Trade Union Tet Market supports workers
The Trade Union Tet Market - Spring 2026 organized by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor (VGCL) is being implemented for the first time in Ho Chi Minh City for three days, January 30, 31, and February 1, and is assessed by many union members, workers, and trade union officials as a practical and humane program bearing the trade union brand.
Practical for workers
Present at the Trade Union Tet Market - Spring 2026 from early morning at the weekend, Ms. Thuy Linh, a nanny at Nguyen Duc Canh Elementary School, excitedly shared that the atmosphere at the Trade Union Tet Market - Spring 2026 is very bustling. According to Ms. Linh, the Tet Market has many rich and diverse items, meeting the shopping needs of workers. In addition, activities to care for workers, especially those in difficult circumstances, are organized thoughtfully and practically, showing the concern and sharing of the Trade Union organization.
Ms. Tran Thi My Hanh, a worker at Ho Chi Minh City Urban Environment Company, who received a shopping voucher, recounted her family's difficult circumstances when raising a child with cerebral palsy for more than 20 years, while her salary is about more than 11 million VND/month, and her husband's salary as a security guard is less than 7 million VND. During Tet, the company rewarded her with 16 million VND and the grassroots trade union's gifts are necessities for Tet. "I am very happy to receive a shopping voucher from the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour. This gift will help my family's Tet become warmer," Ms. Hanh said.
And Mr. Pham Binh Quy, a worker at Ho Chi Minh City Urban Environment Company, said that he had an accident and severed a tendon in his leg, so he had to quit his job for more than 4 months. His wife does not have a stable job, and the couple also raises a child who is in school, so life is difficult. Although the company pays attention and cares for him, due to less working time, the Tet bonus is also lower than everyone else. Therefore, a shopping voucher worth 500,000 VND given by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor to buy goods at the Trade Union Tet Market - Spring 2026 has helped his family have more items for Tet.
The shopping vouchers from the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour given to my family at this time are very precious and practical, because they will help us have essential necessities for Tet," Mr. Quy said.
Ms. Tran Hong Thao My, Chairwoman of the Trade Union of Sao Mai Kindergarten, Xuan Hoa Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, commented: "The Trade Union Tet Market - Spring 2026 is rich in humanity, very practical, helping union members and workers have a happier and warmer Tet.
