From August to the end of September 2025, 51 grassroots trade unions in the province implemented the "Trade Union Meal" program, benefiting nearly 27,000 workers. The "Trade Union Meal" meals were equivalent to the value of a regular daily meal, with an additional amount exceeding 1 billion VND supported by grassroots trade union finances and social mobilization efforts. The criteria for the "Trade Union Meal" included ensuring food safety and hygiene, and not impacting business operations, aiming to benefit all workers. Therefore, the "Trade Union Meal" program was organized with close coordination between grassroots trade unions and enterprise leaders, creating consensus and positive response from workers. In some businesses, the "Union Meal" not only contributes to the practical care of workers' lives but also serves as an opportunity to recruit new members, give birthday gifts, provide gifts to workers in difficult circumstances, and understand the thoughts and aspirations of workers...

Comrade Do Thi Huong, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the province and Chairman of the Provincial Labor Union, emphasized: “The ‘Trade Union Meal’ is a meaningful activity initiated by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor , contributing to affirming the role and responsibility of trade union organizations in caring for and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of union members and workers. It is also an opportunity for workers, trade unions, and enterprise leaders to share, listen to each other's thoughts and aspirations, fostering understanding, solidarity, and close ties, contributing to building harmonious, stable, and developing labor relations.”
