The Hero of Labor (or Labor Hero) (Vietnamese: Anh hùng lao động) is the highest title of honor in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. It is awarded (possibly posthumously) to individuals or collectives with outstanding achievements in labor. This includes supporting the objective of a strong country and an equitable, democratic, prosperous, and civilized society. Awardees are loyal to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and possess revolutionary virtues and qualities. It can be awarded to collectives for the same reasons that have maintained good internal unity, strong Party affiliations and mass organizations.[1][2]
