HANOI (Vietnam News/ANN): Hundreds of disadvantaged workers have received gifts and free bus tickets to return home for the Lunar New Year (Tết) holiday.
Some 800 tickets and Tết presents were given to workers in the northern province of Hưng Yên on Sunday at a year-end gathering organised by the province’s labour federation.
“Thirty buses will be arranged to take the workers home for the holiday as many of them live as far as 150km from the province, ” said Trịnh Văn Bừng, president of the province's labour federation. The party official asked the VGCL and Phú Thọ’s labour federation to improve the performance of grassroots trade unions in protecting the legitimate interests and rights of workers.
