Speaking at the opening of the program, Mr. Le An Hai - Chairman of the Vietnam Industry and Trade Union affirmed that the Industry and Trade sector currently has hundreds of thousands of union members and workers working in many specific fields.

Each field has different working conditions. Each business has different advantages and difficulties. This means that the thoughts and aspirations of workers are also very diverse.

There are many opinions wishing the trade union organization to innovate more strongly to be truly close to union members, close to grassroots levels and promptly solve problems arising from practice. That is also the reason for today's seminar to be organized," Mr. Le An Hai emphasized.
