Over 395 billion VND to take care of union members and workers

Helping workers

The DSEZA MARATHON 2025 Running Run with the theme "Connecting Steps - Joining Hands to Sharing" organized by the Management Board of Da Nang High-Tech Park and Industrial Parks (DSEZA) in coordination with the City Labor Federation and Lao Dong Newspaper on December 21 brought a very special performance.

That is, in addition to sponsoring the award - the Da Nang City Labor Federation also organized the giving of 20 gifts, each worth 1 million VND in cash, to 20 union members and workers in especially difficult circumstances at the following units: Central Seafood Import-Export Joint Stock Company; UAC Vietnam Co., Ltd.; Foxlink Indonesia Co., Ltd.; Fujikura Automotive Vietnam Co., Ltd.; Premo Vietnam Co., Ltd.; CCI Vietnam Co., Ltd.; Germton Industrial Company Limited.

Ms. Bh'ieu Ngoi - a member of the Co Tu ethnic group, currently working as a worker at the Central Seafood Import-Export Joint Stock Company - is one of 20 union members receiving gifts. Unable to suppress her emotions, she shared that she came from the western part of Da Nang to the city to rent a room to work as a worker.

In addition to supporting herself, she also sends money to support her elderly mother every month, so life is very difficult.

Recently, she also had a work accident (hand Clapped, tendon rupture), and had to be hospitalized for surgery, making her situation even more difficult.

I dont know what else to say but to be grateful to the Trade Union organizations at all levels that have always cared for me, cared for me and supported me - she said when receiving the gift.

Ms. Tran Thi Thuy - another member of the Central Seafood Import-Export Joint Stock Company - also received support during this period. Her situation is equally worrisome: her husband passed away, she lives in a rented house, her health has been declining for a long time, causing her work to be unstable and her income to be unstable. Receiving the gift at the DSEZA MARATHON Running Championship 2025, tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Not only this year but also before, due to difficult circumstances, every year I received gifts from trade union organizations at different times. Every time I encounter difficulties, I look forward to the Trade Union organization" - Ms. Thuy expressed.

Diversifying forms of care

According to Mr. Le Van Dai - Permanent Vice President of the Da Nang City Labor Federation, in recent times, Da Nang trade unions at all levels have synchronously implemented activities to care for union members and workers in difficulty in many diverse and practical forms.

In addition to "Union Shelter", other typical programs such as "Tet Sum Vay", "Union Tet Market", "Workers' Market", "Thank You Workers", "Union Buses", "Union Meals" ... have become brands, bringing specific benefits to union members. In the 2023-2025 period alone, over 82,500 union members and employees have been cared for with a total budget of over 395 billion VND.

In addition, occupational safety and hygiene (OSH) work has always been focused on through close coordination with authorities and employers. Activities such as mobilizing employees to promote initiatives, improve the working environment; training on safe working skills; organizing fire prevention and fighting drills and promptly visiting, giving gifts, and encouraging workers who have had work accidents or serious illnesses have been carried out regularly. The City Labor Federation also coordinated to organize the Launching Ceremony of the Month of Action on occupational safety and Health and the City-level Excellent Safety and Hygiene Competition.

Funds and capital sources managed by the Da Nang City Labor Federation have been deployed and replicated, helping union members and workers to some extent solve difficulties and work with peace of mind. A typical example is the operation of the Poor Workers' Capital Support Fund, with a revolving capital of more than 64 billion VND, which has resolved loans for 2,195 union members. The capital of the People's Committee of Da Nang City entrusted through the Social Policy Bank also created conditions for 2,368 cadres and civil servants to borrow with an amount of 123.36 billion VND.

It can be seen that the work of caring for union members and workers of the Da Nang Trade Union has achieved comprehensive and practical achievements. Impressive figures on legal support, the rate of signing of collective labor agreements, along with hundreds of billions of VND mobilized for social security programs have affirmed the organization's role as a representative and effective protector.
