Dong Thap focuses on grassroots levels for the development of female union members and workers
Dong Thap - On October 15th, the Provincial Labor Federation organized a series of activities to honor, care for and improve the quality of life for female union members and workers.
Series of practical activities to celebrate the 96th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam Women's Union (October 20, 1930 - October 20, 2026) and the 16th anniversary of Vietnamese Women's Day (October 20, 2010 - October 20, 2026).
Accordingly, the seminar conference with the theme "Improving the quality of women's work activities in the new situation" attracted the enthusiastic participation and contributions of a large number of delegates.
This is a practical forum for trade union levels to jointly recognize and deeply evaluate the overall picture and outstanding results of women's work from 2025 to present.
Currently, Dong Thap province has 796 grassroots trade unions and grassroots trade unions with 217,381 union members out of a total of 230,513 workers, civil servants, and laborers; in which the female force accounts for a large proportion with 142,115 union members.
Trade union levels have established 372/428 grassroots Mass Women's Committees, effectively promoting the core role of advising the Executive Committee. Notably, the proportion of female officials participating in the Executive Committee of the Provincial Labor Federation reached 60.6%, affirming the position and important contribution of the female trade union official team.
In 2025 and the first 9 months of 2026, trade union levels have organized visits to hundreds of thousands of union members in difficult circumstances with tens of billions of VND. Many practical models continue to be maintained and effectively replicated.
With a frank and responsible spirit, the conference focused on discussing and proposing many practical solutions to innovate operating methods, strengthen the representative role, protect the legitimate and lawful rights of female workers, and include more beneficial contents in the Collective Labor Agreement in the coming time.
Ms. Huynh Thi Tuyet Vui, Chairwoman of the Provincial Labor Federation, respectfully received the heartfelt contributions of delegates to complete the work program in the coming time.
Emphasizing the motto "Towards grassroots level, taking female union members and workers as the center", the Provincial Labor Federation proposed that trade union levels focus on improving the quality of the Mass Women's Committee; innovate practical activities, avoid formality; focus on negotiating to include beneficial terms on employment, maternity, and welfare in the Collective Labor Agreement; and at the same time continue to maintain and replicate effective care models such as "Pregnant Women and Child Raising Clubs" in the next period.
Next, the culinary contest with the theme "Reunion member meal" took place right at the Dong Thap Provincial Labor Federation agency.
The contest brings a space for exchange and strengthens solidarity between full-time and part-time trade union officials.
