Hanoi Chairman Promises Concrete Actions on Workers' Concerns

Hanoi Chairman Vũ Đại Thắng met with the city's workers on May 29, 2026, to engage in a dialogue about their concerns. He emphasized that the feedback received reflected a sense of responsibility and dedication not only to personal benefits but also to Hanoi's overall development. Thắng instructed relevant departments to provide direct and clear answers to the workers' proposals during the meeting.

For complex issues requiring inter-agency coordination or exceeding the city's authority, departments were directed to record them meticulously, report them in detail, and provide written responses to the workers as soon as possible. "The spirit is not to let the proposals after the dialogue stop at the conference hall, but they must be materialized into tasks, solutions, and substantive results," Thắng stated.

The Chairman affirmed that Hanoi prioritizes balancing economic growth with improving citizens' lives, ensuring social security, environmental quality, and the legitimate rights of workers are not sacrificed for mere economic gains. The city will implement comprehensive solutions for vocational training and enhance digital and technological skills to help workers adapt to digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and automation.

Furthermore, Hanoi will continue to improve its investment environment, support businesses in production development, and create stable employment opportunities to increase workers' incomes. Administrative reforms will focus on digital data applications to streamline social insurance, healthcare, labor, and employment procedures, aiming to reduce time and costs for citizens and businesses. Regarding worker housing, Hanoi is committed to developing social housing and affordable rental options for low-income individuals and laborers, shifting focus from sales to a balance of sales, rentals, and rent-to-own options, with priority given to young workers and those from out of town.
