Presenting at the conference, Mr. Ngo Duy Hieu emphasized the ineffective operation of most Labor Cultural Houses in localities across the country.
“There are some cultural houses that operate effectively, but most of them are not effective, not meeting the needs and desires of workers. This is a paradox because while workers are “starving” for true culture and our trade unions do not lack money, we allow Labor Cultural Houses in many localities to “go dark” and operate ineffectively,” he said.
According to Mr. Ngo Duy Hieu, the issue of dissolving the Labor Cultural House due to ineffective operations is easy and can be done very quickly. The difficulty is that localities must have thoughts and methods on how to make their local cultural houses stronger, meet the needs and attract workers in the area so as not to waste resources.
"Cultural consultants at local labor unions must consider the mood and needs of workers when advising and proposing policies," he said.
At the conference, leaders of Labor Culture Houses with good and effective methods, attracting a large number of workers in the area to participate such as: Hanoi, Binh Duong... also presented experiences, proposed policies, methods... for localities to learn from.
