Collective bargaining and labor agreement signing achieved many positive results with 678 collective agreements signed.

Speaking at the conference, Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor Phan Van Anh praised and highly appreciated emulation cluster No. 8 in developing union and trade union members.
In 2025, trade unions at all levels in the Central Highlands will continue the task of developing union members along with Party building work.
At the same time, review, rearrange and merge agencies and units in a streamlined and efficient manner, practice thrift and combat waste according to the policies set forth by the Party and State.
“If dissolved or merged, public assets related to real estate and assets on land are redundant and not needed, there must be a plan to handle them.
The General Confederation's viewpoint is that if there is no need to use the assets, they will be handed over to local authorities for management. Because if used for the wrong purpose or not used at all, it is also a waste" - Mr. Phan Van Anh shared.
