With the breeding cow and other support from Company 75, the family of Ro Lan H'Van now enjoys a better life. |
Since then, she has had a stable source of income, social insurance, health insurance. She received support to build a “Trade Union warm house,” a breeding cow, and was lent land to grow rice and other crops. With accumulated capital, her family has developed a coffee garden and their life is gradually getting better.
Like Ro Lan H'Van, thousands of families of other Trade Union members and laborers of Corps 15 have been assisted with vocational training, livelihoods, and income increase.
In this year alone, the corps is expected to finance the construction of more than 80 houses at a cost of more than VND 5 billion; present thousands of breeding cattle, seedlings and tens of thousands of gifts to Trade Union members, laborers and people in the garrison locality.
For Tran Binh Minh in Sung Le Tung village, Ia Kla commune, Duc Co district, a worker at Livestock Factory of Company 74, Corps 15, he clearly feels the happiness from the "Trade Union warm house” program. The house has helped his family feel secure and ease hardships when their child has chronic liver disease requiring long-term and costly treatment.
Reality shows that the workers’ movement and Trade Union activities of Corps 15 truly look towards laborers and their living standard. The unit’s Trade Union organizations have well performed their functions and roles, created a democratic and transparent environment, ensured legal rights and interests of businesses and employees, especially creating jobs, stable income and improving the cultural and spiritual life of ethnic minority laborers. They have also proposed numerous practical programs and movements, encouraging laborers to devote.
Over the past five years, Trade Union members’ 32 projects, seven initiatives and technical improvements, numerous works, and products have benefited the unit with nearly VND 2.2 billion. In addition, workers’ movements have partly contributed to the unit’s political task fulfillment, higher turnover, and production values.
Senior Colonel Khuat Ba Cao, Secretary of the Party Committee and Second-in-Command of Corps 15, said that the success of the workers' movement and Trade Union activities of the unit comes from the full awareness of the role and importance of Trade Union organizations, the building of strong contingent of Trade Union cadres who dare to think, speak, do, take responsibility, innovate, be creative, cope with difficulties and challenges and act for the common good.
