Vinh Long Trade Union takes care of about 6 billion VND for union members and workers

In the first six months of 2026, the Vinh Long Provincial Labor Federation will implement many activities to care for union members and workers; promote union member development, establish grassroots trade unions and improve the effectiveness of representing and protecting workers' rights.

Mr. Nguyen Phuc Linh - Member of the Executive Committee of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, Provincial Party Committee Member, Vice Chairman of the Provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, Chairman of Vinh Long Provincial Labor Federation - said that the employment situation, income and living standards of workers in the area are basically stable, and most businesses fully implement salary and bonus regimes and welfare policies.

According to Mr. Nguyen Phuc Linh, trade union levels proactively coordinate with businesses to take care of the material and spiritual life of union members; regularly grasp thoughts and aspirations, strengthen dialogue, contributing to building harmonious, stable and progressive labor relations.

In the first 6 months of the year, the Provincial Labor Federation newly developed 13,628 union members, reaching 52.41% of the plan; established 26 grassroots trade unions. The whole province currently has 640 grassroots trade unions and professional unions with 176,970 union members, reaching a gathering rate of 95.76% of workers.

Trade unions at all levels introduced 386 outstanding union members to the Party for consideration and fostering for admission; organized 2,879 propaganda sessions, disseminating guidelines, policies, and laws, attracting more than 160,000 union members and workers to participate.

Many key targets achieved positive results. To date, 86% of enterprises with trade union organizations have signed collective labor agreements; 89% of enterprises implement grassroots democracy regulations; 8/12 enterprises have adjusted to increase the value of lunch meals for employees.

The highlight in care work is a series of programs being implemented with a total budget of about 6 billion VND. In which, the program "Tet Sum vay - Spring of Gratitude to the Party" for 700 union members has a budget of more than 670 million VND; awarded more than 8,800 gifts at businesses with a budget of 3.846 billion VND.

In addition, the Provincial Labor Federation organized "Trade Union Year-end Meal" for 2,700 union members with a budget of more than 464 million VND; supported the construction of 17 Trade Union Warm Houses worth 1.2 billion VND, along with many activities to visit, award scholarships and care for workers in difficult circumstances.

Mr. Nguyen Phuc Linh said that care programs not only support union members materially but also create motivation for workers to feel secure in working and sticking with businesses. This is also an important solution contributing to building an increasingly strong trade union organization, meeting the requirements in the new situation.
