Most of the workers, especially female workers, wish to have 2 more days off on the occasion of the National Day to be able to take their children to the opening.

Mr. Hieu shared, on the occasion of the field, collecting comments for the draft Labor Code (amended, supplemented), has simple but very touching ideas of workers and workers.

“Women's workers come home from work very hard, have little time for their children, so taking their children to start the new school year they have not been implemented. With workers working as a crew, necklace, if the opening day is not on Saturday, Sunday or holidays, they do not have the opportunity to take their children to school on that day.

Therefore, we need to increase the holidays soon for workers, as the total holidays itself is lower than the region and economic itself is growing, "Mr. Xiaom said.

Vice Chairman of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor said that the addition of holidays should be considered, because in the current period, the total holiday of our country is lower than the region.

Mr. Hieu emphasized that the Trade Union organization will persevere in this aspiration until the Labor Code is amended in the nearest time, even in the additional modifications of other regimes.

He understood practical evidence in China, they rested the National Day for the whole week, which is also very valuable for our country when choosing a holiday.

According to him, in fact, not always working hard to improve income. In the current context, it is necessary to improve the level of labor skills, apply information technology, better business management ... should not transfer all productivity and labor results to the role of workers.

The Trade Union petitioned the National Day for another 2 days of Vietnam Trade Union to propose the competent authority to consider and supplement the National Day for another 2 days (from September 2 - 5) so that workers have the opportunity to take their children to school.
