On December 26, the Labor Federation of Hoa Binh province said that the Provincial People's Committee has just issued a document on strictly implementing the deduction and payment of union funds; coordinating the handling of violations of regulations on union fund debts.
The document clearly states that currently in the province, there are still many enterprises that have not strictly implemented the regulations on deducting and paying 2% of the trade union fund. There are enterprises that have evaded payment, paid late, paid correctly and fully according to the salary fund and the number of employees required to pay the trade union fund according to regulations, etc., affecting the operating budget of trade unions at all levels, especially grassroots trade unions that do not have a source of funding to organize activities to care for union members and employees at the grassroots trade unions.
On that basis, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Hoa Binh province has directed that the Departments, branches, sectors, unions, People's Committees of districts, cities, agencies, units, and enterprises of all economic sectors seriously implement the direction of the Provincial People's Committee on the implementation of Article 26 of the 2012 Trade Union Law.
