At the event, he highlighted the VGCL’s strong development with breakthroughs in both organisation and operation, along with the expansion of the working class in the nation and improvement in quality over years.

The NA leader emphasised that the acceleration of industrialisation and modernisation as well as deep international integration presents the trade union with both opportunities and challenges, so enterprises and workers should make continous efforts to enhance their labour productivity, management capacity, and competitiveness. He added that the VGCL must also come up for strong and comprehensive reform to comply to commitments in labour in new-generation free trade agreements, and at the same time affirming its key role in building a modern and strong working class. 


He went on to ask trade unions at all levels to continue effectively implementing the resolution adopted at the 13th Party Congress and one of the Politburo on renewing the organisation and operation of the VGCL in the new situation as well as relevant policies and guidelines of the Party and State.

The VGCL, he said, must carry out social supervision and criticism, contribute opinions to building the Party and administration at all levels, asking the trade union to keep close tabs on workers’ jobs, incomes, and aspiration in order to build suitable

programmes and working plans, and make recommendations to the Party and State regarding issues related to workers and trade unions' matters.

Furthermore, it is a must to improve the political mettle and professionalism of the VGCL’s members and workers, he stressed.

NA Chairman Man requested trade unions at all levels to contribute to the preparation work of the 14th National Party Congress, effectively popularise the NA’s laws and resolutions, including those related to workers, and implement regulations on wage reform in a timely manner, among others.

On behalf of the Party and State, the NA leader presented the first-class Labour Order to the VGCL, recognising its excellent achievements over the past five years.

At the ceremony, 10 outstanding trade unionists were presented with the Nguyen Van Linh Awards, and 95 leaders of grassroots trade unions received commendations./.
