Taking care of workers at the end of the year

In the last months of the year, Hai Phong also begins a season of special care, a season of sharing and bonding, for workers working in industrial parks, factories, ports...

The Trade Union and Makalot Vietnam Garment Company Limited presented savings books to support workers in difficulty.

Care from the grassroots

As the year comes to an end, there is more work in factories and enterprises, making it harder for workers. Understanding this, many levels, sectors and trade unions in Hai Phong have taken action early.

Since the beginning of the fourth quarter, many businesses have organized a review of the lives, salaries, and bonuses of their employees. The meetings between the Union and business representatives have been quiet but practical, with the sole goal of not leaving any employee behind.

Ms. Tran Thi Hang at MK2 factory, Makalot Vietnam Garment Company Limited (Ha Tay commune) emotionally said: "I have just received a savings book worth 6 million VND from the Union and the enterprise. This is a great joy for my family, helping me have the motivation to overcome difficulties and work with peace of mind."

Ms. Hang is one of 82 union members and workers with difficult circumstances at Makalot Vietnam Garment Company Limited who were given savings books. This is an annual activity of the enterprise and organization in mid-October to encourage and show gratitude to workers.

Not only giving out savings books, Makalot Vietnam Garment Company Limited often spends from 300 million VND - 400 million VND/year to organize a "lucky draw" program at the end of the year. The prizes are all practical items for the daily life of workers such as: bicycles, rice cookers, televisions, refrigerators, washing machines...

Mr. Kevin Lee, Deputy General Director of Makalot Vietnam Garment Co., Ltd. said: “We are striving to build better policies and regimes for employees every year so that they can have a better and more modern working environment and consider this as their second home to join hands in developing the business.”

Businesses are making efforts to ensure payment of salaries and bonuses to employees at the end of the year.

In recent years, the care for Tet for workers in Hai Phong has not stopped at providing material support. Also in October, more than 300 workers of Meiko Hai Duong Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Phuc Dien Industrial Park) learned about the Law on Social Insurance and enthusiastically participated in the 17th sports festival organized by the company's Trade Union. Activities to care for the spirit and create motivation for workers are organized by most businesses in the industrial park.

In addition, the Trade Union at all levels also increased inspection and grasp of the situation of salary and bonus payment of enterprises, to avoid salary arrears and late payment during Tet holiday.

Sustainable "fulcrum"

Many year-end sports and cultural activities are organized by many enterprises in industrial parks to improve the spiritual life of workers.

According to the plan, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor will mobilize maximum resources so that all union members and workers can have a happy, safe and healthy Tet holiday on the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2026.

At the General Confederation level, delegations will be organized to visit, give gifts and wish a Happy New Year to workers in enterprises, industrial parks, export processing zones, remote areas, and those in arduous occupations or those affected by natural disasters. Each Tet gift is expected to be worth 1.3 million VND (including 1 million VND in cash and 300,000 VND in kind).

It is expected that during the 2026 Lunar New Year, trade unions at all levels will mobilize about 6,000 billion VND to care for and support union members and workers nationwide. This year, the scale and resources are expected to increase by 10-15%.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan Anh, Vice President of the Hai Phong City Labor Federation, the City Labor Federation plans to take care of giving gifts, subsidies, and bus tickets to go home for Tet to about 60,000 workers from distant provinces (from 150 km or more)... In addition to the budget from the Trade Union, the City Labor Federation plans to propose the City People's Committee to support 20 billion VND to take care of Tet for workers.

One of the major events planned by the City Labor Federation in the fourth quarter of this year is a job fair in both the East and West of the city with the participation of 400 businesses in need of recruiting workers, demonstrating the Union's support for businesses. At the same time, it will expand job search opportunities for workers, especially the freelance workforce.

The program will be an effective bridge between workers and businesses, contributing to solving employment at the end of the year, creating a sustainable shift in labor structure, meeting the socio -economic development requirements of the city and the country.
