On April 20, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor announced that, implementing Directive No. 13/CT-TW (dated January 17, 2022) of the Secretariat on leading trade union congresses at all levels and the 13th Congress of Vietnam Trade Unions for the 2023-2028 term, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor issued Plan No. 179/KH-TLĐ (dated March 3, 2022).
Regarding the organization of trade union congresses at all levels towards the 13th Congress of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor for the 2023-2028 term. Accordingly, the grassroots trade union congress will be completed before May 31, 2023; the congress of the trade union at the level directly above the grassroots level will be completed before July 31, 2023.
Up to now, in terms of progress, nearly 80,000/124,000 grassroots trade unions have held congresses (reaching a rate of nearly 65%, some places have reached a rate of over 90%). Of which, over 25% of grassroots trade unions have directly elected the President of the grassroots trade union at the congress. The direct election of the President of the trade union at the congress basically ensures compliance with the spirit of selecting the "leader" of the trade union at the grassroots level, achieving the set goals and requirements. At the same time, 2,361 conferences have been held to adjust and supplement tasks, and elect delegates to attend the Congress of the higher-level trade union.
Also according to the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, the new point of this grassroots trade union congress is that right at the congresses of many grassroots trade unions, in the direction and tasks of the next term, attention has been paid to solutions to innovate the content and methods of trade union activities, improve the quality of activities with the goal of attracting more and more union members to participate in activities organized by the trade union.
Assessing the direction and organization of congresses at the grassroots level, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor said that trade unions at all levels had prepared for the congresses methodically, thoughtfully and thoroughly. In particular, 1,903 grassroots trade unions were selected to organize pilot congresses (pre-organized) to gain experience before directing the mass congresses, thereby helping units to adjust, overcome difficulties and improve the quality of congress organization.
The success of the grassroots trade union congress is the premise for the successful organization of the grassroots trade union congress at the level directly above. Therefore, trade unions at all levels need to continue to strengthen their direction so that the grassroots trade union congresses can be completed on schedule and according to the agenda as planned.
