A very important task is that trade unions at all levels need to strengthen their advice to Party committees and authorities to organize meetings and dialogues with workers and laborers; through which it is not only simply to propagate and resolve specific policies; but importantly, it is also to create a bond and closeness, so that workers see that Party committees, authorities, and trade unions are always their support. Besides, in the dialogue, it is also necessary to support workers to ensure their legitimate rights and interests.

The Provincial Party Secretary requested the Provincial Federation of Labor and trade unions at all levels to continue to care for the lives of workers and laborers, especially those in difficult circumstances; continue to promote the spirit of solidarity and unanimity, and strive to fulfill the resolutions of the Party and trade union organizations.
