I. ASSESSING THE RESULTS OF IMPLEMENTING THE RESOLUTION OF THE 13TH VIETNAM TRADE UNION CONGRESS, PERIOD 2023 – 2026
1. The world and domestic context and the situation of workers, civil servants, and laborers
In recent years, the world and domestic context has developed rapidly and complicatedly, with many unprecedented issues appearing beyond expectations. The socio-economic situation in the country has basically recovered after the pandemic but still faces many difficulties due to the impact of the world situation. Armed conflicts, adjustments to tax policies by major countries, and trade wars have reduced global economic growth; science, technology, innovation, and artificial intelligence have made unprecedented breakthroughs, and technological competition is increasingly fierce.
The Party and State have focused on leading and directing drastically, issuing many strategic decisions, creating historical imprints: the revolution in arranging and streamlining the organizational structure of the political system, promoting the development of the private economy, promoting the development of science and technology, innovation and digital transformation; innovating the work of building and enforcing laws to meet the development requirements of the country in the new era; implementing a high economic growth plan, creating a foundation for double-digit growth for the period 2026-2031...
The contingent of workers, civil servants, and laborers continues to have rapid development in both quantity [i] and quality [ii], being the leading force in the cause of industrialization, modernization and international integration. The political awareness, legal awareness, and trust of workers in the Party and State are strengthened. The trend of industrializing workers helps to form a generation of dynamic and creative young workers, capable of applying new technologies, mastering modern production lines, making important contributions to economic growth and social stability. The income and living standards of most workers have been improved, and labor relations are increasingly harmonious, stable and progressive.
However, the awareness, working style and professional skills of a part of workers are still low, the ability to access and apply science and technology is not high, labor productivity is slow to improve. Social infrastructure serving workers is still lacking, outdated and scattered. Crimes, social evils, and activities to lure and incite workers are complicated. The situation of unsustainable employment, low income, violations of labor laws, wage arrears, social insurance and health insurance arrears, and the arrangement of the trade union apparatus... directly affect the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs of union members, workers, and trade union officials. In that context, trade union levels have made efforts to innovate the content and methods of operation, organize the implementation of the goals, tasks, and solutions set out by the Resolution of the 13th Vietnam Trade Union Congress, achieving many important results.

3. Existing, limitations and causes
3. 1. Existence, limitation
- The results of performing the task of representing, caring for, and protecting the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of union members and workers and building labor relations are not evenly distributed between localities and regions, and in some places do not meet the requirements. Reactions to emergencies and unexpected situations are sometimes and in some places still slow. Access to informal sector workers and vulnerable groups is not effective.
- Propaganda and political, ideological, and legal education for union members and workers and grasping public opinion have not kept up with practical requirements. The participation of some grassroots trade unions and some provincial and city Labor Federations, and industry trade unions in the struggle to protect the Party's ideological foundation is still limited.
- The development of union members and the establishment of grassroots trade unions have not reached the set targets; the organizational model of the trade union apparatus and the operation of the apparatus after arrangement are still inadequate, affecting the quality and efficiency of trade union activities.
- The situation of loss of trade union funds still occurs in many enterprises, mainly small-scale enterprises, enterprises without trade union organizations; financial management in some places is not strict; the operational efficiency of some public service units and affiliated enterprises is not high.
- The direction and organization of the implementation of the Resolution of the 13th Vietnam Trade Union Congress in some contents and fields is still slow; there are 2 targets not achieved [xvii]. Digital transformation has not met the requirements and goals set out.
3. 2. Cause
- Objective reasons: The awareness of some Party committees and authorities about the position and role of the Trade Union organization is not complete. State management in the labor sector still has shortcomings; violations of the law by employers still occur a lot. The deployment and operation of the organizational apparatus according to the new model is difficult to avoid confusion and obstacles.
- However, subjective reasons are still the main ones. The work of advising on concretizing the implementation of the Resolution of the 13th Vietnam Trade Union Congress has areas that are not proactive, slow to issue directing documents or lack urging, guidance, and supervision of the organizational implementation process. The thinking and vision of a part of trade union officials have not met the requirements of the new situation; the ability to adapt and concretize the Party's guidelines and resolutions, programs, and plans of activities of higher-level trade unions at some provincial, sectoral and grassroots units is still limited. The heads of trade union organizations in some localities, units, and trade union levels lack innovation, creativity, decisiveness, fear of responsibility, and are not deeply involved in grassroots levels...
4. Lessons learned
First, ensuring comprehensive, absolute, and regular leadership of the Party over trade union organizations and activities. Timely concretizing the guidelines and directions of the Party and State, meeting the requirements of the actual situation, the needs and aspirations of union members and workers, ensuring harmony of interests of workers - businesses - society, in harmony with the interests of the Party, nation, and people.
Second, focus all resources on performing well the basic functions, key tasks, and core of the Trade Union organization, which is to represent, care for, and protect the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of union members and workers, creating attraction and trust for workers to participate and be attached to the Trade Union organization.
Third, build a team of trade union officials at all levels, especially full-time trade union officials and grassroots trade union presidents who are dedicated, responsible, brave, have skills and working methods, understand union members and workers, and understand the situation of businesses and units.
Fourth, trade union activities must be concentrated at the grassroots level, taking union members and workers as the center; all guidelines, resolutions, programs, and trade union activity plans must originate from the needs and aspirations of union members and workers, suitable for each type of grassroots trade union and the specific characteristics of each enterprise and unit.
Fifth, regularly innovate thinking, promote innovation, digital transformation; improve the forecasting capacity, adaptive capacity, and persuasive capacity of the Trade Union organization.
II. OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS FOR THE 2026 - 2031 TERM
1. Forecast of the international and domestic situation
The world situation is changing rapidly and complicatedly towards multipolar, multi-center, multi-layer and strong decentralization. Peace, cooperation, and development are still major trends but face many new challenges. Strategic competition between major countries will become more complex and fierce. The fourth industrial revolution is taking place at a faster pace, deeply impacting all fields. New production forces, especially high technology and artificial intelligence, are developing breakthroughs unprecedentedly. The trend of strategic autonomy in economy, green transformation, digital transformation, and energy transformation is increasingly being promoted.
Domestically, after 40 years of renovation, the foundation, potential, position and international prestige of the country have been raised, which is an important foundation for the country to rise in the new era. The revolution to streamline the organizational structure of the political system along with the promulgation of many new strategic decisions [xviii] creates historical opportunities for the country's breakthrough development, the growth of the Trade Union organization and raising the position of the Vietnamese working class. However, our country still faces many difficulties. Socio-economic development is not sustainable; labor productivity is low; the requirement for double-digit economic growth faces many challenges. The risk of lagging behind, especially in technology and falling into the middle-income trap, is always present. The process of population aging, the polarization of rich and poor tends to increase, creating multi-dimensional challenges for the economy, culture, and social security.
The labor structure continues to have strong changes. Labor in private enterprises and informal sector labor tend to increase rapidly. Workers have many opportunities to choose jobs and develop themselves, but the quality of our country's human resources in general is still low, lacking high-quality human resources. A part of workers faces the risk of losing their jobs in the context of automation, if not cared for, they will be at risk of being left behind.
Vietnam continues to promote international integration, promote labor relations to develop, operate fully according to market rules, in accordance with international labor standards. The organization of workers at enterprises is born, posing very new and unprecedented requirements and challenges for trade union activities, posing potential risks of causing political insecurity and social order and safety if not managed and oriented correctly.
The above context requires trade union levels to continue to innovate leadership thinking, content, and methods of operation on the basis of ensuring the comprehensive and absolute leadership of the Party, meeting the legitimate needs and aspirations of union members and workers, and the requirement to promote industrialization, modernization of the country and international integration. Trade union activities continue to strongly focus on grassroots levels, arousing and strongly promoting the creativity and contribution of union members and workers in realizing the aspiration to develop the country in the new era, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Vietnam Trade Union, towards successfully implementing the strategic goals of 100 years of Party establishment and 100 years of national establishment.
