A few days before the 14th Congress of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour, leaders of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour directly went to the hospital, to the homes of union members suffering from serious illnesses and in particularly difficult circumstances to present gifts of encouragement.
Gifts from the 14th Vietnam Trade Union Congress" to union member Trinh Van Thao, suffering from a serious illness being treated at Thanh Hoa Oncology Hospital, or to teacher Ho Thi Thanh Tam of the Central Pedagogical College who is being treated for cancer; Mr. Nguyen Xuan Anh - a worker at Thanh Hoa Urban Works and Environment Joint Stock Company, who is fighting chronic kidney failure... at this time is a very timely encouragement from the Trade Union organization in the most difficult times of his life.
Gifts like these also show a very positive movement in trade union activities in recent years.
If previously, the care work of the Trade Union organization was often mentioned with activities to support holidays, Tet or collective welfare programs, now the scope of care has been expanded and gone deeper into each specific fate.
The Trade Union not only supports when workers are still healthy but also accompanies them when they encounter health, income or family life upheavals. That is when the representative and caring role of the Trade Union organization is most clearly felt by union members and workers.
More notably, the stories shared in the meetings and gift giving of leaders of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour this time also show that "Gifts from the 14th Vietnam Trade Union Congress" not only came to them on this congress, but continuously from grassroots trade unions, colleagues and trade union organizations at all levels throughout the time they faced illness and difficulties...
This creates the profound meaning of the program "Gifts from the 14th Vietnam Trade Union Congress".
The fact that the leaders of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour spend the days leading up to the congress to come to union members who are fighting illness and are in difficult circumstances across the country, once again conveys a very clear message that all policies and ultimate goals of the 14th Vietnam Trade Union Congress are aimed at the interests of union members and workers.
And "Gifts from the 14th Vietnam Trade Union Congress" is a humane affirmation of the action motto of the trade union organization in the new term: taking union members and workers as the center, as the goal and motivation of all activities.
