Maintaining peace for workers in boarding houses
As the end of the year approaches, when the security and order situation is potentially complicated, the fact that landlords and tenants raise their vigilance and comply with regulations is considered an important solution to maintain peace in worker dormitories.
Proactively tighten security from the root
At Ms. Bui Thi Kim Dam's boarding house (next to Tra Noc Industrial Park, Can Tho City), the security and order situation of nearly 40 boarding rooms is always managed quite strictly. This is also one of the models participating in the "Self-management Group for Workers' Boarding Houses" implemented by the Can Tho City Trade Union for a long time.
According to Ms. Dam, the Trade Union, Government and local police regularly organize training sessions and propaganda on preventing and combating social evils for landlords in the area. She always participates fully and receives information, then disseminates it to workers who are renting. "The content of propaganda focuses on preventing and combating drugs, theft, gambling and ensuring security and order. We landlords also exchange management experiences with each other to promptly handle unusual situations," Ms. Dam said.
Not stopping there, even Ms. Dam herself is quite meticulous in choosing rooms for rent. When workers come to rent, Ms. Dam always reviews information and disseminates regulations, which strictly stipulate not to gather for drinking and causing disorder, not to organize gambling, or use drugs. "If I detect that the hirer shows signs of being related to social evils, I will request her to leave. In serious cases, I will immediately report to the police force for handling" - Ms. Dam said.
Management from the beginning is considered one of the measures to prevent crime and social evils from entering boarding houses, ensuring safety for workers and laborers living there.
Workers jointly maintain security in the rented room area
In industrial parks, where the number of workers renting rooms is large and fluctuating, the spirit of self-management also plays an important role in risk prevention. Having lived in Ms. Dam's boarding house for many years, Ms. Thuy Linh (worker in Tra Noc Industrial Park), shared that at the end of the year, workers often work overtime and are busy, so they must pay more attention to protecting their property. "I myself always strictly comply with boarding house regulations, do not gather to drink and drink loudly to avoid conflicts arising. When I see strangers showing signs of lingering and suspicious behavior around the area, the workers immediately report to the landlord" - Ms. Linh said.
Ms. Tran Thi Mai (worker in Tra Noc Industrial Park) said that sharing warning information has become a habit of workers in the boarding house area. "People often remind each other to raise their vigilance against theft and fraud tricks at the end of the year. People who have lived for many years like us also proactively support homeowners to monitor the general situation" - Ms. Mai affirmed. According to Ms. Mai, ensuring security is not only the responsibility of homeowners but also requires the joint efforts of workers.
Trade union levels in Can Tho City have established more than 35 "Self-management groups for workers' boarding houses", attracting over 1,800 workers to participate. Self-management groups have been and are promoting practical effectiveness in maintaining security and order in boarding house areas, contributing to creating a safe living environment, helping workers feel secure in living and working.
