Over the past years, the patriotic emulation movement among Dong Nai province’s workers and civil servants has attracted a large number of staffs to labor emulation, production, fostering innovations, applying scientific and technological advancements, streamlining production, boosting labor productivity, accomplishing the tasks and achieving the targets by the agencies, businesses, sectors and local authorities. The movement has attracted over 150,000 staffs to joining in scientific projects and new and high quality design innovations to bring the benefit of tens of billion dongs to the State and businesses.

Speaking at the meeting, Mr. Dinh Quoc Thai – Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee highly appreciated the results the province’s workers and civil servants achieved in last year’s patriotic emulation movement. Also, Vice Chairman said that workers and civil servants’ patriotic emulation movement revealed many limitations which it had to overcome. For example, the contents of the movement were unspecific and vague and the emulation titles were selected the same way at grass-roots levels. Thus, the movement generated no strong motivation to promote its in-depth growth. Vice chairman suggested that the labor unions of all levels should cling to the targets for economic growth, set clear emulation targets corresponding to each sector and local authority, combine the patriotic emulation movement with the campaign – "Study and follow President Ho Chi Minh’s ethical example" and promote the emulation movement among workers, especially the workers in foreign businesses...
On this occasion, the provincial Labor Federation awarded 104 certificates of merit including 99 of Vietnam Labor Federation and 5 of the provincial Labor Federation to 68 individuals and 36 collectives and 43 emulation flags to the collectives. The provincial People’s Committee also offered the unscheduled certificates of merit to one collective and one individual who made a lot of contribution to "Workers' night to welcome the Lunar New Year of Buffalo."
