Taking care of the lives of workers and laborers.

In 2025, with the theme "Focus on developing union membership; participate in building a clean and strong Party," trade unions at all levels in Tay Ninh province will continuously innovate the content and methods of their activities, focusing strongly on the grassroots level, paying attention to practical and timely care for workers, helping them feel secure in their work, committed to long-term employment with enterprises, and contributing to the socio-economic development of the province.

Strengthening supervision and protecting workers' rights.

In recent times, the work of caring for and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of union members and workers has continued to be implemented more comprehensively, decisively, and effectively by all levels of trade unions in the province. In the context of businesses facing numerous pressures, market fluctuations, and the need for organizational restructuring, the role of trade unions has been further affirmed through proactive coordination, supervision, and support for workers in all aspects of labor relations.

Trade union levels actively participate in providing feedback on the development of policies and laws related to workers and trade union organizations; seriously implement new legal regulations, focusing on the implementation of the Trade Union Law.

In particular, trade union levels coordinate with relevant agencies to inspect and monitor compliance with labor laws, social insurance, health insurance, unemployment insurance, and other regulations related to workers to prevent disputes leading to collective work stoppages. Trade union levels regularly monitor the payment of wages and Lunar New Year bonuses at enterprises; proactively identify unusual signs to promptly advise and propose solutions to stabilize labor relations; grassroots trade unions negotiate with employers to improve the quality of meals provided to workers, and coordinate periodic inspections to ensure food safety and proper nutrition for workers.

The negotiation, signing, and monitoring of collective labor agreements continue to be widely implemented, contributing to improved welfare and creating a stable working environment for union members and workers.

In 2025, the Provincial Labor Union received, advised, and provided legal support to 1,263 workers; and organized 16 mobile legal consultation sessions with the participation of more than 5,200 workers. These mobile consultation activities helped workers access policies directly and easily, minimizing risks during the implementation of labor contracts and related rights.

Providing support for union members and workers.

In 2025, activities to care for the Lunar New Year (Year of the Snake) continued to be a prominent highlight of the Provincial Trade Union. Programs were implemented early, systematically, and widely, clearly demonstrating the motto "All union members and workers have a happy New Year." During the recent Tet holiday, the Provincial Federation of Labor (LĐLĐ) distributed 43,700 "Warm Spring of Trade Union Love" gifts, totaling 42.3 billion VND, to union members and workers in difficult circumstances; and organized provincial leaders to visit and extend New Year greetings to 20 enterprises.

In addition, the "Tet Reunion - Spring Gratitude to the Party" program was implemented at 2 locations; the "Trade Union Tet Market 2025" took place at 8 locations with more than 100 welfare stalls, helping workers buy essential goods at preferential prices. The provincial trade union also organized 23 "Trade Union - Spring 2025" bus trips with 958 tickets of compassion, providing free transportation for workers to return home for Tet; and coordinated the organization of 20 year-end and spring celebration programs at various lodging areas.

Ms. Nguyen Thuy Linh, a worker at Viva Vina Co., Ltd. (Hau Nghia commune), shared: “Workers still face many difficulties in their lives, so shopping for Tet (Lunar New Year), preparing money to go home for Tet, etc., are a major worry. Given this reality, the Provincial Labor Union and all levels of trade unions have shown concern, support, and timely care for workers during the Lunar New Year, which I find very encouraging. For me, the Tet gift worth 1 million VND is not only valuable in terms of material value but also provides encouragement and brings joy in the new year.”

Besides caring for its members, the Provincial Labor Union also demonstrated its social responsibility by coordinating the implementation of the Tet Military-Civilian Program in 2025, donating 50 gift packages to officers and soldiers in border areas. Trade unions at all levels also proactively implemented many creative and appropriate forms of care tailored to the specific characteristics of each locality and unit.

In total, during the Lunar New Year of the Year of the Snake 2025, the entire province provided care and gifts to 617,940 union members and workers with a total budget of 287.046 billion VND from union funds and social contributions. In addition, the Provincial Labor Union visited 21 union members suffering from serious illnesses (total cost of 61 million VND) and handed over 69 union-sponsored homes, each costing 70 million VND, to support union members facing housing difficulties.

To commemorate the founding day of the Vietnam Trade Union (July 28th), the Provincial Federation of Labor Unions organized a Trade Union meal at 6 locations with the participation of 8 grassroots trade unions, and distributed 300 gifts (worth 300 million VND) to union members in difficult circumstances. Hundreds of other grassroots trade unions also proactively organized collective meals, creating a space for bonding and boosting the morale of workers.

In addition, the Provincial Labor Union organized a working group led by leaders of the Provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee and relevant departments and agencies to visit and present gifts to workers at two enterprises to assess labor relations and identify difficulties and obstacles faced by employers and employees. Based on this, the Provincial Labor Union promptly advised the Provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee and proposed solutions to the province and relevant departments to support enterprises in restoring production and stabilizing employment for workers.

In addition, trade union branches visited and supported 8 union members suffering from serious illnesses or accidents (amounting to 28 million VND); presented 100 gifts to outstanding trade union officials and union members in difficult circumstances at the "Workers' Aspiration - Trust in the Party" forum; and signed a Union Member Welfare program with 7 businesses, expanding benefits for union members.

Overall, welfare activities were implemented in a timely, practical manner, encompassing both material and spiritual well-being. The trade union continued to affirm its representative and protective role through negotiating and signing collective labor agreements, improving meal allowances, providing legal advice, and offering timely support to workers facing difficulties.

The 2025 Workers' Month, themed "Vietnamese Workers Pioneering into a New Era," was marked by numerous diverse activities, creating a competitive spirit among union members, workers, and employees. In response to the Action Month on Occupational Safety and Health, trade unions at all levels organized many practical programs such as sports events, competitions, performances, and football matches; and visited and supported workers who suffered work-related accidents or serious illnesses.

It is an encouragement for me to continue striving, overcoming difficulties, and staying committed to the company for the long term. I hope that workers will continue to receive attention and more practical policies."
