Thereby contributing to raising awareness and sense of labor discipline, as well as equipping union members and workers with legal knowledge to be able to protect their legitimate and legal rights and interests.

In addition to direct consultation, through documents and electronic messages, since 2019, implementing the direction of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor on "Improving the effectiveness of online legal consultation activities for union members and workers", the Provincial Federation of Labor has developed a consultation model through the Federation's electronic information page, through social networking applications such as the Quang Ngai Trade Union Fanpage, Zalo...

Not only providing legal advice to union members and workers, the Provincial Trade Union Legal Consulting Office is also ready to provide legal support, accompanying workers to protect their legitimate rights and interests when related to litigation activities.

Mr. Tran Dai Thang - Vice Chairman of the Provincial Labor Federation said that the Provincial Trade Union Legal Consulting Office has promoted its role in consulting and answering legal questions, helping union members recognize and protect themselves when their legitimate and legal rights and interests are being violated.

In the coming time, we will continue to pay attention to improving the qualifications, consulting skills and in-depth legal knowledge for the staff and propagandists, to ensure that consulting activities are always quick, timely, accurate, and worthy of being a place for union members and workers to put their trust - Mr. Thang shared.
