Kinhtedothi - The "Trade Union Tet Journey - Spring 2025" program of the Hanoi Trade Union officially launched this morning, January 25th (the 26th day of the 12th lunar month of the Year of the Dragon), with dozens of buses taking 1,200 workers employed in Hanoi's industrial and export processing zones back to their hometowns to celebrate Tet.
Attending and seeing off workers returning home for Tet were Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor Phan Van Anh; Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People's Council Pham Qui Tien; Chairman of the Hanoi Confederation of Labor Pham Quang Thanh, representatives of departments, agencies of Hanoi City and Hanoi Industrial and Export Processing Zones.
Speaking at the event, Chairman of the Hanoi Federation of Labor Unions Pham Quang Thanh said that in the past year, the Hanoi Labor Union, with its functions and duties, has always stood side by side with its members and workers. In 2024, the city's Labor Unions at all levels allocated over 200 billion VND from their budgets to care for and support union members and workers in difficult circumstances; and supported the repair and construction of 35 new "Labor Union Homes".
Especially during this year's Lunar New Year (Year of the Snake), in order to practically care for and support the material and spiritual lives of union members and workers, with the motto of ensuring that no union member or worker is left without a New Year celebration, the Hanoi City Federation of Labor Unions has provided support to 48,000 disadvantaged workers, with a total amount exceeding 42 billion VND; thereby creating peace of mind, encouraging and motivating workers to remain committed to their businesses and the trade union organization; and working with higher productivity and better quality.
According to the Chairman of the Hanoi City Federation of Labor, understanding the concerns of workers who work far from home during the Lunar New Year holiday, and aiming to further motivate workers to work and produce well, for the Lunar New Year of the Year of the Snake 2025, the Hanoi City Federation of Labor provided 5,000 bus tickets in cash to workers, totaling 1.77 billion VND; and supported transportation for 1,200 workers from the Trade Unions of Industrial and Export Processing Zones to return home to celebrate Tet with their families, with destinations including Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh , and some northern provinces.
In addition, the Labor Federations of districts, towns, and cities, as well as industry-specific trade unions, have implemented and organized programs to support disadvantaged workers in the area with transportation, train tickets, and bus tickets to return home to celebrate Tet with their families.
This is the 17th consecutive year that the city's trade unions have organized this activity, creating a positive effect and encouraging businesses to join hands with trade unions in caring for union members and workers. During the Lunar New Year of 2025, thousands of buses were organized by businesses in coordination with grassroots trade unions to transport workers back to their hometowns for the Tet holiday and to bring them back to work after the holiday.
"Through this activity, the Standing Committee of the Ho Chi Minh City Federation of Labor Unions hopes that all levels and sectors, especially employers and businesses, will pay attention and actively cooperate with the Labor Union to care for the material and spiritual lives of workers, strengthen the bond between workers and businesses; improve the quality of human resources and the competitiveness of businesses; increase labor productivity, and build a strong workforce to meet the requirements of national development in the new era," emphasized Pham Quang Thanh, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Federation of Labor Unions.
Extending best New Year wishes to workers and their families, the Chairman of the Hanoi City Federation of Labor Unions expressed confidence that the workers of the capital city will uphold the spirit of solidarity, strive, and compete to overcome difficulties and challenges, working with the highest sense of responsibility, discipline, and efficiency.
