Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - The Vietnam General Confederation of Labour (VGCL) has announced its 2025 Lunar New Year (Tet) plan for workers, which includes providing around 2,000 round-trip train tickets and 400 one-way plane tickets to help workers return home for the biggest holiday of a year in the country.
VGCL Vice President Phan Van Anh said beneficiaries will include all trade union members and workers, with priority given to those in particularly difficult circumstances, such as the ones affected by work-related accidents, occupational diseases, serious illnesses, and natural disasters, or those who have experienced reduced work hours, job loss, and unpaid wages or bonuses.
The trade unions will organise the “Tet Reunion – Spring of Gratitude to the Party” programme, which will include activities such as the opening of the “2025 Trade Union Tet Market” and the launch of the “Trade Union Bus – Spring 2025” and “Trade Union Train – Spring 2025” programmes.
Additionally, union officials will participate in delegations led by Party, State, and Vietnam Fatherland Front leaders, as well as National Assembly deputies and local leaders, to visit, present gifts, and extend Tet greetings to union members and workers.
In particular, about 2,000 round-trip train tickets and 400 one-way plane tickets will be provided for union members and workers from southern provinces to help them return home in northern localities for Tet.
During Tet 2025, labour unions at all levels will focus on supporting workers in difficult circumstances or with low incomes, with assistance ranging from 500,000 VND to 1 million VND (20 - 40 USD) per person, funded by union finances./.
