Previously, implementing the direction of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor on caring for and supporting union members and workers affected by storm No. 3, the Provincial Federation of Labor instructed union levels to review the affected union members and workers, assess the damage and complete the request with confirmation from local authorities.
On that basis, grassroots unions propose support levels based on estimated losses of each union member's family and make a list to send to the Provincial Federation of Labor for appraisal and consideration of support.
As of November 5, 2024, the Provincial Federation of Labor has received 3,460 applications, of which 3,391 union members and workers have valid applications and are eligible for support.
Of these, 611 union members and workers with estimated losses from 10 million to under 20 million VND were supported with 1 million VND/person; 339 union members and workers with estimated losses from 20 million to under 30 million VND were supported with 2 million VND/person; 643 union members and workers with estimated losses from 30 million VND or more were supported with 3 million VND/person and 1,798 union members and workers whose travel was affected by the Phong Chau bridge collapse were supported with 500,000 VND/person by the Provincial Labor Federation.
The Provincial Federation of Labor also organized an appraisal and decided to support the construction of a Trade Union Shelter for 2 union members with an amount of 90 million VND. The support fund was given by the Provincial Federation of Labor to the direct superior trade union at the grassroots level to give to union members and workers.
Previously, the Provincial Federation of Labor visited and supported 2 families of union members and workers who died, each family receiving 10 million VND. The total budget that the Provincial Federation of Labor supported union members and workers affected by storm No. 3 was over 4.2 billion VND.
In addition, the Provincial Federation of Labor also proposed that the General Confederation of Labor support over 30 million VND for Dan Thuong 1 Primary School and 1 union member in Ha Hoa district.
The timely attention and support of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor and the Provincial Labor Federation contributed to helping union members and workers affected by storm No. 3 have more motivation to overcome difficulties, feel secure in working and production, and stabilize their lives.
