Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation takes the lead in building accommodation for workers

(NLDO) - Ho Chi Minh City has implemented many solutions to reduce violations of labor laws and increase the rate of enterprises signing collective labor agreements...

On the afternoon of November 29, the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee held a conference to review 5 years of implementing Directive No. 37-CT/TW dated September 3, 2019 of the Central Party Secretariat on strengthening leadership and direction in building harmonious, stable and progressive labor relations in the new situation (Directive No. 37-CT/TW).

Reporting on the implementation results of Directive No. 37-CT/TW, Deputy Head of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee's Mass Mobilization Commission Tran Xuan Dien said that over the past 5 years of implementation, the Party Committee has directed all levels to effectively carry out propaganda and education on labor laws, improving awareness of employers and workers about rights and obligations.

The solutions have helped reduce violations of labor laws, increase the rate of enterprises signing collective labor agreements and establishing trade unions.

The rate of enterprises implementing social security policies, social insurance, and health insurance for employees is increasing, thereby better protecting workers' rights.

Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee awarded Certificates of Merit to 50 collectives with outstanding achievements in implementing Directive No. 37-CT/TW

The apparatus and staff working on labor relations in Ho Chi Minh City have been improved, awareness and skills in handling labor relations have changed to suit the city's reality. Ho Chi Minh City has effectively implemented mechanisms to prevent labor disputes and formed institutions to support businesses in building sustainable labor relations.

However, there are still some limitations in enterprises' implementation of insurance obligations for employees; the quality of collective labor agreements is still low, not really protecting workers' rights.

Speaking at the conference, Mr. Nguyen Phuoc Loc, Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Fatherland Front Committee, said that the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee has concretized the implementation of Directive No. 37-CT/TW by Official Dispatch No. 1123-CV/TU on strengthening leadership and direction in building harmonious, stable and progressive labor relations in the new situation of the city.

According to Mr. Nguyen Phuoc Loc, in the coming time, units will continue to implement Directive No. 37-CT/TW and Official Letter No. 1123-CV/TU of the City Party Committee on stable labor relations. Thereby, contributing to maintaining political stability and economic development.

Implement the project for developing labor relations for the period 2022-2026 and propose implementation for the period 2026-2030, focusing on the mechanism of labor dialogue and negotiation.
