As of July 1, 2025, the Cao Bang Provincial Federation of Labor (CFF) has received and directly managed 105 grassroots unions (CDCS) in the production and business sector, with a total of 3,346 union members. The reorganization of this apparatus takes place in the context that the Provincial Federation of Labor no longer maintains separate professional departments as before but unifies them into one unit, the Trade Union Working Committee.
Under the new organizational model, union cadres are assigned to be directly in charge of clusters of communes and wards.
In the first 6 months of 2025, provincial trade unions at all levels have organized a series of activities to practically care for union members, workers, civil servants, and laborers (CNVCLD) on the occasion of Lunar New Year and Workers' Month. Total social mobilization resources reached over 7.4 billion VND, used to implement extensive social security activities.
Through typical programs such as "Tet Sum Vay - Xuan Ung Deng" and "Tet Union Market", the Provincial Federation of Labor visited and presented 11,625 gifts to union members and workers in difficult circumstances.
In addition, organize other meaningful activities such as "New Year's Eve", "Workers' Day", "Union Meal", "Thank You to Workers", "May Union Member Admissions", health check-ups, free medicine distribution, organizing coffee booths... creating a cohesive and warm atmosphere among the workforce.
The work of representing and protecting the legitimate and legal rights and interests of employees continues to be a highlight. The rate of organizing dialogue conferences between Party committees, authorities and employees reached 100%, helping to effectively resolve recommendations, avoiding hot spots or strikes.
Activities during Workers' Month and the Labor Safety and Hygiene Competition - Fire Prevention and Control have raised legal awareness and improved working conditions for workers.
In terms of communication and policy development, provincial trade unions at all levels have actively promoted and collected comments on the draft: 2013 Constitution Amendment, Trade Union Law, Fatherland Front Law, and Grassroots Democracy Implementation Law. More than 28,000 union members participated in giving comments with a high sense of responsibility and consensus.
In particular, the thematic conference "Cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers are creative, confident, and pioneering in entering the new era" attracted over 1,000 delegates to attend in person and more than 80,000 online followers, demonstrating its profound influence.
Speaking to Lao Dong Newspaper, Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong Nhung - Vice President in charge of the Cao Bang Provincial Federation of Labor - affirmed: In the coming time, the Provincial Trade Union will focus on the task of becoming a harmonious bridge to balance the interests of employees and enterprises, implemented effectively and with quality.
One of the new points shared by Ms. Nhung is the development of a set of criteria to evaluate the happiness index for union members - a breakthrough direction in caring for workers.
Along with that, the Provincial Federation of Labor also pays special attention to improving the knowledge level for workers through mobile propaganda sessions.
According to Ms. Nhung, streamlining the organizational apparatus not only helps the apparatus operate effectively but is also an opportunity to improve the quality of the trade union staff. Each individual will have to perfect their independent working skills and improve the quality of assigned work, she emphasized.
With positive changes in organization and operation, the Cao Bang Provincial Federation of Labor is gradually affirming its core role in accompanying, protecting and developing the lives of union members and workers in the new context.
