More than 4.4 trillion VND spent on caring for trade union members and workers during Tet

Labour federations across the country have spent more than 4.4 trillion VND on organising activities and presenting gifts to over 6.5 million trade union members and workers on the occasion of the Lunar New Year (Tet) festival.

The money has been used to provide financial support for disadvantaged trade union members; buy air, bus, and train tickets to help poor workers to return to their home villages for Tet; and hold Tet celebrations for those who cannot return.

Notably, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour (VGCL) has passed a resolution on support to its members and workers who had their working time reduced or lost their jobs from October 2022 because their enterprise suffered a reduction in orders.

Accordingly, trade union members will receive a financial aid from 1 million VND if they lost their jobs or halted working for at least 14 straight days between October 1, 2022, and March 31, 2023. Members who lost their jobs or halted working for at least 30 straight days will receive 2 million VND.

Those who have their labour contracts terminated between October 1, 2022, and March 31, 2023, but fail to get unemployment insurance benefits will be granted 3 million VND each.

Workers who are not trade union members will be given support equal to 70% of the support for members.
