“Union Train - Spring 2025” is a program assigned by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor to the Dong Nai Provincial Labor Federation to preside over, coordinate with the Vietnam Railways Trade Union and related units to implement. The program aims to support union members and workers in difficult circumstances to return home to celebrate Tet happily and safely.
This year, the Trade Union Train - Spring 2025 was supported by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor with nearly 2 billion VND to buy round-trip train tickets for workers working in the Southern provinces to return to the North to celebrate Tet.
Most union members and workers are people in difficult circumstances, who have not returned home for Tet for many years. Having received train tickets to return home, many workers expressed their gratitude to the Union for its care and support, giving them the opportunity to reunite with their loved ones this new spring.

Mr. Nguyen Van Minh (from Nam Dinh province), a worker at Tam Phuoc Industrial Park (Bien Hoa) said that this was the first time he had been given a train ticket to go home for Tet, so he was very excited. Mr. Minh said that he had not returned to his hometown for 5 years due to economic difficulties. “I am very happy and thank the units and trade unions at all levels for taking care of the workers during Tet so that we have the opportunity to return home to visit our families.
Similarly, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hai from Nghe An was also lucky to receive a Tet ticket so she brought her child back to her hometown to celebrate Tet. Ms. Hai shared that she had not been home for Tet for many years and had only seen her elderly parents over the phone. Seeing her parents getting older and weaker, she wanted to go home to celebrate Tet to reunite with them. "I really cherish this ticket, I hope that other workers in difficult circumstances like me will receive tickets so that they can boldly go home for Tet with their families," Ms. Hai said.
