The work of ensuring employment and taking care of the material and spiritual life of union members and workers is highly focused on by the Trade Union of Phan Thiet Export Garment Joint Stock Company (under the Phan Thiet City Labor Federation).
This is a business that currently has 2,870 employees, including 2,800 union members. Although there are many general fluctuations in the economic situation affecting the jobs and lives of workers, the garment industry is no exception.
Faced with difficulties in orders, the company's management board and the grassroots union have introduced many policies on labor recruitment as well as improving product quality. Thereby creating trust and prestige with customers and maintaining a stable source of goods, creating jobs and stabilizing income for workers.
The role of the trade union in the enterprise is also very important so that workers can feel secure in their work when they enjoy full benefits, are cared for and listened to. The grassroots trade union also coordinates with the company to build regulations on salary and bonus payment, regulations on skill competitions, promotion; and salary adjustment for workers.
Ms. Tran Thi Tuyet Thanh - Chairwoman of the Trade Union of Phan Thiet Garment Export Joint Stock Company said that because the company has a large number of workers, it does not organize tours for excellent workers but increases the bonus level so that workers can rest and receive on-site training.
On holidays, the union organizes competitions such as karaoke singing contests and traditional democratic flower picking contests to create cohesion between departments and improve the spiritual life of workers.
Also thanks to the effective implementation and strong response from union members, this grassroots union has many union members participating in online contests to learn about unions and the Traffic Law organized by the Binh Thuan Provincial Labor Federation last year and many union members won prizes.
Strong union activities at the enterprise have created momentum for workers to enthusiastically produce to achieve and exceed the annual plan.
