Trade Union bus takes thousands of workers from Ho Chi Minh City to their hometowns for Tet

On February 12, at the Binh Duong Labor Culture Center (An Phu ward, Ho Chi Minh City), the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation organized the program "Trade Union Bus - Spring 2026" to take union members and workers home to celebrate Binh Ngo Tet.

Attending the send-off ceremony for workers was Mr. Nguyen Loc Ha - Standing Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee.

The "Trade Union Bus Trip - Spring 2026" program with 42 trips takes 1,890 workers in the North of Ho Chi Minh City (former Binh Duong province) back to their hometowns in the Central Highlands, Central and Northern provinces.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Loc Ha - Standing Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee assessed that the Trade Union Bus - Spring 2026 is a typical activity in the series of Tet care programs of the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation. Thereby clearly showing the role of representing, caring for and protecting the rights and interests of union members and workers. Through many years of implementation, the Trade Union Bus program has become an activity rich in human meaning, spreading the spirit of sharing and responsibility of the Trade Union organization towards workers.

Mr. Nguyen Loc Ha acknowledged the silent but very important contributions of workers in persistently working in production, sharing with businesses. Through this, workers have contributed to maintaining the pace of growth and socio-economic stability of Ho Chi Minh City.

I would like to send to union members, workers and families the best New Year wishes. Wishing you a safe trip, a warm and reunited Tet, and after the holidays, returning to Ho Chi Minh City with a new spirit, continuing to contribute to building a civilized, modern, and meaningful Ho Chi Minh City" - Mr. Nguyen Loc Ha said.

According to Ms. Nguyen Kim Loan - Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation, during the Binh Ngo Lunar New Year 2026, together with the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation will support 2,293 train tickets, 820 air tickets, and 5,000 bus tickets for union members and workers in difficult circumstances who have not returned to their hometowns for Tet for many years. The total cost of bringing workers back to their hometowns for Tet is about 16.2 billion VND.

We understand that behind each bus trip are stories, dreams of reunion, smiles of parents and children when they meet their loved ones after a long year of separation. We hope that the bus trips will not only take the brothers and sisters back to their hometowns but also bring warm feelings, encouragement and trust from the Trade Union organization. After moments of warm reunion with family, all union members and workers will return to work on time. Through this, strive to compete in labor and production, and continue to excellently complete the tasks of work in 2026. From there, contribute to completing the production and business plans of each unit and enterprise" - Ms. Nguyen Kim Loan shared with workers before getting on the bus.
