The figures were shared at a conference held in Ho Chi Minh City on November 13, reviewing the program’s operations from 2015 to 2024.

Tran Thi Thanh Ha, head of the VGCL’s labor relations department, said that this initiative, supported by the Party, State, and various organizations, businesses, and benefactors, aims to improve workers’ welfare and protect their interests.

Over the decade, local unions nationwide organized nearly 187,000 events within the framework of the program, engaging over 33 million members and workers. Among these activities were more than 4,600 “Tet-union” markets that provided nearly 3.6 million union members and workers with essential goods, free train and bus tickets for over 2.9 million workers, and over 17,000 bus trips arranged to bring nearly 653,400 workers home for Tet celebrations. More than 54,888 cultural and recreational events, including sports, galas, and entertainment activities, were also held.

At the conference, representatives suggested enhancing cooperation and sharing implementation experiences among localities to diversify activities. They also recommended additional resource support for remote areas with economic challenges and increasing the value of gifts provided to workers.
