Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Van Khoi - Vice Chairman of Can Tho City People's Committee - assessed that in the past time, occupational safety and health in the city has had many positive changes. The awareness of employers and employees has been increasingly improved; working conditions have been gradually improved.
In addition, activities to care for union members and workers continue to be effectively implemented. At the ceremony alone, the Organizing Committee awarded support for building 20 "Trade Union Homes" with a total value of 1 billion VND; awarded 20 scholarships to students in difficult circumstances and studious students (total 20 million VND); and presented 100 gifts to union members and workers in difficult circumstances.
According to Mr. Khoi, these activities clearly show the concern and sharing of all levels, sectors and the whole society towards workers, especially those in difficult circumstances, contributing to creating motivation for workers to feel secure in their work and stick with the business for a long time.
To effectively implement the Action Month and Workers' Month, city leaders requested departments, branches, localities, businesses and workers to synchronously implement solutions: strictly comply with legal regulations; strengthen propaganda, inspection, and supervision; care for the lives and protect the rights of workers; proactively prevent risks, build a safe and sustainable working environment...
With that spirit, Vice Chairman of Can Tho City People's Committee Nguyen Van Khoi announced the launch of the Action Month on Occupational Safety and Health and Workers' Month 2026 in the city.
Also at the ceremony, Ms. Le Thi Suong Mai - Chairwoman of the Can Tho City Labor Federation - said that International Labor Day May 1 is an opportunity to honor the value of labor, and at the same time affirm the position, role and great contributions of the working class in the development process of each country.
In 2026, the Action Month on Occupational Safety and Health is implemented with the theme: "Innovating management and improving the efficiency of occupational safety and health work in the digital age"; and Workers' Month with the theme "Vietnamese workers: Innovation, improving labor productivity".
In this year's Workers' Month, the city implements many practical activities: honoring workers, caring for life, ensuring labor safety and organizing cultural and social activities.
