With the motto "Where there are workers, there is a Trade Union", in recent times, Ninh Binh Trade Unions at all levels have implemented synchronous solutions to develop union members and establish grassroots trade unions. Thereby, it helps to improve the ability to care for and protect the legitimate and legal rights and interests of workers, while accompanying the development of enterprises, contributing to the socio-economic development of the province.
Recognizing the importance of developing union members and establishing grassroots unions, in recent times, the Gia Vien District Labor Federation has regularly directed its affiliated unions to implement plans to develop union members and establish grassroots unions according to annual targets.
Comrade Hoang Thi Lieu, Chairwoman of Gia Vien District Labor Federation, said: The District Labor Federation has actively promoted and mobilized enterprises to better understand the role and position of the Trade Union and voluntarily establish grassroots trade unions. In addition, the method of admitting union members has been innovated in a flexible manner, simplifying admission procedures, creating the most favorable conditions for workers to join the Trade Union. At the same time, improving the effectiveness of welfare programs for union members, workers and social activities, bringing practical benefits, thereby gathering and attracting union members. In the first 7 months of 2024, Gia Vien District Labor Federation has established 4 grassroots trade unions, admitting 518 union members. As of July 30, 2024, the whole district has 122 grassroots trade unions with 8,451 union members. In 2024, the Provincial Federation of Labor was assigned by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor to develop 11,300 new union members.
Comrade Tran Kim Long, Vice Chairman of the Provincial Federation of Labor, said: To achieve this goal, from the beginning of the year, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Federation of Labor has drastically implemented many solutions. The focus is on issuing directives to trade unions at all levels in the province; establishing a Steering Committee on developing union members and establishing grassroots unions for the period 2023-2028, in which the Chairman of the Provincial Federation of Labor is the Head of the Steering Committee. Actively propagating, mobilizing, persuading, raising awareness and responsibility of business owners and workers for the work of developing union members and establishing grassroots unions. Assigning targets to the direct superior trade union units for implementation. In addition, at monthly meetings, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Federation of Labor grasps the progress of implementing targets and tasks and proposes appropriate solutions to remove difficulties and obstacles for the units. The Labor Federation also proactively coordinates with relevant sectors to promptly update information on the business situation, number of workers, business name, scale, number of people registered to participate in social insurance... of businesses operating in the area, on that basis, develops plans, organizes and coordinates the implementation of union member development work, and establishes grassroots unions.
In particular, the Provincial Federation of Labor and all levels of Trade Unions proactively grasp the situation of life and work of union members and workers, promptly coordinate with functional agencies to properly resolve regimes and policies, protect the legal and legitimate rights and interests of union members and workers. Pay attention to the work of inspecting and supervising the implementation of labor laws at enterprises, supporting legal advice for union members and workers... Thereby creating a widespread influence, increasing the trust of union members and workers in the Trade Union organization, thereby attracting a large number of union members to participate in movements organized by the Trade Union and workers to participate in the Trade Union organization. In the first 7 months of this year, the whole province has developed 6,525 new union members; established 17 new grassroots trade unions with 25 union members or more, reaching 81% of the plan assigned by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor. Most of the trade unions after being established have operated stably, performing well the functions and tasks of the trade union organization, in which they maximize the role of protecting the legitimate rights and interests of workers.
In the process of developing union members, the Provincial Federation of Labor always focuses on training, fostering, improving the quality, professional skills of the staff working on developing union members, establishing grassroots unions; building a team of union officials with capacity and qualities, meeting the requirements of tasks in the context of integration. Promoting the arrangement and completion of the organizational structure of the union at all levels, streamlining, operating effectively and efficiently. At the same time, strictly managing and improving the quality of union members; up to now, the whole province has updated the information of 45,011 union members on the union member management software. In addition, the union at all levels pays special attention to the work of introducing and developing the Party among workers, civil servants, and laborers, thereby promoting the vanguard and exemplary role of party members in implementing emulation movements and union activities..., contributing to improving the effectiveness of union member development work.
However, at a recent working session between the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor's delegation and Ninh Binh province, comrade Duong Duc Khanh, Chairman of the provincial Confederation of Labor, said: The implementation of the target of developing union members in the province still faces many difficulties, in the first 7 months of 2024, only 30.9% of the target assigned by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor was achieved (due to some enterprises facing difficulties and having to reduce, interrupt or stop production... causing union members in some places to decrease by 3,025 people, so although the whole province has only developed 6,525 union members, the actual number of union members increased by only 3,500 people). The main reason is the impact of the global economic recession, leading to fewer newly established enterprises with large production scale; many enterprises have converted technology, using less labor, leading to a decrease in labor demand. Enterprises in the province are mainly micro, small and medium-sized, making it difficult to propagate and mobilize the establishment of grassroots trade unions and develop union members. In addition, some business owners have not strictly complied with the provisions of the law, and have avoided, delayed or lacked cooperation in coordinating the establishment of grassroots trade unions...
Anticipating difficulties, from now until the end of the year, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Federation of Labor will focus on leading and directing all levels of the Trade Union to improve the quality of the solutions that have been and are being implemented; attaching the targets of developing union members and establishing grassroots trade unions to the year-end emulation criteria of all levels of the Trade Union. The Provincial Federation of Labor will also focus human and financial resources on developing union members and establishing grassroots trade union organizations...
In particular, absorbing the direction of the superior leaders at the working session between the delegation of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor and Ninh Binh province, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Confederation of Labor will urgently organize a thematic conference to discuss the development of union members and grassroots unions in the province; organize a joint conference between the Provincial Confederation of Labor and the Provincial Business Association to mobilize the participation of enterprises in the work of developing union members and establishing grassroots unions; research, meet, exchange on an individual basis, and skillfully mobilize the leaders of enterprises with conditions to develop trade union organizations and union members; pay attention to better implementing the work of caring for and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of union members and workers... making the greatest effort to approach the assigned targets of developing union members and establishing grassroots unions.
