Vietnam Party and State Pay First Rate Attention to the Working Class 
President
Nguyen Xuan Phuc (4th, left) and delegates witness the launch of the
Workers' Month and the Month for Labour Safety and Hygiene. At
this year's main ceremony marking International Labour Day, held in
Hanoi on April 28, President Nguyen Xuan Phuc pointed out that
Vietnamese Communist Party and State always give special attention and
care to the working class, labourers and trade unions. He added that
workers and labourers have continued to play an important role after 30
years of reform, noting they are the driving force in the process of
national industrialization and modernization. President
Phuc hailed initiatives raised by trade union members and employees
nationwide for the development of their businesses, agencies, units and
the nation as a whole. Pointing out difficulties
facing workers and labourers in general, notably those working in the
informal sector, as Vietnam and the world are combatting COVID-19, the
President stressed that the Party and the State have adopted effective
measures to fight the pandemic and recover the national economy.
Incomes of labourers are expected to increase again and new
jobs would be created in the time ahead, helping to boost the rapid,
sustainable economic growth of the country, the President said.
In that spirit, he emphasized the need for the Vietnamese
trade unions to soon draw up an action plan in order to realize the
Resolution adopted at the 13th National Party Congress, saying the plan
must carry forward the core, pioneer role of workers and labourers
nationwide. At the same time, trade union
organizations at all levels should revamp their operational methods to
better care for and protect legitimate rights and interests of workers,
he said. Nguyen Dinh Khang, President of the
Vietnam General Confederation of Labour (VGCL), highlighted great
contributions of the working class to the development of the Vietnamese
revolution. The VGCL has chosen the theme of
"Solidarity, Creativity, Overcoming Difficulties, Development" for
2021, he said, adding that up to 245,000 initiatives were raised by
workers and labourers across the country under a program launched by
the confederation. On this occasion, the VGCL launched the Workers'
Month and the Month for Labour Safety and Hygiene.
