00:01:05.314 --> 00:01:08.734 
the company awarded a ceremony to show
gratitude and encourage more than 1,000 employees. 

00:01:09.134 --> 00:01:12.152 
The enterprise has supported funding for
the Grassroots Trade Union to organize 

00:01:12.152 --> 00:01:14.414 
sports festivals and parties for workers to celebrate together. 

00:01:14.774 --> 00:01:18.284

Recently, the People's Committee of La
Son province coordinated with the 

00:01:28.794 --> 00:01:32.174 
Provincial Labor Federation to organize
a launching ceremony for Workers' Month. 

00:01:32.174 --> 00:01:35.234 
and the action month on occupational
safety and health in 2026. 

00:01:35.654 --> 00:01:38.654 
At the program, 24 workers with
outstanding achievements in production 

00:01:38.654 --> 00:01:41.054 
and business in 2025
were commended and rewarded. 

00:01:41.294 --> 00:01:43.630 
In which, the Provincial People's
Committee awarded certificates of merit 

00:01:43.630 --> 00:01:47.134 
to 10 workers, and the Provincial Labor
Federation awarded certificates of merit to 14 workers. 

00:01:47.134 --> 00:01:50.042

00:01:50.042 --> 00:01:51.334

with free health consultation
activities, free gifts, discounted 

00:01:54.506 --> 00:01:58.074 
shopping and visiting booths on
occupational safety and health. 

00:01:59.814 --> 00:02:02.886 
At the Q1 2026 press conference
organized by the Ministry of Home 

00:02:02.886 --> 00:02:05.702 
Affairs, the Party Committee of the
Government reported and the Politburo 

00:02:05.702 --> 00:02:07.494 
agreed to adjust the base salary increase. 

00:02:07.494 --> 00:02:13.434 
from 2.34 million VND to 2.53 million
VND per month from July 1, 2026. 

00:02:13.614 --> 00:02:16.487 
Currently, the draft decree dossier has
been sent by the Ministry of Home 

00:02:16.487 --> 00:02:18.254 
Affairs for appraisal by the Ministry of Justice. 

00:02:18.254 --> 00:02:21.148 
Based on the appraisal opinions of the
Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of 

00:02:21.148 --> 00:02:24.042 
Home Affairs will continue to complete
the draft decree to report to the

ensuring timely effective date from
July 1, 2026. 

00:02:31.294 --> 00:02:34.586 
At the meeting program with General
Secretary and President To Lam, workers 

00:02:34.586 --> 00:02:38.974 
in Ho Chi Minh City proposed to continue
developing more social housing to soon be settled. 

00:02:38.974 --> 00:02:43.489 
Solving the housing problem is not only
to meet the needs of housing but also to 

00:02:43.489 --> 00:02:46.874 
contribute to stabilizing the labor
market, improving productivity and ensuring sustainable development. 

00:02:48.396 --> 00:02:52.176 
On April 27, General Secretary and
President Tu Lam, leading the Central working delegation, 

00:02:52.396 --> 00:02:55.236 
visited and presented gifts to workers
and laborers at the BKM social 

00:02:55.236 --> 00:02:56.656 
housing area in Chanh Hiep Ward. 

00:02:57.116 --> 00:02:59.976 
Also attending the program were many
leaders and former leaders of the Party and State, 

00:03:00.296 --> 00:03:03.576 
representatives of central and local
ministries and sectors, Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, 

00:03:03.816 --> 00:03:05.736 
and nearly 300 typical union members and workers. 

00:03:06.316 --> 00:03:09.464 
Activities towards the anniversary of
Southern Liberation Day April 30 and 

00:03:09.464 --> 00:03:10.896 
International Labor Day May 1. 

00:03:10.896 --> 00:03:15.616 
This is one of the practical activities,
showing the deep concern of the party, 

00:03:15.816 --> 00:03:18.596 
the state for the lives and
jobs of workers and laborers. 

00:03:19.136 --> 00:03:22.596 
At the meeting, General Secretary and
President Tu Lam cordially inquired, 

00:03:22.956 --> 00:03:25.476 
wishing good health and directly
listening to the sharing of workers. 

00:03:25.996 --> 00:03:28.246 
General Secretary and President
acknowledged the spirit of overcoming 

00:03:28.246 --> 00:03:29.996 
difficulties, the need and responsibility of workers. 

00:03:29.996 --> 00:03:33.196 
in the production process, contributing
to socio-economic development, 

00:03:33.476 --> 00:03:36.476 
at the same time, wishing the workforce
to continue to promote its role, 

00:03:36.476 --> 00:03:38.629 
improve skills, adapt to the
increasingly high vocational 

00:03:38.629 --> 00:03:39.976 
requirements of the labor market. 

00:03:40.739 --> 00:03:45.985 
If there is a desire, a signing, I
really want this social housing policy 

00:03:45.985 --> 00:03:47.859 
to be developed even more. 

00:03:47.859 --> 00:03:50.619 
Because in my company, not everyone
is as lucky as me 

00:03:50.619 --> 00:03:54.641 
It is to have the opportunity to buy
social housing at a price 

00:03:54.641 --> 00:03:55.879 
that the state prefers. 

00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:59.459 
And many brothers and sisters are still
living in very miserable people's boarding houses. 

00:03:59.459 --> 00:04:02.607 
Because the environment is like flooding
and sea waste too, life 

00:04:02.607 --> 00:04:04.039 
is also a bit messy. 

00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:08.469 
If possible, I really hope the
government will replicate this 

00:04:08.469 --> 00:04:09.799 
social housing policy. 

00:04:09.799 --> 00:04:12.779 
To all workers with low incomes like me 

00:04:12.779 --> 00:04:17.279 
Speaking of education and healthcare, I
am most interested in vaccines. 

00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:21.207 
Well, currently I see a lot, every year
the state has programs saying that this 

00:04:21.207 --> 00:04:22.779 
epidemic is also spreading a lot 

00:04:22.779 --> 00:04:26.057 
Well, I really hope that if the
authorities at all levels care about 

00:04:26.057 --> 00:04:27.319 
the people, it could be 

00:04:27.479 --> 00:04:28.719 
It receives 

00:04:32.368 --> 00:04:36.288 
Yes, currently my child is getting
vaccinated, so it also costs a lot of money. 

00:04:36.528 --> 00:04:41.259 
So according to my grasp of current
information, the majority of workers 

00:04:41.259 --> 00:04:44.808 
working in Ho Chi Minh
City are indigenous people. 

00:04:44.808 --> 00:04:50.894 
Currently living in boarding houses, the
highest demand that you guys want is 

00:04:50.894 --> 00:04:55.108 
that the state should have programs
to support workers. 

00:04:55.108 --> 00:05:00.438 
Buy social housing near Ho Chi Minh City
to reduce the daily living 

00:05:00.438 --> 00:05:01.668 
costs of workers. 

00:05:01.668 --> 00:05:06.198 
In addition, currently workers also have
to regularly use health insurance in 

00:05:06.198 --> 00:05:07.708 
case they are sick. 

00:05:07.708 --> 00:05:13.095 
However, there are diseases that are not
on the health list, so I also hope that 

00:05:13.095 --> 00:05:17.808 
the party and the state will reconsider
the programs and policies applied to workers. 

00:05:17.808 --> 00:05:21.978 
Especially those dangerous diseases, if
possible, will completely support the 

00:05:21.978 --> 00:05:26.148 
costs of those diseases to reduce the
burden for workers. 

00:05:26.148 --> 00:05:29.748 
Registering children to study, according
to me, receiving information 

00:05:29.748 --> 00:05:31.348 
is also very difficult. 

00:05:31.348 --> 00:05:36.619 
Because it may be inconvenient due to
the location of the kindergarten as well 

00:05:36.619 --> 00:05:40.008 
as some educational institutions that
are not very convenient. 

00:05:40.008 --> 00:05:44.408 
So if possible, we also want to have
policies to support workers. 

00:05:44.408 --> 00:05:47.339 
Especially for workers with young
children to facilitate sending their 

00:05:47.339 --> 00:05:51.442 
children as well as registering for
school in Ho Chi Minh City when they 

00:05:51.442 --> 00:05:52.908 
are living and settling here. 

00:05:53.404 --> 00:05:55.904 
The visit is not
just purely spiritual encouragement, 

00:05:56.164 --> 00:05:58.964 
but also clearly shows the consistent
policy of the Party and the State 

00:05:58.964 --> 00:06:01.904 
in caring for the lives, material
and spiritual aspects of workers. 

00:06:02.604 --> 00:06:04.1000 
Thereby contributing to fostering trust
and creating motivation for workers to 

00:06:04.1000 --> 00:06:06.524 
continue to feel secure in their work. 

00:06:06.864 --> 00:06:09.404 
attached to businesses, actively
competing in labor production, 

00:06:09.744 --> 00:06:13.204 
joining hands to build a sustainable
economic development and an increasingly progressive society. 

00:06:15.577 --> 00:06:18.260 
Ladies and gentlemen, in today's legal
advice section, there is a question from 

00:06:18.260 --> 00:06:20.117 
the online reader sent in the program as follows. 

00:06:20.537 --> 00:06:24.355 
Are people who already have a pension or
are receiving monthly social insurance 

00:06:24.355 --> 00:06:26.117 
benefits entitled to social pension benefits? 

00:06:26.557 --> 00:06:30.077 
Deputy director of Yumi Law Company,
Phuc Thuy Trang, will have reasons. 

00:06:49.992 --> 00:06:54.652 
I will continue to receive readers'
questions via mailbox toàsoanacomlaodong. com. vn 

00:06:54.652 --> 00:06:58.832 
And now the program's duration is over.
See you in the following episodes.
