Good labor, increase productivity to have good income

Among the 100 excellent workers of the Capital in 2026 - workers commended for outstanding achievements, contributing to improving labor productivity, product quality and business reputation - is Mr. Nguyen Van Thinh, technical worker of Thang Long Metal Joint Stock Company. As a mechanical repair technical worker who regularly comes into contact with machinery and equipment with high technical requirements, Mr. Thinh always proactively researches technical documents, practices skills, and actively participates in the "Good Labor, Creative Labor" movements launched by the Trade Union. In 2025, he excellently won the First Prize in the Hanoi City Excellent Worker Contest for CO2 welding and TIG welding.

Also awarded the title of Good Capital Worker in 2026, Mr. Nguyen Duc Quyen, a worker in the product grinding department of TOTO Vietnam Co., Ltd., shared about his process of striving to work hard to increase his productivity. Mr. Quyen said that to create high-quality products, achieve shine, durability, and beauty, workers must have skillful hands, perseverance and a spirit of receptiveness.

During the working process, although there were times when the product did not meet expectations, with the spirit of not giving up, he still diligently practiced to improve his skills. With persistent efforts and a spirit of eagerness to learn, Mr. Quyen achieved high results in the company's skills competitions and was selected to participate in the Global Skills Competition held in Japan. Despite having to compete with many contestants with more than 10 years of experience, but with diligence in training and guidance from his manager, Mr. Nguyen Duc Quyen excellently won the Gold prize in the Global Skills Competition.

Working in other fields, but both Mr. Thinh, Mr. Quyen and other good workers all affirmed that the emulation movements organized by the Trade Union have created motivation for them, arousing creativity so that each person can contribute more to the business. Because they understand that when labor productivity increases, not only businesses benefit but their income will also be better.

Over 186,000 initiatives, applications in practice

In the period 2023 - 2026, patriotic emulation movements launched and implemented by the Trade Union continued to spread strongly, arousing the aspiration to contribute, promoting the creative potential of union members and workers. As a result, there were more than 186,000 initiatives and applications in practice with a total benefit value of 17,503 billion VND.

The emulation movements "Good Labor, Creative Labor", "Good at state affairs, good at housework", "Culture, sports", "Green - Clean - Beautiful, Ensuring occupational safety and health" continue to be adjusted, concretized and widely deployed at all levels of trade unions. The emulation movement "Innovation, creativity, efficiency in the operation of the Trade Union organization" continues to spread, creating motivation to promote and encourage the team of Trade Union officials to propose initiatives, creative ideas, and solutions to improve the effectiveness of Trade Union activities.

Trade union levels mobilize union members and workers to actively respond and effectively participate in emulation movements launched by the Prime Minister, especially the movement "Promoting the development of synchronous and modern infrastructure; practicing thrift and combating wastefulness" and "The whole country emulates innovation and digital transformation", thereby affirming the role of the Trade Union organization in participating in the implementation of key and breakthrough tasks of the country.

Many good models, creative ways of doing things, and technical innovation initiatives from the grassroots level have been praised and replicated in a timely manner. Standards, conditions, processes, and procedures for commendation have been updated, completed, and concretized to suit the reality of each level of the Trade Union. The rate of commendation for direct workers and people not holding leadership positions reached more than 35%, exceeding the set target, clearly showing the orientation of taking union members and workers as the center, strongly directing commendation to the grassroots level, where they directly organize and respond to emulation movements.

One of the typical examples is the emulation movement on key national projects of the Electricity industry. In which, the "5 best" emulation movement launched by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor and Vietnam Electricity Group in coordination at power line, hydropower, and thermal power projects has created a vibrant emulation atmosphere, with clear goals and specific criteria: Fastest progress - Best quality - Safest, most economical - Most creative - Best care for life.

Sharing experiences in organizing and implementing emulation movements, Mr. Do Duc Hung - Member of the Executive Committee of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, Chairman of the Vietnam Electricity Trade Union said that emulation movements will be truly effective when associated with specific goals. For example, the 500kV circuit 3 emulation movement, building specific emulation criteria such as "Fastest progress - Best quality - Safest - Most economical - Best care for life".

Or in the emulation movement "Accelerating the progress of investment in construction of key projects of EVN in 2025", the emulation content is concretized by the theme "Three Pioneers, Two Responsibilities": Pioneering in infrastructure, Pioneering in completing progress, Pioneering in overcoming difficulties; Responsibility for ensuring quality, Responsibility for thrift, and combating wastefulness. The more specific and effective the goals, the clearer they become.
