The units have developed plans and programs, guiding trade unions at all levels to organize implementation.
In the process of performing tasks, inspection committees at all levels regularly innovate methods and working methods, improve the quality and efficiency of inspection and supervision work. Inspection and supervision work has had important changes. Trade unions at all levels have issued many documents and regulations on inspection and supervision work to promote the role and tasks of the executive committee, standing committee, and union inspection committee.

The content of activities of trade union inspection committees at all levels has basically followed the annual work program of the Inspection Committee of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, linked to the specific situation at each level to effectively organize the implementation of inspection and supervision tasks of the Trade Union organization. Every year, the Executive Committee, Standing Committee, and Inspection Committees of trade unions at all levels develop and issue specific work programs and inspection and supervision plans, close to the reality and direction of the higher-level trade union.

Inspection is always necessary and regular
To make inspection and supervision more effective in the new situation, the trade union inspection committees of some units proposed issuing new Resolutions to replace Resolution 06b to suit the practical situation of trade union inspection and supervision work at present.
Some targets set out in Resolution 06b after many years of implementation are no longer suitable, and it is recommended that there be adjustments when issuing a new resolution. Propose to supplement and adjust a number of tasks and solutions when issuing a new resolution.
The representative of the Hanoi City Labor Federation said that a new resolution should not be issued to replace Resolution 06b because the whole country is still in the process of rearranging and reorganizing the apparatus, but should only issue notices or conclusions to adjust some indicators and inspection plans in the coming time.
The Inspection Committee of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor also recommended that the issuance of a new resolution at the present time was not appropriate; after the Trade Union organization model was clear, it will consider issuing a suitable resolution later. However, the delegates all agreed that, no matter how the apparatus is arranged, inspection is always necessary and regular.
The issue is that the task needs to be consistent with the current situation, because only in terms of organization, the rearrangement of socio-political organizations, including the Vietnam Trade Union, and the assignment of tasks to the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front will lead to a comprehensive reform and change in the organizational structure of the trade union apparatus at all levels, and the functions and tasks of the professional departments and inspection committees. At that time, to meet the requirements of work during and after completing the streamlining and rearrangement of the Trade Union organization, it is inevitable that a number of cadres will have to concurrently hold many tasks in addition to the specific professional tasks of the trade union at all levels of trade unions from the Central to local levels.
Speaking at the workshop, President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor Nguyen Dinh Khang said that Resolution 06b revealed many shortcomings, many of which were still formal. Therefore, the President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor suggested that the delegates contribute their opinions on the model and methods of operation to make the inspection work effective and substantial. In particular, study whether to let part-time staff check or not, because in reality this model is ineffective. According to Mr. Nguyen Dinh Khang, in the coming time, the trade union inspection committees will only focus on financial inspection work.
President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor Nguyen Dinh Khang assigned the Inspection Committee of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor to coordinate in completing the summary report of Resolution 06b on quality to serve the National Summary Conference on Resolution 06b, scheduled to be held on March 31.
