Mr. Vo Van Sy - a worker at Dong A Vina Company Limited (Long An province), could not hide his joy when he heard that the Trade Union organization had given him 4 free train tickets to his hometown in Nghe An.
"For the past 3 years, Tet has come but my family had to stay in Long An because we did not have enough money to buy train and bus tickets to go home. Now, thanks to the support of the Trade Union, this Tet At Ty 2025, my family can go home to celebrate Tet with my parents and relatives" - Mr. Sy informed.
Not only Mr. Sy, Ms. Nguyen Thi Tham (from Hanoi) - a worker at Chau Au Vina Joint Stock Company - said that for over 20 years, during Tet, she and her children have not had the opportunity to return home to celebrate Tet with relatives and family.
“Train, bus and plane tickets are very expensive during Tet, while workers’ salaries are just enough to cover daily expenses. Therefore, my children and I do not have the opportunity to return home during Tet,” Ms. Tham informed. Ms. Tham shared that she is truly grateful to the Trade Union for their care and support so that this year, her family will celebrate Tet together warmly.
The program "Train, Bus, Union - Spring 2025" was implemented by the Long An Provincial Labor Federation to share difficulties with workers far from home. This year, nearly 2,200 free train and bus tickets were given, with priority given to workers in difficult circumstances who cannot return home for Tet.
Mr. Nguyen Van Qui - Chairman of the Long An Provincial Labor Federation (LDF) - said that in order to recognize the contributions of union members and workers to the socio-economic development of the province, the Long An Provincial Labor Federation awarded 2,188 "Love Tickets" to union members and workers to return to their hometowns to celebrate the Lunar New Year 2025 and return to Long An to work after Tet.
"We would like to send our sincere gratitude to the workers who have worked hard throughout the past year. The union will continue to accompany us to help our workers return home to celebrate Tet in joy and warmth," Mr. Qui informed.
According to Mr. Qui, the program of giving away free train and bus tickets is not only a meaningful action during Tet but also a strong affirmation of the responsibility of the Trade Union organization towards union members and workers. This is a bridge of love, helping workers to fully enjoy the joy of reunion with their families, while encouraging them to be more confident in their work and life.
Besides, this valuable material gift is also a sharing and spiritual encouragement for workers, who are constantly contributing to the socio-economic development of Long An province.
"Through this program, the Long An Provincial Federation of Labor organizes to bring workers back to their hometowns safely and conveniently. In particular, this activity will create a connection between the Trade Union organization and union members and workers, affirming the role of the Trade Union in taking care of the lives of union members and workers" - Mr. Qui informed.
