Shining examples
At Hoa Sen Nghe An One Member Co., Ltd., Mr. Vu Xuan Hieu - Head of the electroplating maintenance department is considered a talented "inventor" with many valuable initiatives, making tens of billions of dong in profit. His initiatives all stem from the effort to bring the highest value to the business and employees.
Sharing about the latest initiative - the initiative "Design, manufacture and installation of coil-turning line", Mr. Vu Xuan Hieu said: "In the production process, many factors cause good and bad quality galvanized steel products to be mixed, the factory does not have a technological line to separate the defective steel from the finished steel coil, forcing the steel coil to be sold at the lowest price. If a new line is purchased from outside, the investment and maintenance costs will be very high. From that reality, Mr. Hieu has both researched and designed it himself, and mobilized the entire technical department to manufacture the new line. After 5 months from the day of coming up with the idea, the coil-turning line initiative of Mr. Hieu and his colleagues officially went into operation with optimal functionality, flexible use, and the ability to check, evaluate, and process steel coil cutting depending on each specific case. This initiative has benefited the company 28 billion VND/year.
Joining the company since its inception as a technical staff, Mr. Hieu has always strived to learn, be creative, and devote himself to the company and his colleagues, creating many valuable innovation initiatives. From 2019 to present, he has been awarded a Certificate of Merit by the Nghe An Provincial Labor Federation for his outstanding achievements in the emulation movement for good workers and creative workers; the Chairman of the Nghe An Provincial People's Committee awarded a Certificate of Merit for "Outstanding Worker"; the Dong Nam Economic Zone Trade Union honored "Outstanding Worker". Mr. Hieu is also one of four individuals in Nghe An province to be awarded the "Nguyen Duc Canh Award" for the fourth time in 2023 by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor.
Although not technically inclined like Mr. Hieu, Ms. Nguyen Thi Giang - a supervisor of Merry & Luxshare Vietnam Co., Ltd., also had initiatives that benefited both the company and the employees. Her husband passed away when she was pregnant with her second child, Ms. Giang raised her child and took care of her elderly parents-in-law alone. She worked in many jobs, trading everywhere to make ends meet. Looking back on her journey, Ms. Giang affirmed: "Becoming a worker was a big turning point in her life."
In 2020, Ms. Giang followed her friend to apply for a job as a worker at Merry & Luxshare Vietnam Co., Ltd. Her resourcefulness, agility and foreign language skills at work made the factory manager decide to promote her to line manager in a short time. Since taking on the new assignment, Ms. Giang's line has always been at the top of the factory in terms of speed and product quantity. Although her house is more than 15km from the company, she has always been an exemplary line manager, not afraid to leave early and come home late. To ensure fairness and smooth operation of the production line, she applies the method of rotating job positions so that all workers understand the process and proactively support each other when needed.
Not only producing according to the assigned tasks, Ms. Giang also worried about observing and finding solutions to increase productivity and improve maintenance for workers. Her initiative "Replacing test molds with USB cables" was also born from those concerns. This initiative has brought in a total direct value of 135 million VND, at the same time helping workers reduce working hours and increase productivity by 3 times compared to before.
Despite her lack of technical innovation, what Ms. Phan Thi Loan (administrative staff of Wooin Vina Co., Ltd., Dien Chau) has done has made everyone admire. In contrast to her height of 1m26 and weight of 32kg, Ms. Loan has a strong will, admirable perseverance and a heart full of love.
Loan’s family has 5 sisters, 3 of whom are affected by Agent Orange. In a poor family, Loan was born with short and small legs and arms, growing up with constant pain every time the weather changed. No one thought she could finish high school, but Loan studied very well, was an excellent student at the National Economics University and was the valedictorian of universities and colleges in Hanoi in 2012.
After graduating from university, Ms. Loan returned to her hometown and applied to Wooin Vina Co., Ltd. (Dien Chau district) when the company was just established. Once again, Ms. Loan made a miracle when she was accepted and has been with the company for 12 years now. During those 12 years, she was repeatedly awarded the title of excellent employee, diligent employee by the Board of Directors, and was awarded the title of Dedicated Laborer, Exemplary Laborer by the Dien Chau District Labor Federation and Nghe An Provincial Labor Federation in the emulation movement "Good at public work - good at housework" for the period 2010 - 2020.
The three characters above are all individuals on the list of workers honored at the ceremony to honor "Nghe An workers following Uncle Ho's words". The 95 faces honored are 95 typical individuals who are directly working in production, selected by trade unions at all levels from nearly 100,000 union members who are workers in the enterprise sector. Different in fields, but all are exemplary workers, producers, have good qualities and ethics, are typical examples of training and striving to "Studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics and style", leading the emulation movement in Uncle Ho's homeland.

Workers' marks
in emulation movements

It is the main force operating production tools and transferring new technology, meeting the requirements of the trend of industrialization and modernization of agriculture and rural areas.
The class strength, patriotism, and national pride of workers and laborers are most clearly demonstrated in emulation movements and creative labor. With its representative role, Nghe An Trade Union has awakened the potential and strength of the working class.
Patriotic emulation movements in all fields launched by trade unions have been actively participated in and responded to by a large number of union members, civil servants, public employees and workers and have achieved many encouraging results. The emulation movement "Good worker, Creative worker" continues to promote its role, affirming the core and consistent values in the emulation movements of trade unions. Thematic emulation movements "Good at public work - Good at housework", "Green, clean, beautiful, ensuring occupational safety and hygiene", "Culture - Sports" are widely deployed.
In the program "75 thousand initiatives to overcome difficulties and develop", Nghe An leads the country in the number of registrants and the number of people submitting initiatives (23,454 initiatives). In the program "1 million initiatives - efforts to overcome difficulties, creativity, determination to win the Covid-19 pandemic", Nghe An is also in the top with thousands of initiatives bringing in hundreds of billions of VND in profit.

Workers' pride
in Uncle Ho's homeland
In 2024, the image of Nghe An workers dyeing the factory red with the red flag with yellow star was widely shared on social networks. With the keyword "Workers salute the flag", search results almost always show the flag salute activities at the beginning of the week of the union members and workers of Nghe An. The time when this content was posted and shared the most was during the days of Workers' Month and National Day September 2.
Those beautiful images started from the flag-saluting clip of workers in the garment factory of Wooin Vina Co., Ltd. (Dien Chau district) after the Lunar New Year. In the clip, thousands of workers wore red shirts with yellow stars, looked towards the national flag, and placed their hands on their hearts, full of emotion. Taking place at an FDI enterprise, the flag-saluting ceremony had a great meaning of national spirit and patriotism.
From the above clip, the idea of the flag-raising activity at the beginning of the week was sparked by Nghe An Trade Union to be implemented simultaneously in all grassroots trade unions. The consensus of tens of thousands of workers across the province has realized the above idea, creating sacred moments in Workers' Month 2024. Many workers shared that when the National Anthem is played, it is also when national pride and the desire to devote themselves to their homeland and country are urged.
Sharing about the image of the factory glowing red with flags at his company on September 2, Mr. Phan Dinh Tai - Chairman of the Trade Union of Minh Anh Kim Lien Joint Stock Company said: "The grassroots trade union and the company supported the funding to hang flags along the factories. As for the workers, from the suggestion of the trade union, all unanimously bought red flag-yellow-star uniforms to wear, and bought small flags to hang along the production lines. They really moved me because of their spirit of solidarity and pride in their homeland."
The trend of globalization and international integration, the 4th industrial revolution is both an opportunity and a challenge for our country in general and Nghe An in particular. Along with the province's efforts in attracting investment, projects continue to expand the scale of production and business and many key projects have begun to operate, attracting a large workforce. With patriotism, enthusiasm for work, studying and following the moral example of Ho Chi Minh, workers and laborers in Uncle Ho's homeland will affirm their role and position in the development of the whole society./.
