Strengthening propaganda and political and ideological education
Ms. Pham Thi Thanh Tam - President of the Vietnam Textile and Garment Trade Union - said that through monitoring, grasping and reporting from trade unions at all levels in the industry, currently, garment workers are interested in the activities of the Party, the influence and impact of the Party on all aspects of social life. Among them, a number of workers are interested in joining the Party; however, this number is mainly workers assigned to manage production groups, the rest are workers directly involved in production with a low level of interest and the prospect of not really striving to become a member of the Vietnam Producer Party.
Ms. Thanh Tam affirmed that, through the past 5 years, the results of developing the Party among workers in the garment industry are still modest. Although the Party committees and trade unions at all levels have made many efforts, from 2020-2024, the entire system has admitted 1,416 Party members, but only 610 workers directly produce, accounting for nearly 44%, which is not compatible with the rate of direct workers.
Regarding the reason, Ms. Tam said that due to the low labor force, limited awareness, low living standards compared to other professions; moreover, female workers in the industry account for over 70%, so their top concern is taking care of their families and raising children. Therefore, the majority of workers working only focus on increasing income to improve their lives, and pay little attention to political activities.
Regarding solutions to develop Party members in enterprises, Ms. Thanh Tam said that it is necessary to strengthen propaganda and political and ideological education. In particular, include propaganda programs about the Party, about the role of the Party in building, protecting and developing the country, in issues related to the legitimate rights and interests of workers in Party and Trade Union activities, production team singing, and Trade Union radio programs to each workshop.
Political training courses for workers need to be organized in a reasonable and easy-to- read manner, helping them grasp knowledge about the Party and the importance of joining the Party in developing personal and professional skills.
There needs to be more policies and guidelines, creating strong mechanisms and policies that directly impact the work and life of workers, especially issues related to housing, social security, improving the quality of life of workers such as working conditions, wages, income, insurance, housing, schools, medical examination and treatment, places of cultural activities, sports facilities, etc. These practical and close issues will help create trust and interest of workers in the Party. Create conditions for workers to participate in movements and activities of the Party and organizations.
With major programs and events, the Party should invite more delegates who are workers to participate to witness, grasp information, absorb viewpoints and policies, thereby raising awareness, increasing solidarity, and arousing the hope of joining the Party. It is necessary to build a close relationship between the Party, the Trade Union and the workers.
Creating conditions for workers to strive for training
At the forum, Chairman of the Bac Giang Provincial Federation of Labor Nguyen Van Canh said that in order to continue promoting the development of party members among workers, it is necessary to diversify the forms and methods of propaganda and education, especially through social networking sites.
Promote emulation movements in labor and production with specific and practical contents, creating conditions for union members and workers to strive to practice, promote their capacity and strengths in work... to discover typical advanced and outstanding factors to introduce to the Party for consideration, training and admission.
Strengthen the leadership role of Party committees, closely coordinate between trade unions, party organizations and business owners to build effective cooperation regulations. Promote dialogue at the workplace to resolve workers' concerns, create conditions for party members to share information and listen to workers' wishes. Thereby, promoting sustainable cooperative relations between businesses and workers, contributing to reducing disputes and improving production efficiency.
