In addition, the federation proposes employers give Tet gifts, bus tickets or transportation for workers to return home. For workers who do not return to their hometown, a programme named "Tet not far from home" will be held in an appropriate form.

Speaking at the event, Long praised the trade unions at all levels for well performing their functions of representing, caring for and protecting legal and legitimate rights and interests of employees, especially the organisation of practical activities to take care of disadvantaged workers on the Tet occasion.
