Dialogue to resolve 263 petitions of industrial park workers in Hai Phong

Effective connection channel with union members

In the third quarter and October 2026, clubs continue to promote their role as a bridge for exchanging information, sharing experiences and supporting trade union activities at enterprises.

In the quarter, 95 grassroots trade unions organized 130 dialogues at workplaces, with at least 263 recommendations and proposals being resolved; at least 17 grassroots trade unions signed collective labor agreements. Workers enjoy many regimes and benefits such as salary increases in 2026 averaging 535,000 VND/person/month, bonus for the 13th month's salary averaging 1.09 months' salary. Some common support items include attendance allowance 467,000 VND/person/month, travel 466,000 VND, rent 383,000 VND and raising young children about 70,000 VND/person/month. The average value of lunch meals is 30,000 VND/person/meal, an increase of 3,000 VND/portion compared to 2025.

Along with salaries and benefits, working conditions continue to be concerned. There are 307 businesses arranging for employees to take Saturday off and 196 businesses organizing mid-shift exercises. In the third quarter, many grassroots trade unions participated in proposing adjustments to working hours, increasing mid-shift breaks, arranging earlier dismissal, improving toilets, supplementing air conditioning, water to compensate for electrolytes and support equipment at the workplace...

Not only directly supporting trade union activities, clubs also promote the role of collecting and classifying difficulties beyond the authority of enterprises such as housing, transportation, kindergartens, recruitment, labor fluctuations and administrative procedures to propose to functional agencies for consideration and resolution. Thereby, gradually becoming a practical connection channel, contributing to improving the capacity of grassroots trade union officials as well as the effectiveness of representing and protecting the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of workers.

Focusing on taking care of Tet for union members

Attending and directing the conference, Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan - Chairman of Hai Phong City Labor Federation - emphasized that in the coming time, trade union levels need to focus on solving practical issues directly related to employment, life and welfare of union members and workers.

In which, in the face of the situation that many businesses lack human resources, the City Labor Federation has contacted the Labor Federations of mountainous provinces, planning to organize a job fair in Son La (November 2026) to attract workers to Hai Phong to work.

Regarding social housing, the City Labor Federation will organize survey teams to survey the actual needs of workers, as a basis for advising the city to develop appropriate solutions, striving to have 60,000 apartments to serve union members and workers by 2030.

Trade union levels need to focus on improving the quality of collective labor agreements and solutions to care for workers' health. The City Labor Federation is studying a plan to open clinics to serve workers and their families; and at the same time, requesting businesses to pay attention to organizing periodic health check-ups, creating conditions for workers to participate in physical training activities.

Regarding the immediate task of taking care of Tet for union members and workers, the Chairman of Hai Phong City Labor Federation proposed that grassroots trade unions proactively propose to businesses to increase gift levels, support and diversify care activities, ensuring the motto that each union member and worker has Tet, celebrating Tet happily and warmly. The city also plans to allocate 100 billion VND for Tet care activities for workers.

Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan also requested the Clubs of Chairmen and Vice Chairmen of Grassroots Trade Unions to continue to strengthen exchanges, connections, share experiences, and support each other in skills of dialogue and negotiation, promptly identifying and coordinating to handle problems arising in labor relations.
