Recognizing the role and responsibility of the trade union as a vital link between businesses and employees, the Trade Union of the Provincial Industrial Zones has recently focused on renewing its activities, centering them around the local needs.

In August, the Trade Union of the Provincial Industrial Zones directed the grassroots trade unions to collaborate with the businesses to organize these "Union Meals”. Over 2,600 union members and employees from five grassroots unions have participated so far. The meals adhered to food safety standards, offering diverse and nutritious menus. Nearly 110 million VND was raised, with the highest meal cost at 85,000 VND per person at Almine Vietnam Co., Ltd.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Dung, an employee at Bandai Vietnam Co., Ltd., shared, "Although it’s just a meal, my colleagues and I are very happy to receive the attention from the company's leadership and the grassroots union. Our daily meals are already substantial and meet the standards, the "Union Meal'” offers more food and includes extra dessert options. I hope this program continues and becomes more regular”.

Moreover, 33 collective labor agreements have been signed with the improved conditions for workers.
In the celebration of the 95th anniversary, the Trade Union of the Provincial Industrial Zones organized various meaningful programs and activities aimed at the grassroots level, promoting a spirit of "Excellent and Creative Employees” in businesses while enhancing the cultural and spiritual life for employees. The notable events include employee’s dance competition, sports tournaments, and recognition of the outstanding trade union officials in the industrial zones.

Moving forward, the Trade Union of the Provincial Industrial Zones will continue to place the employees’ benefits at the center of its activities, focusing on the meaningful programs that enhance employees’ material and spiritual lives.
