To create new motivation and momentum for labor union’s members, and workers nationwide to have high determination and make great efforts to jointly bring the resolutions of labor union congresses at all levels and the Resolution of the 13^th Congress of EVN’s Labor Union for the 2023-2028 term into practice, the Chairman of  EVN’s Labor Union expects labor unions at all levels to coordinate with specialized departments and mass organizations within their units to well organize activities in response to the 2024 Workers' Month - Action Month of Occupational Safety and Health; specifically realizing the themes "Strengthening occupational safety and health at workplaces and in supply chains" and "Workers' Solidarity - Implementing Resolutions" according to the plans of the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, and the plan issued by EVN’s Labor Union.

The Chairman of EVN’s Labor Union is confident that with the spirit of solidarity, responsibility, and creativity of union members, workers, and labor unions at all levels, with the attention and coordination of Party committees, authorities, and the consensus of employers, the 2024 Workers' Month - Action Month of Occupational Safety and Health will be effectively implemented and achieve high results.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan - EVN’s President & CEO acknowledged the efforts of labor unions at all levels in coordinating well with specialized departments in organizing meaningful and practical activities.
