According to a report by the Thai Nguyen Provincial Labor Federation at the working session, the whole province currently has 882 enterprises using 15 or more workers with social insurance contributions with over 174.3 thousand workers and laborers. In which, there are more than 154 thousand union members operating in 540 grassroots trade unions under the management of the Provincial Labor Federation, nearly 10 thousand union members and workers (NLĐ) belonging to central enterprises located in the area; more than 10 thousand NLĐ have not participated in the Trade Union organization.
After arranging the organizational structure, the Thai Nguyen Provincial Labor Federation has closely followed the leadership of the Provincial Party Committee and the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor. The activities of the trade union organization have had many positive changes, continuing to affirm its role as a representative organization, caring for and protecting the rights of workers, making an important contribution to the implementation of socio-economic development tasks.
At the working session, opinions were exchanged, discussed, and proposed solutions to remove difficulties and improve operational efficiency in the context of increasing workload when the Provincial Labor Federation has to directly manage 540 grassroots trade unions, mostly non-state sectors, FDI enterprises, and at the same time perform many other tasks, which has put great pressure on human resources.
In addition, the work of developing union members in the non-state sector still faces difficulties, the quality of dialogue and collective negotiation is not uniform, and the capacity of a part of grassroots trade union officials is still limited.
Mr. Trinh Xuan Truong - Secretary of Thai Nguyen Provincial Party Committee - highly appreciated the trade union activities in the past time that have made positive contributions to the socio-economic development of the province. At the same time, he requested trade unions at all levels to overcome difficulties, continue to innovate operations, and focus on developing union members and grassroots trade unions in non-state enterprises.

At the same time, he acknowledged the opinions and recommendations of Thai Nguyen province to study in the direction of adjusting some regulations that are not yet appropriate and meet practical requirements.
The Chairman of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor proposed that the Thai Nguyen Provincial Labor Federation develop a Project to establish the Industrial Zone Trade Union; commune and ward trade unions according to the inter-commune and ward model based on careful and cautious assessment, the model must be very streamlined to request the policy of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee.
In the new context posing many challenges, the President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor proposed that the Thai Nguyen Provincial Labor Federation continue to innovate leadership methods in the direction of being deeply involved in grassroots levels, flexible and effective, putting union members and workers at the center; promote digital transformation in trade union activities.
