Union action in Can Tho: New members and support for workers!
On June 10, 2025, a remarkable occasion took place in Can Tho: Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Tan, the vice president of Can Tho City Labor Federation, presented the symbol sign of the Trade Union House to Luu Minh Duc, a dedicated worker of Can Tho Seafood Import-Export Joint Stock Company. This ceremony symbolized the union's active role in supporting its members and was accompanied by numerous activities carried out over the last six months.
The Can Tho Export Processing and Industrial Zones Union has closely monitored the situation of its members and workers. The focus was on promoting and protecting their rights. Particularly noteworthy are various practical activities that have taken place in recent months. Among other things, the “Workers’ Market 2025” was launched and a special “union dinner” took place. More than 3,794 gifts worth a total of over VND1.7 billion were distributed to union members and workers in difficult life situations. In addition, the union is supporting the construction of two new union housing facilities to provide a safe home for its members.
New membership record
Another important point was the mobilization work to attract new members. From the beginning of 2025 to the present day, the number of new admissions has increased to an impressive 2,711. This brought the total number of rank-and-file unions to 62 and membership to 28,238. This shows that trade union work not only has a good hand for workers' rights, but is also crucial for many people in the region.
These services are part of the comprehensive trade union activities, which also enjoy legal protection. Trade unions are protected in their existence in accordance with Article 9 Paragraph 3 of the Basic Law. They are allowed to use company notice boards and distribute information material - but only as long as the peace in the company is not jeopardized, as Haufe's report explains. Employers are not allowed to remove union notices on their own and must definitely take workplace safety into account. However, recruiting members is generally not permitted during working hours if it significantly affects operational matters.
Activities as a sign of commitment
In this context, the award of 11 scholarships to children of workers and employees who have excelled at school is further evidence of the union's commitment. These initiatives not only strengthen the community, but also show that the union cares about the future of the next generation.
In conclusion, the activities and achievements of the union in Can Tho are a strong sign of the relevance and commitment of unions today. They ensure that the voice of workers is heard and that social values, such as supporting families and protecting jobs, are not forgotten.
