In the patriotic emulation movement being widely deployed from the grassroots level, many trade union officials have affirmed their role with persistent contributions, directly linked to production and the lives of workers. Mr. Ngo Truong Huy - Deputy Secretary of the Party Cell, Head of the Administrative Management Department, Chairman of the grassroots Trade Union of Thu Duc Long An Refined Concrete Joint Stock Company is one of such typical individuals.
Linking trade union activities with production and workers' lives
Professionally trained as a mechanical engineering engineer, Mr. Huy has many years of experience working at the enterprise, directly participating in administrative management, production organization and building a working environment. In his position as Head of the Department of Administrative Management, he always completes his professional tasks well, and proactively advises the enterprise's leadership in improving labor conditions, arranging production lines, reducing manual labor intensity and improving work efficiency at workshops.
From a technical and management expertise platform, Mr. Huy deeply participates in trade union activities with a practical approach, linking workers' rights with the stable development of the enterprise. Trusted and elected as Chairman of the grassroots Trade Union since 2008, through many terms, he has always played a bridging role between workers and employers, contributing to building harmonious and stable labor relations.
One of the clear imprints in Mr. Huy's working process is his participation in building and negotiating collective labor agreements. Instead of mechanically copying general regulations, the grassroots Trade Union organized to collect workers' opinions, synthesize contents close to actual production to propose to the board of directors. As a result, the enterprise's collective labor agreement has many clauses higher than the provisions of law, from salaries, bonuses, working hours to allowances and welfare regimes.
Taking care of welfare, building a stable and sustainable working environment
Along with that, Mr. Huy proactively proposed many solutions to care for workers' lives based on the conditions of the business. Workers' facilities such as free accommodation for workers far away, mid-shift rest areas, food safety and hygiene standard dining halls, libraries and community living spaces are implemented synchronously, bringing practical efficiency. These items not only improve working conditions but also contribute to retaining workers, helping businesses maintain stable production.
In trade union activities, Mr. Huy focuses on transparency and consensus. The use of revenue from scrap sales of enterprises to supplement the welfare fund is raised to get opinions from workers, used for the right purposes for scholarship programs, supporting non-interest loans and building "Trade Union Homes". This approach both creates more resources to care for union members and strengthens workers' trust in the trade union organization.
In addition to material care, Mr. Huy is interested in building a united and disciplined working environment. Through cultural, sports, collective activities and direct contact at the workshop, he regularly listens to the thoughts and aspirations of workers to promptly reflect to business leaders. Many recommendations related to working conditions, labor safety, and shift meals have been received and adjusted, contributing to reducing frustration and limiting labor disputes arising.
In his position as Deputy Secretary of the Party Cell, Mr. Ngo Truong Huy always upholds the spirit of exemplaryness and responsibility in performing assigned tasks. He actively participates in Party building work at enterprises, coordinates training and introducing outstanding masses to Party organizations, contributing to consolidating the leadership role of the Party cell in enterprises outside the state sector.
Those persistent efforts have been recognized by many titles and forms of commendation from trade union organizations and authorities at all levels. Mr. Ngo Truong Huy is one of the typical grassroots Trade Union Chairmen praised and rewarded by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor in the patriotic emulation movement; at the same time, for many consecutive years, he has achieved the title of trade union member who excellently completed tasks.
From Mr. Huy's work experience, it shows that the effectiveness of trade union activities does not only come from movements and slogans, but is formed from professional capacity, understanding of businesses and a sense of responsibility to workers. His example is proof that grassroots trade union officials, when sticking to production, listening to workers and acting for the common good, will contribute to creating a solid foundation for the patriotic emulation movement to spread from the grassroots level.
