The process of formation and growth of the Vietnamese working class and trade unions 
The Vietnamese working class actually came into being at the early time of the colonial exploitation by French colonialists (from 1897 to 1914). Centralised industrial zones in Hanoi, Sai Gon, Hai Phong, Nam Dinh, Vinh - Ben Thuy, Hon Gai made up an increasingly number of workers... In 1906, the total workforce was 49,500 including 1,800 skillful workers.

     
   
  Trade union organisations at the primary stage 
The first union member is Comrade Nguyen Ai Quoc. He joined the Metalworkers' Union of District 17, Paris, France in 1919.
