The above is the opinion of Mr. Dao Ngoc Dung - Minister of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs - at the discussion in the group about the draft Law on Trade Unions (amended) held on June 8. Mr. Dao Ngoc Dung also emphasized: "As a tax, it must be managed like a tax, not haphazardly, whoever wants to manage it can do so."
First of all, it is necessary to clarify whether union fees are a tax or not.
The purpose of tax collection is to generate revenue for the State budget, enabling the Government to finance public services such aseducation , healthcare, infrastructure, security, defense and social welfare programs. Union funds are to care for and protect the legitimate rights and interests of union members and employees at enterprises.
Regarding the union budget, is it "all-in, anyone can manage it"?
The answer is that the union budget leaves 75% for the grassroots union to take care of union members and workers, and 25% is distributed to the direct grassroots level, provincial level and central level.
According to the calculation of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, the union budget directly takes care of union members and workers by nearly 87%. The use of this budget is in accordance with regulations and is periodically checked and audited.
Like any other agency or organization, targets must have financial and accounting principles. Any individual or unit that makes a mistake must be held responsible before the law. It is impossible for anyone to do whatever they want and manage however they want.
The union uses the 2% budget to care for and protect the rights of workers, and also plays a role in stabilizing and harmonizing the relationship between workers and employers. The benefits of stable labor relations are the common interests of workers, businesses and society as a whole.
Imagine, a business has conflicts between employees and employers, if there is no union, it will be chaotic, affecting production and business. Employees lose part of their income, the business suffers heavy losses. But when the union participates in mediation, both sides exercise their rights and obligations in accordance with the law, find a common voice, harmonize interests, then the business is stable to operate.
