Also attending was Permanent Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor (VGCL) Thai Thu Xuong.
In the atmosphere of the whole country celebrating the Party and the Spring of At Ty 2025, National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man sent his best regards and warm congratulations to the leaders of Hau Giang province, and all workers and employees at Giap Quan Thang One Member Co., Ltd.
The National Assembly Chairman informed that in 2024, although our country faced many difficulties and challenges, it strived to achieve and exceed 15/15 socio-economic targets (this figure was only achieved in 10 years), this is considered a miracle.
Vietnam's economy grew by 7.09%; Hau Giang province grew by 8.76%, higher than the national average. The country's budget revenue was over 2 million billion VND, the highest ever; this means that only when the economy develops will budget revenue increase. Hau Giang alone collected 7,017 billion VND, higher than previous years.
The National Assembly Chairman said that with the results of the country in general and Hau Giang province in particular, the participation of the Trade Union and workers is extremely important, contributing to the overall achievements of the whole country.
Hau Giang currently has 2 industrial parks, 7 clusters, 6 logistics centers, with a total of 57,700 employees, 55,000 union members, of which 2,495 are union members at Giap Quan Thang Company.
The National Assembly Chairman commented that in recent years, Hau Giang has paid attention to developing industry and handicrafts, however, with 57,700 workers, it is still not commensurate with its potential.
In the near future, the number of workers and laborers must double or triple this number so that Hau Giang can industrialize, modernize and develop. Hau Giang land is still large, there is still a lot of room, the locality must strongly call for businesses to invest in Hau Giang.
In the coming time, the National Assembly Chairman requested the Hau Giang Provincial Federation of Labor to further strengthen the implementation of the Party's policies and Resolutions for workers and laborers, especially the implementation of Resolution 57 of the Politburo on science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation.
At the same time, the Provincial Federation of Labor must increase attention to the ideology and life of the workers. Pay attention to health conditions, have all the conditions to take care of workers' medical examinations every 6 months and 1 year; in the company, there must be "morning exercise, afternoon sports, evening singing".
In addition, the Provincial Federation of Labor must review the rights of workers, not only at this company but also at all production and business companies in the area; promptly resolve difficulties and problems of workers, so that they can feel secure in production and business in the favorable environmental conditions of the district, the province, and our country today.
The National Assembly Chairman also suggested that Hau Giang province pay attention to the issue of social housing and housing for workers; it is necessary to review the planning of a factory or a company to have housing, places for children to study, places for medical examination and treatment, mini supermarkets, and ensure living conditions for workers.
Ms. Tran Kim Phung - a member of the Trade Union of Giap Quan Thang Company Limited - shared that she and everyone were very touched by the sincere and profound attention of the leaders of the Party, the State, the Trade Union organization and the whole society for workers on the occasion of Lunar New Year 2025.
“This is a great source of encouragement and motivation for us union members and workers to have more motivation and peace of mind to continue to strive to work, to unite with enterprises to produce and do business with higher productivity in the coming time. We promise to continuously study, improve our qualifications and skills, innovate, be creative, and work hard to produce,” Ms. Phung happily said.
Chairman of Hau Giang Provincial Federation of Labor Le Cong Khanh informed that, up to now, most enterprises have had plans to pay salaries and Tet bonuses to union members and employees. The highest Tet bonus for union members and employees is 167 million VND, the lowest is 1 million VND and the average is 5.5 million VND. According to reports from enterprises, the average Tet bonus in 2025 will increase by 30% compared to 2024. In addition, the Labor Unions at all levels in the province have also developed a plan to implement the program "Tet Sum Vay - Xuan Ung Dang" with many support activities for union members and employees.
