Disseminating traffic safety laws to trade union officials in the transportation sector.

(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of October 21st, the Trade Union of the Transport Sector, in coordination with the Provincial Department of Transport, organized a training course on traffic safety laws and the implementation of traffic culture for more than 150 trade union officials of the transport sector in Nghe An province.

Attending the conference were comrades: Pham Chi Dan, Vice Chairman of the Trade Union of the Transport Sector; Nguyen Hong Ky, Provincial Party Committee member and Director of the Department of Transport; and Nguyen Tu Phuong, Provincial Party Committee member and Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial Federation of Labor.

Over 150 officials and union members from the transportation sector in the province participated in the training course.

In his opening remarks, Comrade Nguyen Hong Ky, Director of the Provincial Department of Transport, stated that in response to the movement to build a traffic culture, the officials and employees of the Department are determined to fulfill their assigned tasks to build an increasingly synchronized transportation infrastructure system.

In the first nine months of the year, the province recorded 189 traffic accidents resulting in 131 deaths and 146 injuries. Compared to the same period in 2014, there was a decrease of 21 accidents, 14 deaths, and 15 injuries. Although all three indicators decreased, the traffic accident situation remains extremely complex. Therefore, strengthening the dissemination of traffic safety laws is essential and urgent.

Comrade Nguyen Hong Ky, Director of the Department of Transport, suggested that every official and trade union member in the industry should be a propagandist for traffic safety laws.

Emphasizing the role of propaganda in raising awareness of traffic safety laws, the comrade suggested that, through this training session, each official, union member, and employee should become a traffic safety law advocate in their workplace, family, and society.

Mr. Pham Chi Dan, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Transport Workers' Union, said that from the beginning of the year, the Standing Committee of the Vietnam Transport Workers' Union had proposed many solutions to direct unions at all levels in the industry and coordinated with the Labor Federations of provinces and cities nationwide to promote propaganda and mobilize workers to exemplary comply with traffic safety laws and traffic culture.

Comrade Pham Chi Dan, Vice Chairman of the Trade Union of the Transport Sector, emphasized the role of disseminating traffic safety laws within the sector's trade union.

During the training session, workers watched several short plays produced by the Vietnam Transport Workers' Union, which promoted traffic laws and culture; introduced the Party and State's policies and guidelines on measures to reduce traffic accidents and promote traffic culture... Based on this, key officials of the Trade Union at all levels disseminated the information to their members at the grassroots level.
