In order to better care for the material and spiritual life of union members and workers on the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2025, the Presidium of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor (VGCL) has just issued Plan No. 133 on organizing activities to care for union members and workers on the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2025. The theme of caring for the Lunar New Year 2025 is "A happy Tet - Spring thanks to the Party" with the motto that all union members and workers have Tet.

The beneficiaries of Tet care are all union members and workers, with priority given to those in particularly difficult circumstances, those who have had work accidents, occupational diseases, serious illnesses, those affected by natural disasters, storms and floods, those whose working hours have been reduced, those who have lost their jobs, those who are owed wages and bonuses; those from families with preferential policies, ethnic minorities, and those who have not had the opportunity to return home for Tet for many years...

According to the plan, the organization must diversify and flexibly provide care, focusing on the grassroots level, paying attention to and supporting people working in industrial parks, export processing zones, economic zones; living and working in remote areas, border areas, islands, and areas with difficult economic and social conditions; in enterprises facing difficulties due to economic recession, having orders cut or reduced, production scale reduced, temporarily suspended, dissolved, bankrupt, unpaid wages, unpaid bonuses, etc.
