Lao Dong Newspaper is truly considered the voice of union members and workers nationwide. On what basis is this assessment based, ma'am?
Ms. Pham Thi Thanh Tam: It can be seen in Lao Dong Newspaper, issues of concern and urgent issues in the lives of workers and civil servants such as wages, bonuses, jobs, labor export, and safety. Labor hygiene, housing for workers, worker meals, social insurance policies, health insurance , unemployment insurance, pensions... are provided with multi-dimensional information. These issues are reported accurately, objectively and promptly. Thereby, the rights of workers and labor officials are resolved and protected. Not only that, through these articles, workers and employees themselves also clearly understand their rights and responsibilities.
In addition, the newspaper has many articles, contributing to reclaiming legal rights and benefits for hundreds of workers. Among them, I was very impressed with the series of articles about fraudulent tricks to work in Canada in Hanoi, the series of articles about BKAV Joint Stock Company owing workers wages , or Abnormal service fees and social housing prices. Dabaco Group ...
I, like many readers, especially union members and other workers, also find that in the Lao Dong Newspaper, economic, social, cultural, and sports life issues are promptly reflected according to the current news. In it, there are articles that warn and expose problems that help readers identify and prevent negatives and avoid risks such as: borrowing money through apps with high interest rates, workers reeling from "black credit". ”; Korean bride and groom brokerage activities in Hai Phong; Thien Khoi real estate broker's tricks to circumvent the law; Buffaloes and cows went straight into the house of the Secretary and village head in Thanh Yen commune, Thach Thanh district, Thanh Hoa province...
In particular, with trade union activities, newspapers always have articles propagandizing guidelines, policies, and encouraging activities. Notably, there are in-depth propaganda articles on the implementation of Resolution 02-NQ/TW of the Politburo on innovating the organization and operation of the Vietnam Trade Union in the new situation. After the Trade Union Congresses at all levels and the 13th Congress of Vietnam Trade Unions, many articles in the newspaper reflected the implementation of the Trade Union Congress Resolution into life with many good practices and experience sharing.
Madam, besides the content, how do you evaluate other activities of Lao Dong Newspaper?
Ms. Pham Thi Thanh Tam : What impresses me is that Lao Dong Newspaper produces and broadcasts many regular weekly newsletters and programs; Upgrade and periodically publish Podcast products daily; Hot issues are all videotaped directly from the scene. The Trade Union newsletter broadcasts 2 issues/week, the legal advice newsletter 1 issue/week on salary issues, social insurance and other content related to workers and employees is really useful.
In addition to its professional fields, Lao Dong Newspaper also organizes many prestigious social activities. One of them is implementing the Typical Enterprise Ranking program for workers organized by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, and the Vietnam Federation of Commerce and Industry. .
After 10 years of the program being maintained, Vietnam's textile and garment industry has had many outstanding enterprises honored. There are businesses that have a tradition of taking care of workers and have been ranked and praised for many years, such as Garment Corporation 10-JSC, Thanh Cong Textile Garment - Investment Trading Joint Stock Company, and National Joint Stock Company. Phong Phu International, Hung Yen Garment Corporation - Joint Stock Company... This is not only a recognition of the enterprise's efforts, but also an evaluation of the unit's Trade Union role.
A business that wants to develop and succeed needs workers with professional qualifications, professional skills, industrial style, dynamism, creativity, enthusiasm for work, and dedication to the business. Those qualities and requirements are formed from the efforts of each worker, from family, school, and the social environment. In which, the business factor - those who lead and organize the Trade Union - the companions, plays an important role.
As a Trade Union official, what do you want from Lao Dong Newspaper?
Ms. Pham Thi Thanh Tam : I hope Lao Dong Newspaper continues to fulfill its mission of being the voice of workers and labor officials. The team of Union officials in the Textile and Garment industry in particular and Trade Union officials in general hope that in addition to articles reflecting the lives and thoughts of workers, there will also be many articles about the experience of Trade Union activities to between industry unions, local unions, and grass-roots unions to learn from each other.
Thank you!
