On December 25, speaking with Lao Dong Newspaper reporter, Mr. Nguyen Manh Cuong - Chairman of Hoa Binh Provincial Labor Federation - said that in recent times, the Standing Committee of Hoa Binh Provincial Labor Federation has directed all levels of Trade Unions in the province to actively implement many solutions to promote the collection of union dues and union funds, strengthen propaganda, supervision, and debt collection from previous years.
However, many enterprises have not strictly implemented the regulation on deducting and paying 2% of the union fund. Some enterprises have evaded payment, paid late, or paid incorrectly or insufficiently according to the salary fund and the number of employees required to pay the union fund according to regulations... affecting the operating budget of trade unions at all levels in performing well the function of representing and protecting the legitimate and legal rights and interests of employees.
According to Mr. Cuong, the failure of enterprises to pay union fees results in grassroots unions having no funding to organize activities, especially taking care of union members and workers on holidays and Tet as well as regular care at the grassroots union level, affecting the rights and interests of union members and workers, directly affecting the movement of workers, civil servants, laborers and the activities of the Hoa Binh Provincial Trade Union.
