Hanoi (VNA) – The Prime Minister has recently adopted a project on building trade union institutions in industrial and processing zones with an aim to improve trade unions’ role in their political ties with the Party and authorities.

The project targets building accommodation, kindergartens, supermarkets, cultural and sport facilities for workers in industrial and processing zones.

It looks to complete 10 institutions between 2017 and 2018, and put into use 40 others from 2018-2020.

By 2030, all industrial and processing zones nationwide strive to issue their own trade union institutions, thereby improving union members and workers’ cultural and spiritual lives.

Authorities of centrally-run cities and provinces are tasked with creating favourable conditions in land access and administrative procedures, making it easier for workers to rent or buy houses.

They are asked to improve the quality of housing for workers that meet requirements for technical and social infrastructure in terms of transport, health care, culture.-VNA
