Nearly 4 years ago, Ms. Phuong noticed rapid weight loss. After going to Hanoi for a check-up, the results showed that she had early-stage ovarian cancer and had to undergo radiation therapy. The disease was discovered at a time when the Covid-19 epidemic was intense and the whole country was quarantined, so Ms. Phuong had to go for treatment alone. Although the treatment was difficult, she always maintained an optimistic spirit to overcome the disease.
For more than 10 years as Chairwoman of the grassroots Trade Union, Ms. Phuong has always sought and innovated to improve the quality and effectiveness of trade union activities in schools. Every year, she and the Executive Board of the Trade Union carry out typical campaigns and emulation movements such as: "Two Goods", "Good at public affairs, good at housework", "Every teacher is a model of self-study and creativity", "Good workers, creative workers", "Building friendly schools, active students", "Building cultural agencies"...
To promote the right of workers to be masters, at the beginning of the new school year, Ms. Phuong advised the school leaders to implement the grassroots democracy regulations and organize well the conference of cadres and civil servants. The main contents of the conference were plans and solutions to improve the quality of teaching and learning activities, ensure the legitimate rights and interests of workers; supplement, amend, and develop the agency's regulations, propose solutions to care for, increase income, material and spiritual life, and improve working conditions for teachers and workers in the unit. At the same time, the organization monitored the implementation of the Conference Resolution, directed the program and work plan of the People's Inspectorate and the Trade Union Inspection Committee. She and the Union Executive Committee are always ready to receive and listen to union members' opinions, record and propose to superiors and the School Board to promptly resolve requests and proposals regarding teaching allowances, overtime payments, support policies for studying to improve professional skills, politics, etc.
To attract union members to participate in union activities, she and the union executive committee organized practical activities such as: cultural exchanges between union groups, organizing meetings between brides and grooms; participating in "Ao Dai Charm" contests; organizing the "Happy Children's Day" program; organizing tours and study tours during the summer vacation with many diverse activities... creating motivation and enthusiasm for union members to work effectively.
In her profession, with a sense of responsibility and love for her job, she always sets an example by participating in the school's emulation movements and doing a good job in teaching. She constantly researches, innovates, and learns from her colleagues. She regularly improves her professional qualifications, actively innovates methods in each teaching hour, creating an exciting, vibrant atmosphere, and kindling the passion for learning in students. Therefore, she is always loved by her colleagues, trusted by parents, and respected by her students.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Hang, President of the Hai Duong City Labor Federation, said: “Teacher Do Thi Phuong is an active female president of the grassroots union. Despite her illness, Ms. Phuong always maintains a positive spirit, inspiring those around her.”
