Mr. Pham The Hien – Chairman of the Di An City Confederation of Labor delivers a speech at the conference

Mr. Pham The Hien, Chairman of the Di An City Labor Union, stated that the role of the Trade Union has been effectively promoted in supporting union members and workers in difficult circumstances, serious illnesses, and labor accidents. Notably, the Binh Duong Provincial Fund to Support Workers in Particularly Difficult Circumstances has been highly appreciated by workers over the past period. In addition, the Trade Unions at all levels have focused on and coordinated themselves to address difficulties and obstacles, contributing to stabilizing production and strengthening harmonious relations between workers and enterprises. Meanwhile, activities to take care of the material, cultural, and spiritual lives of union members and workers during "Workers' Month" and "Tet Reunions" have become a "trademark" of the grassroots trade union organization.

Mr. Pham The Hien proposed a policy on allowances for grassroots trade union officials. According to him, the responsibility allowance coefficient for the Chairman of Grassroots trade unions in enterprises and non-state sectors should be determined based on the number of union members and the amount of union fees paid in the previous year, applied to a framework of 50 to 30,000 union members, corresponding to a coefficient from 0.10 to 1.0 compared to the regional minimum wage set by the Government. For other subjects, the Grassroots Trade Union Executive Board shall base on the approved expenditure to specify the coefficient for allowances in the internal expenditure regulations of the Grassroots Trade Union.

This policy has not been truly attractive to grassroots trade union officials in enterprises, especially in enterprises with a small number of workers, as the allowance amount is not commensurate with the job requirements that grassroots trade union officials in enterprises must perform and the risks involved in their activities.

Sharing his experience in fostering, introducing, and developing party members in enterprises, Mr. Mai Phu Hung, Vice Chairman of the Grassroots Trade Union of Yazaki EDS Company, said that identifying and nurturing outstanding Grassroots T0rade Union members among workers to introduce and develop party members is an important task and a regular responsibility of the Grassroots Trade Union organization.

Over the years, through various activities and emulation movements, the company's Grassroots Trade Union has conducted a review of the source of party development to select outstanding individuals, focusing on introducing sources from the Grassroots Trade Union officers at the team level and above, paying particular attention to nurturing Chairmen, Vice Chairmen, and Executive Committee members of the Grassroots Trade Union to be recommended to the Party for consideration and sent to attend classes to foster party sympathy and admit new party members.

Mr. Mai Phu Hung, Vice Chairman of the Grassroots Trade Union at Yazaki EDS Company, shares his experience in training, introducing, and developing party members within the enterprise.

In addition, the Grassroots trade union must regularly influence and convey messages to enterprise leaders regarding the importance of Party development within enterprises. This will demonstrate to employers the role of the Party organization and Party members in the development and benefits of the enterprise itself, helping enterprises thrive and develop sustainably. A well-functioning Party cell within an enterprise also contributes to promoting production, resolving labor disputes, ensuring security and order, and harmonizing interests.

The Grassroots Trade Union has conducted information, propaganda, and advocacy activities among workers and enterprises through various forms at the grassroots level and in coordination with higher-level Trade Union to organize information sessions on legal knowledge, policies, and orientations of the Party and the State.

Through various activities of the Trade Union organization, the work of fostering, introducing, and developing Party members has achieved encouraging results. In 2021, 10 outstanding union members were introduced to join the Party sympathizer class, and in 2024, 5 comrades were introduced to join the Party.
