There are many such programs organized at the trade unions of districts, cities, towns, units and enterprises. No matter where they are organized or what the scale is, the most noticeable thing in the Tet Sum Vay programs is the constant smiles on the faces of union members and workers. Putting aside worries about food, clothing, money, and fatigue from work, workers have moments of happy relaxation, and have the opportunity to share and love.
Behind the gifts

Sharing after the program "Tet Sum Vay - Connecting Love" 2021, Mr. Nguyen Huu Thanh - ChairmanCua Lo Town Labor Federationsaid: “To get the list of 200 union members, workers, and laborers to receive Tet Sum vay gifts this year, we spent more than a month reviewing units, businesses, and laborers in the area that were heavily affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, and checking each case in person. At the same time, stages related to organizational work such as preparing performances, propaganda, and guiding documents... must also be implemented.
Of all the activities of the program, the most difficult task is to gather workers at one point, because the cases on the gift recipient list are often those who are sick, ill, and have difficulty traveling. Although this year is a difficult year for the Cua Lo Town Labor Federation, we have tried our best to organize a complete Tet for workers and spread the program to each unit and enterprise."

During a time when giving gifts to support workers, when asked about his work, the President of the Trade Union of a company in the Southeast Economic Zone honestly exclaimed: "This is a headache". This "headache" comes from having to consider and choose between difficult circumstances, calculate practical gifts, prepare for each performance, find ideas for the program to always be new and attractive, the new year is different from the old year... If they were not dedicated, did not love and share with union members and workers, they would not have such a "headache".

Not only is it hard to prepare, but even when the event has been successful, the organizers of the "Tet Sum Vay" Programs still have a lot of work to do. Witnessing the union officials sitting together to summarize after the program, to point out the good and bad points for next time, to find solutions for special cases... we can see all the concerns and responsibilities behind each gift that union members, workers and laborers receive.
In addition to the Tet Sum vay Programs organized by the Provincial Labor Federation, there are also many Tet Sum vay Programs implemented by the grassroots and upper-level trade unions. With the motto that all union members and workers have Tet, the program aims to share and encourage workers to overcome difficulties, towards a happy traditional Tet and a new year with many better things..
