At the meeting, Mr. Tan Minh Long - Chairman of the Dien Bien Provincial Federation of Labor - sent his best wishes to the businessmen and enterprises that are members of the Business Association. At the same time, he thanked the businessmen and enterprises for always accompanying and supporting activities to care for the lives of union members and workers.
Informing the conference, the Chairman of the Dien Bien Provincial Federation of Labor said that the whole province has 31,147 union members/33,942 workers and civil servants, working at 948 grassroots unions.
“In the first 9 months of 2024, 8 new grassroots trade unions were established and 292 new union members were admitted. The trade unions at all levels in Dien Bien province have always paid attention to protecting union members and workers and considered this the top priority in all aspects of trade union work,” Mr. Long emphasized.
However, developing union members and establishing grassroots unions in the non-state enterprise sector still faces many difficulties. Mr. Long hopes to continue receiving cooperation from the Business Association to jointly build a better working environment, thereby attracting more union members to join unions in the non-state enterprise sector.
Mr. Nguyen Chi Ba - Vice Chairman of Dien Bien Province Business Association - said that, in addition to caring for and protecting the interests of member businesses, the Business Association and its member businesses always attach importance to taking care of the lives of workers.
Since the beginning of 2024, the Association and its member businesses have visited and supported workers and the poor with more than ten billion VND. In the coming time, the Association will continue to accompany local authorities and trade unions at all levels to carry out activities to care for the lives of union members...
Agreeing with the proposal of the Labor Federation on coordinating propaganda and developing trade union organizations in enterprises, Mr. Bui Duc Giang - Chairman of the Dien Bien Provincial Business Association - also said: "The Association will strengthen the organization of dialogue activities with the government to remove difficulties for enterprises. In particular, the Association will regularly exchange with the Provincial Labor Federation to coordinate to better care for the interests of union members and workers in the locality".
