The meeting reviewed the implementation of trade union activities in 2013 and discussed how to effectively perform the sector’s tasks in 2014.
Participants heard and gave comments on the VGCL’s resolution on improving the cultural and spiritual life of labourers working in industrial parks and export processing zones.
Speaking at the event, VFF President Nguyen Thien Nhan praised the efforts made by trade unions nationwide and the achievements in their work.
He said the VFF would petition the Government to issue a strategy for implementing the campaign “Vietnamese prioritise made-in-Vietnam goods” between now and 2020, and asked trade unions nationwide to respond supportively to the campaign.
Nhan also asked the VGCL to listen carefully to the desires and aspirations of workers, and to provide timely commendations to outstanding individuals and organisations.
He also urged the trade unions to increase supervision of the implementation of planning on housing for labourers, especially those in industrials parks in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai and Binh Duong.
In 2013, the VGCL worked closely with relevant agencies to advise the Government on the Resolution on detailed regulations of financial issues in trade unions.
The unions have also worked hard to take care of labourers and protect their legitimate rights and interests, creating confidence in the trade unions among the workforce.
