After the merger of the Labor Federations of Bac Lieu and Ca Mau provinces, what notable new points are there in the operation methods of the Labor Federation of Ca Mau province?
- After merging the Bac Lieu Provincial Federation of Labor and the Ca Mau Provincial Federation of Labor into the Ca Mau Provincial Federation of Labor under the Provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front, the basic functions and tasks will remain stable. However, with the scale of the expanded area, the organization needs to adapt to the apparatus, personnel and management methods. The merger creates conditions for the Ca Mau Provincial Federation of Labor to operate professionally, effectively and have greater influence.
The organizational work of the new Provincial Federation of Labor has also been adjusted. The Executive Committee, the Standing Committee, and the professional departments are restructured, ensuring balance between the cadres of the two provinces. The method of operation is more flexible, changing the way of directing and managing grassroots trade unions towards regional linkage, reducing the management mechanism according to simple administrative boundaries.
However, the merger also caused some initial difficulties such as: The workload was concentrated on the Provincial Federation of Labor, instead of being shared by the district-level union. This reduces proactiveness at the grassroots level, because district-level trade unions are knowledgeable about the characteristics of localities and enterprises.
Sir, in the context of a sharp decrease in the number of union members, what solutions will the Ca Mau Provincial Federation of Labor implement in 2025 to develop union members?
- Faced with the reality of a decrease in the number of union members, in the coming time, the Provincial Federation of Labor has set out a number of key tasks as follows:
Complete the Steering Committee for developing union members, establish grassroots unions; survey and count enterprises that do not have union organizations, thereby establishing a specialized working group to mobilize the establishment; at the same time, coordinate with the Department of Home Affairs, the Department of Finance, Social Insurance, Tax, the Management Board of Economic Zones, Industrial Parks... to develop union members and establish grassroots unions.
Innovating propaganda methods, proactively approaching workers to mobilize and explain their rights when joining the Vietnam Trade Union; effectively using social networks, such as: Zalo, Facebook, union fanpages... Organizing direct communication sessions at businesses, boarding houses, especially focusing on young workers, shift workers, seasonal workers...
What specific programs is expected the Federation of Labor to have?
The Provincial Federation of Labor continues to seek partners to expand "Welfare for union members" programs such as: discounts on purchases, free medical examinations for workers in difficult circumstances... Maintain effective programs such as "Tet Sum Vay", "Worker's Month", "Union Shelter"...
Better coordinate with Party committees, authorities, and relevant sectors to build a mechanism for coordinating the development of union members, establishing grassroots unions in residential areas, industrial clusters, and concentrated production areas. Applying information technology, digitizing union member management, deploying and updating union member management software (according to the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor system).
- Thank you!
