Building on previous years' results, the Bac Ninh Federation of Labour expanded the programme in 2026 to all grassroots trade unions across the province, requiring participating organisations to improve the quality and value of workers' meals with financial support from both unions and employers.

The Bac Ninh Federation of Labor and the grassroots trade union of Samsung SDI Vietnam Co., Ltd. jointly hold the 2026 "Trade Union Lunch" programme at the company's factory in Yen Phong Industrial Park.

Since the beginning of the year, 520 grassroots trade unions have coordinated with employers to organise the programme, with total spending reaching nearly 20 billion VND (over 761,000 USD), including more than 8.9 billion VND contributed by trade unions.

More than 300,000 workers have received meals worth an average of over 65,000 VND per person.

The highest participation rates were recorded among grassroots trade unions in Nenh Ward, Phu Lang Commune and Hop Thinh Commune.

Major participating companies included Goertek Vietnam, Samsung Display Vietnam Co., Ltd., Luxshare-ICT Co., Ltd. and Hosiden Vietnam Co., Ltd.
