Taking care of Tet for workers
On the afternoon before the last full moon day of the year of Giap Thin 2024, the campus of Cau Xay Joint Stock Company (Soc Son, Hanoi) became more bustling than usual. 50 union members and workers in difficult circumstances of the company were present to receive Tet support gifts from the Hanoi City Labor Federation. Ms. Nguyen Thi Ai, born in 1986, could not hold back her tears when talking to us - tears of emotion and somewhat of sadness when her difficult situation was cared for by others.
Ms. Ai has been a worker at Cau Xay Joint Stock Company since 2007. Unfortunately, her 34-month-old child has leukemia. She saves money from daily expenses, medicine, and medical expenses for her child, from daily living expenses, from minimizing her own needs. Because she often has to take time off to take her child to the hospital, some months she takes more than 20 days off, so her income is only about 3.8 million VND.
With such difficulties, for her and her family, Tet is no different from any other day and is a day of wishing that her child would not be in pain. Therefore, she was extremely moved when she heard that she had received Tet support gifts from the Trade Union. Holding in her hands the 1 million VND gift and a Tet gift bag worth 300,000 VND including candy, Ms. Ai wiped her tears...
Also one of the union members and workers in difficult circumstances who received Tet support from the Trade Union organization, received Tet gifts and greetings from the leaders of the City Labor Federation, worker Khuat Thi Nguon - Noble Vietnam Electronics Co., Ltd. (Thach That, Hanoi) emotionally said: "I have worked at the Company for 13 years, my husband passed away early, I had to raise 3 children alone. Luckily for me, the Company's Trade Union always cares and supports me.
Today, receiving gifts from the City Trade Union, I feel very happy. Thank you to the Trade Union for always caring for workers in difficult circumstances like me. The leaders of the City Trade Union came to the Company to give Tet gifts, making it possible for union members and workers in difficult circumstances to have a traditional Tet like everyone else in society."
Create an exciting Tet atmosphere right at the workplace
In the activities of the Trade Union organization to take care of union members and workers on the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2025, directly visiting and giving Tet gifts at enterprises not only shows the Union's concern and orientation towards the grassroots, but also helps to grasp the situation of labor relations as well as Tet salaries and bonuses.
Witnessing the emotions of union members and workers receiving Tet support from the Trade Union organization, we can clearly see the imprints of a Tet season brought by the Trade Union to union members and workers. Because, according to the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, one of the purposes and requirements in organizing activities to care for union members and workers on the occasion of the Lunar New Year At Ty 2025 is that the activities must be practical in terms of material and spiritual care for union members and workers; ensuring that all union members and workers have a joyful, meaningful, warm and united Tet.
Thereby, affirming the role and responsibility of the Trade Union organization in taking care of union members and workers during Tet; creating motivation and encouraging union members and workers to work with a high sense of responsibility and efficiency, improving labor productivity, product quality, uniting to build agencies, units and businesses to develop more and more; strengthening trust and connection between union members and workers and the Trade Union organization; attracting workers to join the Vietnam Trade Union.
The subjects of care during Tet are all union members and workers, with priority given to union members and workers in especially difficult circumstances, those who have had work accidents, occupational diseases, serious illnesses, those affected by natural disasters, storms and floods, those whose working hours have been reduced, those who have lost their jobs, those who have been owed wages and bonuses; union members and workers from policy families, ethnic minorities, who have not had the opportunity to return home for Tet for many years; union members and workers who stay at their units and enterprises to work, produce and do business during Tet.
Organize diverse and flexible forms of care, focusing on the grassroots, paying attention to supporting union members and workers working in industrial parks, export processing zones, economic zones; union members and workers living and working in remote areas, border areas, islands, areas with difficult economic and social conditions; in enterprises facing difficulties due to economic recession, cutting or reducing orders, narrowing production scale, temporarily suspending operations, dissolving, going bankrupt, owing wages, bonuses...
