Fully aware of the role of representing union members and workers (NLĐ)
This is the key of the trade union organization. When the Communist Party of Vietnam - the Party of the working class takes on the task of leading society, the role of the trade union organization is further promoted, especially in researching and proposing policies; participating in building and implementing laws; advising on mobilizing the strength of the entire political system, the consensus of many classes of people, bringing benefits to union members and workers on a large and large scale.
The draft report needs to mention the task of continuing to raise awareness of trade union officials and union members about the representative role through the activities of trade union officials and covering the representative role of the trade union organization to consolidate pride, promote the spirit of responsibility, and regularly cultivate knowledge. The product of the representative role is the benefit of the majority of union members from the achievements of the trade union organization's activities. It is necessary to periodically measure the level of satisfaction of union members with the trade union organization, this will make the representative role of employees more vivid.
Promoting the role of grassroots trade unions (CĐCS)
The Trade Union Law states: The Vietnam Trade Union is a large socio-political organization of the working class and of workers, established on a voluntary basis, is a member of the political system led by the Communist Party of Vietnam; representing workers, cadres, civil servants, public employees, workers, together with state agencies, economic organizations, social organizations to care for and protect the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of workers; participating in state management, socio-economic management; social supervision and criticism; participating in inspection, examination, and supervision of the activities of state agencies, organizations, units, and enterprises on issues related to the rights and obligations of workers; propagating and mobilizing workers to study to improve their qualifications and professional skills, comply with the law, participate in emulation movements, build and protect the Fatherland.
Implementing these basic characteristics, further promoting the role of grassroots trade unions becomes urgent. When trade union organizations mainly develop in the non-state sector and the private economy is identified as one of the most important drivers of the economy, the activities of grassroots trade union organizations and grassroots trade union leaders will contribute to the development of trade union organizations in terms of quantity, while affirming the important contribution of trade union organizations in the new era.
The draft report needs to pay attention to the task of making workers understand, voluntarily participate and establish grassroots trade unions by organizing diverse forms of activities and activities of union members at the grassroots level, promoting the role and responsibility of union members associated with caring for benefits. At the same time, research and build a grassroots trade union organization structure in a streamlined and effective direction. The Executive Committee of the grassroots trade union is trusted by union members, assigned the right to represent, and always pays attention to collecting union members' opinions on trade union activities.
Supplementing the goal of summarizing 100 years of building and developing the Vietnam Trade Union
2029 is not only the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Trade Union organization but also has great significance as a milestone to plan the overall road ahead. Therefore, right from the 14th Congress of the Vietnam Trade Union, it is necessary to add the goal towards the 100th anniversary of the Vietnam Trade Union as "sustainable quality of life for workers in the new era" right in the direction of the 2026-2031 term.
The quality of life of workers is improved from the synergy of 4 factors: Vocational capacity, ability to protect legitimate rights, and optimizing workers' finances are the foundation. Salary policies, creative labor motivation, and business welfare are fundamental. Economic development policies and social security and welfare policies of the State and local authorities are important. Promoting synchronous legal regulations on the right to represent union members, workers, and trade union welfare is essential.
The draft report needs to consider supplementing 3 key tasks: (1) raising awareness and promoting the proactive and positive role of each worker to make life better; (2) universalizing the concept of properly and well implementing regimes and policies for employees, accompanying trade union organizations is a beautiful corporate culture; (3) creating a major change in the image of the trade union organization.
In which, focus on advising on concretizing the Party and State's guidelines and policies with medium-term key plans, creating long-term changes in the quality of life, especially housing, travel... of union members. At the same time, there are short-term activities at necessary times to contribute to reducing the costs of union member families in life. Broadly implement the program of monitoring the implementation of regimes and policies for workers.
Decisively implement solutions to overcome the situation that nearly 20% of enterprises have grassroots trade unions but do not have collective labor agreements. Effectively use the resources of trade union organizations to gradually form long-term, practical, and modern trade union welfare.
The draft political report submitted to the 14th Vietnam Trade Union Congress, term 2026-2031, was prepared with a high sense of responsibility, carrying the breath of life, and convincingly explaining many new issues. It is hoped that the success of the Congress and through the process of organization and implementation will elevate trade union officials.
