Speaking at the congress, comrade Nguyen Dinh Khang, member of the Party Central Committee - member of the Party Central Committee, President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, acknowledged, praised and congratulated the results achieved by the Trade Unions at all levels of Kien Giang province in the past term, making important contributions to the development of the Vietnam Trade Union organization, contributing to the construction of Kien Giang province.
The President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor emphasized: “For Kien Giang province, in the coming time, the orientation is to develop industrial parks, clusters and high-quality tourist areas, which are expected to mobilize and attract a large labor force. Labor quality continues to be improved, diversified in structure by industry and economic sectors. This is both a favorable condition for trade unions to expand the scope of attracting and gathering union members and workers; at the same time, it is a pressure requiring all levels of Kien Giang provincial trade unions to drastically innovate the content and methods of trade union activities in the direction of innovation, practicality, efficiency, suitable for each object, locality and field”.
At the congress, comrade Do Thanh Binh - Member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Head of the National Assembly Delegation of Kien Giang province also commented that trade unions at all levels coordinated with political and social organizations to do a good job of propagating the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's laws and policies and contents related to trade unions, thereby helping union members and workers to have a more complete awareness, trust in the leadership of the Party and the State, actively work, produce, self-study, apply science and technology in production to increase productivity, income and have stable jobs.
The Secretary of the Kien Giang Provincial Party Committee directed: “The current situation requires trade unions at all levels to have a clearer understanding of the functions and tasks of their organizations; first of all, the new, increasingly large and urgent requirements for the role of caring for, representing, and protecting the legitimate and legal rights and interests of workers. The main and top concerns today are issues practically related to the lives of workers, and the effectiveness of caring for and protecting union members.
Therefore, in the coming term, I propose that all levels of trade unions must identify this as the operational goal, basic function, and core task throughout; as an important factor in gathering and connecting union members with the trade union organization and building a strong union. The trade union organization must truly be a reliable support for union members and workers."
The Kien Giang Provincial Federation of Labor has set out two breakthroughs for the 2023-2028 term. First, focus on performing the task of representing and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of union members and workers; focusing on dialogue, negotiation, and signing of collective labor agreements in units and enterprises. Second, innovate the operation methods of trade unions at all levels in the province, focusing on digital transformation in trade union activities.
The Congress also elected a new Executive Committee and delegates to attend the higher-level Congress.
