Sharing his thoughts on the event, Mr. Cao Hoang Tien Lam - Chairman of the Trade Union of Luxshare-ICT (Nghe An) II Co., Ltd., expressed: "More than anyone else, each of us trade union officials understands the difficulties and hardships of workers directly on the production line, the pressures of deadlines, long shifts, and the stringent requirements for productivity and quality of each product… Each product produced is not only the result of labor, but also a testament to the discipline, the will to overcome difficulties, and the aspiration to excel of Vietnamese workers in the new era."

Immediately following the launch of Workers' Month, a series of activities in response to Workers' Month were implemented simultaneously, continuously, humanely, and widely across all grassroots trade unions throughout the province, from wards and communes to FDI enterprises.

Realizing from the ground up.

With the spirit of "focusing on the grassroots and putting workers at the center," trade unions at all levels in Nghe An have simultaneously launched many practical activities. A prime example is the launching ceremony of the Workers' Month in Thanh Vinh ward.

“I was truly impressed with this year’s Workers’ Month launch ceremony, where workers not only participated in many welfare programs but also connected with each other through a vibrant team-building program. It’s been a long time since we’ve all participated in such a fun event together,” shared Ms. Nguyen Thu Hien, a union member from Thanh Vinh ward.

Beyond just ceremonial events, the Trade Union has truly become involved in the lives of workers through close attention and care. On the afternoon of May 4th, the Truong Vinh Ward Trade Union implemented a gift-giving program called "Visiting Workers' Dormitories" at the Em-Tech Vietnam Co., Ltd. branch in Nghe An. In the cramped space of the dormitories, the conversations between union officials and workers became as intimate as those between family members.

In addition, many units organize sports competitions such as football, volleyball, badminton, etc. These tournaments and activities not only improve physical fitness but also strengthen solidarity, help workers regenerate energy, and foster a stronger bond with their unit and organization.

The "Trade Union Meal" and "Summer Cooling" models were also simultaneously implemented at many units such as Song Hieu Forestry and Agriculture Company, Nghe An Urban Environment and Construction Joint Stock Company, etc.

The diversity and creativity in the activities of Workers' Month are demonstrated through the care given to the "home front" of workers.

At many businesses, thousands of workers, dressed in red shirts with yellow stars, faced the national flag to commemorate the 51st anniversary of national reunification and celebrate Workers' Month. Amidst rows of machinery, the resounding national anthem not only stirred patriotism but also reminded each worker of their responsibility to connect their personal careers with the development of the country, transforming national pride into motivation to improve productivity and labor quality.

A prominent highlight of the series of activities aimed at fostering class pride is the first "Nghe An Workers Following Uncle Ho's Teachings" Award - an opportunity for the Provincial Labor Union to commend outstanding examples in studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics, and style during the 2023-2025 period.

“With careful selection, we will choose 10 outstanding individuals from businesses and 5 excellent collectives with models and initiatives to improve labor productivity to honor during the 2026 Workers' Month. These exemplary ‘Skilled and Innovative Workers’ are not only a source of pride for the Trade Union organization but also spread a strong desire to contribute among the workforce throughout the province,” shared Mr. Nguyen Chi Cong, Vice Chairman of the Provincial Federation of Labor.
