930.
Especially in April 1930s, with the establishment of the first Communist Party Cell in Cho Moi and its rapid development to other areas in the province, An Giang had a pioneering team of the CN class officially taking on the historic mission, steering revolutionary boats, contributing with the army and people to create many achievements throughout the resistance against French colonialism and American domination.

In the early days of liberation, thousands of An Giang workers were unemployed and lacked jobs due to many production facilities stopping operations due to lack of capital, raw materials...
Under the direction of the Provincial Party Committee, theAG Trade Union has deeply mobilized workers to promote the revolutionary tradition of Uncle Ton's hometown in all fields of employment. Thanks to that, by the end of 1976, the production situation gradually stabilized, creating an important premise for the following years.

After 29 times of organization, over 2,100 high school students have been supported with a total amount of over 2 billion VND. In 2021, the Trade Union ofAG advised and proposed the People's Committee of An Giang province to establish the Ton Duc Thang Award to honor and reward good workers and outstanding workers with outstanding achievements in the patriotic emulation movement.
