In addition, many grassroots unions have also integrated the program with activities such as: Propagating policies; rewarding and giving gifts to union members. In particular, the Provincial Labor Federation allocated funds to give 207 gifts to union members and workers in difficult circumstances (worth 1 million VND/gift).
