Over 12 billion VND from the Trade Union helps 1,300 workers overcome difficulties
The lives of many union members and workers have changed for the better thanks to the support of the Trade Union organization.
Improving living conditions with support from the trade union
Nearly a year has passed since the Ba Ria - Vung Tau Provincial Federation of Labor supported and handed over the "Union Shelter", Mr. Nguyen Thanh Lan (residing in Long Dat District, Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province) is still very touched. Mr. Lan said that before, his residence with his two children was a temporary house with a wooden wall, covering a porch over a piece of land of more than 53 square meters.
The salary of more than 4 million VND when working at the local Tourist Area Management Board is not enough for him to improve his place of residence, because he has to raise 2 children who are still in school. The life of the family of 3 became even more difficult when the rainy season came, the whole family had to cover the front and back, unable to stabilize their studies and daily activities.
The Labor Federation of Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province supported and in July 2024 handed over the "union shelter" so that his father and son had a proper accommodation. "Without the support of the College, it is still a long time before my family improved the living conditions. The attention of the CD organization has helped us to stabilize the accommodation, peace of mind and study.
In Binh Thuan, from 2024 to now, there have been dozens of "Union Shelters" given wings by the Binh Thuan Provincial Trade Union Social Fund to wish to have a house for union members. Each "Union Shelter" is supported by the Fund with 40 million VND. From this "push", combined with the support of relatives and additional loans from friends, many union members and workers have more solid and spacious houses to live in.
Recently, the "Union Shelter" has realized the dream of having a level 4 house for Mr. Tran Dinh Khoa, Binh Thuan College under the Binh Thuan Provincial Civil Servants' Union.
Mr. Khoa and his wife are both civil servants and have difficulties. From the proposal of the Trade Union, Mr. Khoa's family was supported with 40 million VND, combined with loans and savings, his family also built a new house worth 250 million VND and is living very happily.
