Trade union leads innovation in workers

Up to now, the Khanh Hoa Labor Federation has completed the collection of comments on the draft document of the 14th Vietnam Trade Union Congress (VGCL). Thousands of comments from union members and trade union officials (TUs) show the great interest of workers (employees) in the direction of TU organization development in the new period.

According to Mr. Phan Thanh Liem - Vice Chairman of the Provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, Chairman of the Khanh Hoa Provincial Labor Federation, many opinions highly appreciate the addition of rights for union members to use electronic applications and access digital data of the trade union organization. For the team of trade union officials, the draft also supplements requirements on the ability to apply information technology, communication skills, negotiation and communication in the digital environment. However, according to leaders of the Khanh Hoa Labor Federation, there needs to be a more specific mechanism to protect trade union officials, especially in the non-state sector, so that officials can operate with peace of mind.

The opinions also agreed with the policy of arranging trade union organizations in a streamlined direction, and at the same time supplementing the model of "special grassroots-level trade unions" such as industrial park trade unions, communes or economic groups to improve management efficiency and reduce pressure on the provincial level.

The goal of developing an additional 4 million union members in the next term is a very big challenge. Therefore, there needs to be a breakthrough solution to gather workers in the informal sector.

Regarding the emulation movement, Mr. Liem said that the movement "Good labor, high productivity, good income" is a direction suitable for the actual needs of workers today.

In particular, the set of rules "2 thấu", "3 gần", "4 không", "5 phải" is considered a step to innovate the thinking of trade union official management. However, for the set of rules to become substantive, many opinions suggested that it is necessary to build a mechanism to assess the level of employee satisfaction by specific quantitative criteria.
