Top legislator attends Tet gathering in Binh Duong
Chairwoman of the National Assembly Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan joined workers in the southern Binh Duong province in a lunar New Year (Tet) gathering held by the province’s labor federation on January 26.
Delivering a speech to over 200 local workers participating in the event, Ngan affirmed that the Party and State always pay attention to caring for the living conditions of laborers, particularly those who work far away from home.
Guided by this policy, trade unions at different levels have organized practical programs in support of disadvantaged workers, she said, praising efforts made by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor and the provincial labor federation.

Local businesses, monitoring by trade unions, have treated their employees well, particularly when Tet approaches, Ngan noted, urging workers to adhere to rules of the working places and come up with innovative ideas to boost productivity.
On the occasion, the top legislator presented 100 gifts worth VND 1.3 million (USD 56.33) each to disadvantaged workers, while the provincial Labor Confederation handed over 110 gifts worth VND 1 million (USD 43.33) each and 150 coach tickets to the group.
