Nation join hands to give warm Tet to poor workers
Hanoi (VNA) – Officials have joined trade union organisations and enterprises in many localities in presenting gifts and free transport tickets for poor workers to ensure they can have a warm Lunar New Year (Tet) with their families.
Politburo member and standing
member of the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat Tran Quoc Vuong visited
poor workers in the northern province of Phu Tho on January 5.
The Party official brought 100
gifts to a Tet gathering held by the JNTC Vina Ltd Co for its workers. He took
the occasion to ask the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour (VGCL) and the
labour federation of Phu Tho province to improve the performance of grassroots
trade unions in protecting the legitimate interests and rights of workers.
The same day, Minister-Chairman
of the Government Office Mai Tien Dung, Vice President of the VGCL Tran Van
Thuat and Secretary of Ha Nam Party Committee attended a Tet programme together
with more than 1,000 workers in disadvantaged circumstances.
The labour federation of Ha Nam
province, the programme’s organizer, presented 1,000 gifts and 300 bus tickets
for needy workers at the event.
The federation will also lease 30
buses to take workers from localities more than 150km away home for Tet
holiday.
President of the Ha Nam labour
federation Trinh Van Bung reported that around 65,000 workers are working in industrial
parks in Ha Nam. Of them, about 20,000 hail from other provinces and cities,
with some 8,000 in disadvantaged circumstances.
The Lunar New Year (Tet) is the most important occasion for Vietnamese people during a year. Most people will try to come back to their home town or village to celebrate Tet with their families./.
