By May 31, 2023, the whole province had completed the grassroots trade union congress, of which 2,667/2,885 trade unions held congresses; 102/2,885 trade unions held conferences; 16/2,885 units did not hold congresses.

However, according to the report, there are 5 low-achievement indicators such as enterprises paying union fees through the Vietnam Trade Union account; enterprises proposing and negotiating shift meals; developing and increasing union members; signing new collective labor agreements in enterprises with union organizations... This is also an issue that delegates focused on discussing and proposing solutions for the coming time.

AboutWorkers' MonthAccording to the delegates' assessment, the 2023 Workers' Month plan was focused on by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Federation of Labor with specific, focused, meaningful contents, suitable to the practical situation and deployed early in all levels of trade unions, creating highlights and spreading power throughout the province.

During Workers' Month, trade unions at all levels spent nearly 2.3 billion VND to organize activities to visit and give gifts to 5,286 workers, civil servants, and laborers in difficult circumstances, who had work-related accidents or occupational diseases, and who were renting accommodation; supported the construction and repair of 11 Trade Union Shelters for union members and laborers in difficult circumstances, contributing to creating more trust and attachment to the trade union organization. This year's Workers' Month is also the time when trade unions at all levels focus highly on organizing congresses for the 2023-2028 term. Trade unions at all levels have implemented many programs and activities to practically care for union members and laborers.

However, in order for the Workers' Month to be implemented better in the coming time, the implementation of plans needs to be issued early, doing a good job of advising, proposing, and taking advantage of the direction of Party committees at all levels to implement the "Workers' Month" activities. In addition, it is necessary to actively coordinate with the government and professionals to mobilize resources, create interest and support to implement a number of major activities, especially those that are simultaneous and concentrated.
