Speaking at the workshop, Permanent Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor Thai Thu Xuong emphasized: The work of rewarding the Trade Union organization is not only a recognition of achievements, but also an important spiritual motivation, motivating union members and workers to maximize their creativity, enthusiastically compete in labor production, contributing to the successful implementation of local and national development goals. However, in the context of many changes in the organizational apparatus, some regulations in the Reward Regulations of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor reveal inappropriate points; some criteria and processes need to be adjusted to meet new realities.
According to Ms. Tran Thu Phuong - Deputy Head of the Trade Union Work Committee of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, regarding the content of collecting opinions on completing the Regulations on Rewards of the Trade Union organization, the Trade Union Work Committee of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor has advised on amending the Regulations on Rewards of the Trade Union organization (amended) with a number of contents. Accordingly, the total number of Articles in the draft Regulation has 50 articles, shortening 2 articles compared to the old Regulation. Some major amendments include the subjects of application, proposing to amend "Union levels" to "collectives under the Trade Union organization" to suit the new model of commune, ward, and special zone trade unions and remove "cementaries, civil servants, and public employees" to avoid overlap and avoid confusion about subjects.
Regarding the forms of commendation, it is proposed to remove the form of Certificate of Merit of the Trade Union at the grassroots level because this level no longer exists; adding the "Dynamic, Creative, Responsible Female Union Member Award". The award has been issued by the Presidium of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor and organized the first award ceremony in 2025 in October 2025...
From the reality that a business has nearly 10,000 employees, Ms. Nguyen Thi Ai - Chairwoman of the Trade Union of Sunjade Vietnam Shoes Company Limited (Thanh Hoa) - affirmed that emulation and reward work at a business with a large number of employees is extremely important. Therefore, Ms. Ai suggested that rewards should be carried out regularly and promptly to encourage immediately instead of rewarding at the end of the term, summarizing, or summarizing. Currently contributing directly to the articles of the Regulations, according to Mr. Uong Quang Huy - Vice President of the Vietnam Electricity Trade Union, there should be a subject awarding the title of excellent unit, while adding the title of excellent unit union to suit the organizational model.
One content that many delegates proposed was to streamline the form to the maximum, increase the use of electronic documents submission; allow online confirmation to shorten the time. In particular, opinions from many industry unions and local labor federations suggested increasing the reward ratio to encourage employees, especially for FDI enterprises.
