Việt Nam•27/11/2023

The 13th National Congress of the Vietnam Trade Union, for the term 2023-2028, is a significant political event for the working class and the Vietnam Trade Union organization. It is a broad political activity involving cadres, union members, and workers nationwide. Attending the congress, the Binh Thuan Trade Union delegation consists of 11 delegates representing the will and aspirations of over 76,000 union members in the province.

Mr. Do Huu Quy – Provincial Party Committee member and Chairman of the Provincial Federation of Labor (LĐLĐ) – led the delegation. Ahead of the congress, delegates also shared their opinions and expressed their hopes.

The Provincial Labor Union visited and presented gifts to families of workers who had suffered accidents.

Chairman of the Provincial Federation of Labor Unions, Do Huu Quy: Do even better in fulfilling the task of representing, caring for, and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of union members and workers.

These days, across agencies, units, industrial zones, companies, and the workforce of workers and employees, trade unions at all levels are focusing on the congress. The Provincial Federation of Labor Unions has also mobilized trade unions at all levels to actively participate in the competition organized by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor. At the same time, it is emphasizing the dissemination of information and encouraging workers and employees to continue participating in patriotic emulation movements, working diligently in production; promptly grasping the thoughts and aspirations of union members and gathering their opinions to advise and propose solutions to the Party committees, government, and relevant agencies…

I believe that the 13th National Congress of the Vietnam Trade Union will make many groundbreaking decisions to concretize the reform of trade union organization and activities in accordance with the spirit of Resolution No. 02-NQ/TW, dated June 12, 2021, of the Politburo . Specifically, during the 2023-2028 term, the trade union organization will focus on better fulfilling its nhiệm vụ of representing, caring for, and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of its members and workers, contributing to improving the quality of life for them. It will also innovate and strengthen propaganda and mobilization efforts, enhancing the political acumen, educational level, professional skills, industrial work style, and labor discipline of its members and workers. Alongside this, it will build a strong trade union organization; attract and gather a large number of workers into the Vietnam Trade Union… Aiming towards the goal of building a modern and strong working class, contributing to realizing the aspiration for a prosperous and happy nation.

Chairman of the Provincial Civil Servants' Union, Tran Ngoc Phuc: I hope the Union will continue to innovate and put workers at the center.

Looking forward to the 13th National Congress of the Vietnam Trade Union, term 2023-2028, I believe and expect that the elected Executive Committee candidates will use their abilities and dedication to propose many practical programs, innovative and groundbreaking approaches, ensuring the legitimate rights and interests of union members and workers; continuing to be a bridge for workers to voice their opinions, so that the trade union always remains a common home and a warm haven for every member.

At the same time, I hope that the Trade Union will continue to innovate its content and methods of operation, focusing on the grassroots level and putting workers at the center. It should constantly enhance the role and position of the trade union organization within the political system, especially with the upcoming establishment of a parallel organization alongside the Vietnam Trade Union. Particular attention should be paid to the quantity and quality of full-time trade union officials, ensuring a strong trade union financial system; organizing vibrant and widespread movements to create new changes in trade union activities at all levels. With the strong development of science and technology, I hope that the trade union will increasingly apply information technology in its operations, meeting the requirements of digital transformation set forth by the Central Committee.

Chairman of the Trade Union of Binh Thuan Forestry Company Limited, Cao Van Nhan: There will be policies to support businesses when they face difficulties.

In recent times, the difficult economic situation has had a significant impact on the work and lives of union members and workers. I hope that in the new term, the Vietnam Trade Union will continue to propose amendments, additions, and the development of policies and laws with more preferential treatment for workers. On the other hand, it is necessary to pay attention to and coordinate with relevant agencies and units to propose policies to support businesses facing difficulties by extending the period of social insurance, health insurance, and unemployment insurance contributions for workers, so that businesses can ensure the resources to maintain production and business operations. Attention should also be paid to solutions for finalizing social insurance records for workers who have left their jobs when businesses are in arrears with social insurance contributions.

As a business operating in the forestry and wood processing sectors, we earnestly hope to receive attention from preferential policies regarding taxes, loan support, and operational mechanisms... to help us maintain our competitiveness in the market, ensure jobs and income for our employees, and achieve good production results to contribute to the development of the business, social welfare, and the local economy.

Chairperson of the Trade Union Committee of Right Rich International Co., Ltd., Doan Thi My Thach: Confident that the congress will elect a team of professional and dedicated trade union officials.

I believe that this congress will select individuals with the qualities, capabilities, prestige, and ethics to contribute to the further development of the Vietnam Trade Union organization. Furthermore, I expect that the policies and guidelines presented at the congress will focus more on workers, specifically in the areas of employment, wages, social insurance, occupational safety and health, and vocational education. Attention should be paid to coordinating labor and social insurance policies and laws within enterprises, contributing to protecting the rights and obligations of employers and employees; regulations related to enterprise operations; the implementation of the general minimum wage, regional minimum wage, rest periods, and labor discipline; and the implementation of the national program on occupational safety and health…
