On Thursday, the Da Nang People’s Committee (PC) and the municipal Labour Union jointly organised a meeting to review their cooperation over the 2014 - 2015 period and to deploy new tasks in the period 2016 - 2017.  It was co-chaired by municipal PC Chairman Huynh Duc Tho and the Union’s Chairman Luong Nguyen Minh Triet.

During the 2014 - 2015 period, numerous emulation movements amongst local workers were organised by the city’s Labour Union.  The Union helped to upgrade downgraded houses and build new ones for 167 poor workers, as well as presented 15,283 Tet gifts to others in difficult circumstances.

Speaking at the event, Chairman Tho praised the great efforts by the Union in improving the living conditions of poor workers and helping them to overcome their difficulties.  He took the opportunity to ask relevant agencies to do their utmost to facilitate the Union to effectively implement their tasks and protect the legal rights of local businesses and labourers.

He remarked that the city would convert some student halls of residence into apartment buildings for workers and students, and build small and cheap apartments for workers for lease.  The focus will be on building a cultural and sports centre and a supermarket for workers, and care centres for children of employees working at the local industrial parks.
