Speaking at the opening ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Van Phiet - Vice Chairman of the City Labor Federation, said that fostering theory and professional skills in trade union work is a very necessary content for each trade union official. Especially in the current period, when implementing the 2-level local government model, dissolving and terminating the activities of directly superior grassroots trade unions, establishing communes, wards, and special zones with models that are not strictly regulated, not comprehensively decentralized and unsynchronized. The team of trade union officials has just been consolidated through the 2025-2030 term congress, many officials participate for the first time, lacking practical experience as well as skills in trade union activities.
The Vice Chairman of the City Labor Federation requested the trainees to uphold their sense of responsibility, strictly comply with the class regulations, actively research, exchange and apply knowledge to practical work at their agencies and units. At the same time, he believes that after the course, the team of trade union officials of Hai Phong city will continue to improve their capacity, bravery and working skills, contributing to caring for and protecting the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of union members and workers; building the Trade Union organization to become increasingly strong and contribute positively to the socio-economic development of the city.
