Understanding the difficult circumstances of union members, the grassroots unions have proposed that the higher-level unions support funding to build "Union Shelters" for union members Nguyen Thi Huyen and Dong Thi Thuy Duong. Accordingly, the Hanoi City Labor Federation has supported union members Nguyen Thi Huyen - Bach Ha Kindergarten Union and union members Dong Thi Thuy Duong - Nam Trieu Primary School Union with 40 million VND each to build "Union Shelters". With the support of the union organization, the school, colleagues and relatives, the union members have been motivated to build a spacious and solid house for their families. Up to now, the 2 "Union Shelters" of union members Nguyen Thi Huyen and Dong Thi Thuy Duong have been completed and put into use.
