On the afternoon of May 19, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor organized a conference to summarize 5 years of implementing Conclusion 01-KL/TW of the Politburo and commend advanced examples of studying and following Ho Chi Minh's thought, morality, and style.
Speaking at the conference, Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan said that during his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh always paid special attention to the working class and the Vietnam Trade Union organization.
He clearly pointed out the historical mission of the working class in the revolutionary cause, and at the same time laid the foundation for the birth of the Vietnam Trade Union organization.
He often advised: "Brothers and sisters, you must clearly recognize that today workers are the owners of the factory, you must be worthy of that position, you must strive to make the factory develop, implement increased production and thrift, combat wastefulness, and thoroughly respect labor discipline... If the factory develops, it is possible to improve the lives of workers and employees".
Those teachings are still valid today, reminding each union member and worker of the spirit of responsibility, emulation in labor production to develop businesses, develop the country and improve their own lives.
Imbued with his teachings, deeply understanding the meaning and importance of studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality, and style, promoting the results achieved in implementing Directive No. 05-CT/W, after the Politburo issued Conclusion No. 01-KL/TW, the Presidium of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor issued Guidance No. 37/HD-TLĐ dated October 28, 2021 and Plan No. 154/KH-TLĐ dated December 8, 2021 directing trade union levels to organize the implementation of Conclusion No. 01-KL/TW and study the entire course "Studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality, and style on self-reliance, self-strengthening and aspiration to develop a prosperous and happy country".
Accordingly, the entire trade union system has built and maintained thousands of creative models and effective ways of studying and following Uncle Ho such as: "Ho Chi Minh Cultural Space", "Learning and following Uncle Ho Corner", "Workers following Uncle Ho's words", "Promoting tradition, dedicating talent, worthy of Uncle Ho's soldiers"...
In particular, thoroughly grasping Uncle Ho's ideology on patriotic emulation, trade union levels focused on launching emulation movements, the core of which is the "Good Labor, Creative Labor" movement, achieving many important results, contributing to the overall development of the country.
Over the past 5 years, through emulation movements launched by the Trade Union, union members and workers have proposed nearly 2.8 million initiatives applied in practice, benefiting the State and businesses by nearly 103 trillion VND.
The work of discovering, commending, rewarding, and replicating good models, effective practices, and typical examples in studying and following Uncle Ho has been promptly and strongly focused on grassroots levels and union members and direct workers.
In the past 5 years, trade union levels have commended and rewarded nearly 96 thousand individuals and nearly 30 thousand collectives with outstanding achievements in studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality, and style, contributing to spreading positive values and creating motivation for emulation among union members, workers, and trade union organizations.
The Chairman of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor said that the 131 typical advanced collectives and individuals studying and following Uncle Ho commended at today's Conference are flowers imbued with fragrance and color in the flower garden of studying and following Uncle Ho of the Trade Union organization.
Through the specific and vivid stories of the comrades, the study and following of Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics, and style has been widely spread, becoming a strong spiritual motivation, fostering belief, arousing the will to rise up, the spirit of responsibility and the desire to contribute in each trade union official, union member, and worker.
Besides the basic achievements, we also frankly acknowledge that the implementation of Directive No. 05-CT/TW and Conclusion No. 01-KL/TW of the Politburo at all levels of trade unions still has some limitations such as: the implementation in some places is still formalistic and ineffective; the development of plans for deployment, cultivation, and training of revolutionary ethics in a part is not serious, and violations still occur among trade union officials, union members, and workers; the work of commendation and reward in some places is still "uniform" and not substantial" - Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan expressed.
According to Chairman of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor Nguyen Anh Tuan, in the face of the requirements of the new situation, studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics, and style is becoming increasingly necessary.
This is not only an important solution, the foundation to maintain the revolutionary ethics of cadres and party members, contributing to building a clean and strong Party and political system, but also a strong spiritual motivation to promote the entire Party, people, and army to overcome difficulties and challenges to successfully implement the two 100-year strategic goals in the spirit of the 14th Party Congress Resolution.
Promoting the results achieved after 5 years of implementing Conclusion No. 01-KL/TW and 10 years of implementing Directive No. 05-CT/TW of the Politburo, Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan requested trade union levels to continue to promote further, bringing the study and following of Uncle Ho among cadres, union members, and workers to become more and more substantive.
Strengthen propaganda to raise awareness about the meaning, importance and responsibility of cadres, union members, and workers in studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics, and style. Effectively implement Directive No. 58-CT/TW dated January 10, 2026 of the Secretariat of the Party Central Committee on "Strengthening the Party's leadership over propaganda, political, ideological, and legal education for workers in the new situation".
In which, focus on the content of Ho Chi Minh's ideology, the Party's guidelines, and the State's policies and laws. More clearly and closely concretize the criteria of "learning", "following" for each target group of trade union officials, union members, and workers and seriously and effectively implement them based on the application of digital platforms.
Continue to promote existing effective models, research, build, and replicate models suitable to new requirements; and at the same time, pay attention to discovering, praising, and promptly rewarding advanced examples, good people, and good deeds to further spread the study and following of Uncle Ho in the Trade Union organization, union members, and workers, contributing to building a modern and strong Vietnamese working class and a comprehensively strong Trade Union organization.
