Strengthening the internal strength of trade union officials

Trần Thanh Hải - Nguyên Phó Chủ tịch Thường trực Tổng LĐLĐVN |

Currently, the issue of unifying trade union activities from the central to the grassroots level has become an urgent issue, to focus resources on political goals such as building a large number of union members with strong personnel... There are many important tasks, but the key is some issues of strengthening the internal resources of trade union officials.

vun fosters a love for union work

Love for union work is the goal to build a team of full-time union officials who sympathize with difficulties, sometimes even unfairness towards workers; recognize that union work is sincere, for the common good, and has noble goals; recognize the natural, profound and strong connection between people in the same situation and their leaders.

To nurture a love for union work, it is necessary to strengthen the connection with union members and grassroots unions, doing the following 5 things:

Implement a regular regular activity regime directly with the Trade Union President to listen to real feedback; listen to forecasts that may affect the jobs and incomes of workers; explore the ability to accept new activities; gradually better understand the circumstances of Trade Union officials.

Stand up with the Executive Committee of the Trade Union when participating in resolving collective work stoppages. In this situation, full-time union officials will feel more fully the strength of workers, truly understand the reasons for workers' collective reactions, clearly understand the level of authority of the Executive Committee of the grassroots trade union and the responsibility of the full-time union officials themselves. Accompany the Executive Committee of the Trade Union in the negotiation process on wages. Currently, negotiating on wages must truly become the No. 1 task of the Trade Union, so the Trade Union really needs investment and information on the salary market from the higher-level trade union, with a team of full-time trade union officials to stand side by side, guide and lead the Trade Union.

Actively participate in solidarity activities with union members to overcome difficulties to better understand the practical situation, creativity and liveliness in union activities at the grassroots level; summarize and replicate the thinking about the practical activities of the union organization. Establish a direct information channel for union members...

Responsibility for trade union work

Specialized union officials must be responsible when the legitimate rights of workers are violated; must resolutely reclaim the legitimate rights of workers who have been deprived; must bravely speak up with relevant state management agencies and overlapping, unrealistic regulations, leading to a deadlock or prolonging the settlement process.

Quickly and effectively resolve workers' complaints and denunciations. Union officials must promptly get involved, strictly implement regulations, fully report results to workers and closely monitor the implementation to workers as well as the implementation responsibilities of union officials at all levels. Most of the concerns about the legitimate rights of workers come from the implementation of enterprises, so it is necessary to pay attention to the initial stage, at the place of occurrence. Summarize and replicate typical examples of creative and effective grassroots trade unions in removing worker concerns, which are highly appreciated by many employers, contributing to building harmonious, stable and progressive labor relations.

Specialized union officials are responsible for protecting union officials who are discouraged by union activities with an uncompromising attitude, persistent in fighting, having a team of quality lawyers, dedicated to workers and unions; effectively using the union press system, associated press, and union media forces to condemn inappropriate behavior.

Equipped with accurate and in-depth knowledge about the trade union profession

The provincial and municipal Labor Federations proactively plan for periodic training in trade union work for affiliated trade unions at all levels.

For full-time trade union officials: Conduct general training programs on trade unions, equip themselves with knowledge specific to trade union organizations, as a basis for reviewing, evaluating, and adjusting current activities; use when researching and developing new activities (other than the the theoretical and professional training program on trade union work).

At the same time, build a term lecture system. From the Resolution of the Congress, select to build a thematic lecture with specific content on the tasks that need to be focused on, clearly mentioning the goals, solutions, and subjects. These lectures are as valuable as the implementation plan, being a thorough understanding of the implementation of the Congress Resolution, not just stopping at disseminating the Congress Resolution (unlike specialized lectures according to functions and tasks).

For grassroots union cadres, due to the limited time of union activities, the selected action lectures have become the issues implemented at the grassroots level.

At the same time, build a practical "month-end class" for each grassroots union group. In particular, form a team of grassroots trade union cadres who grasp and operate legal regulations well; maximize the principle of democratic centralism throughout the working process, so that workers become a unified bloc, expressing the right to decide in a true, reasonable and reasonable manner; firmly adhere to the principle: Not sacrificing workers' rights for the rights of trade union cadres; being flexible but strict, not excessive in negotiation; focusing on key issues of the desire of workers, so that the most workers can enjoy them, making workers' income increase reasonably, significantly, and periodically every year.

The self-adjustment of full-time union officials in studying and improving knowledge is the most important factor. When forming a team of cadres with a solid professional background, living and working responsibly, loving union work and being supervised and evaluated with specific products after study, it will both overcome limitations and open up space for innovation.

Thereby, we have truly dedicated and talented cadres, contributing to the workers' and trade union movements in the new era, while preserving memorable memories when attached to workers in many difficulties.
