Lesson 4:
Arouse patriotism and class pride

Understanding the teaching "The work of innovation and construction is the responsibility of the people - The cause of resistance and nation building is the work of the people", Nghe An Trade Union has aroused the sense of responsibility of each worker and laborer towards their homeland and country through creative and appropriate ways.

Light up class pride

Unlike other political organizations, the nature of shift work, assembly lines, and stressful hours of workers and direct laborers requires the Trade Union to be truly creative and dedicated in propaganda and building activities.

On the other hand, many enterprises, especially FDI enterprises, do not have a Party organization. Therefore, the propaganda of the Party's policies and resolutions, the State's laws and policies, and the propaganda and education of love for the homeland require a very important role and responsibility of the trade union organization.

In recent times, identifying the importance of propaganda, education and mobilization work for the building of trade union organizations and activities, the propaganda work of Nghe An province's trade union has had many innovations, models and creative ways of doing things in line with the orientation of propaganda work in the new period, adapting to the trend of modern information and communication and the needs of union members and workers, creating the image and trust of union members and workers in the trade union organization.

In late August, before the September 2nd holiday, images of Nghe An workers “dying red” their factories with national flags were widely shared on forums and social networks. This was an activity initiated by the trade union, with the aim of arousing patriotism and national pride among workers.

At Minh Anh - Kim Lien Garment Joint Stock Company, before August 31, red flags with yellow stars and hammer and sickle flags were hung alternately in all the aisles, all the machines were attached or pasted with small red flags with yellow stars, thousands of workers wearing red flag shirts with yellow stars performed the flag salute ceremony right in the factory. In front of this scene, Ms. Bui Thi Minh - a garment worker in group 1, factory 1 shared: "Responding to the encouragement and mobilization of the company's union, we bought red and yellow flag shirts in advance for this event. I have never worked in such a special atmosphere, I am extremely moved and proud of the Vietnamese people. When I myself am also a "flag" in that "forest of flags", I want to make more efforts to contribute to creating value for the business, contributing to building my homeland".

Also in August, Nghe An workers had another big playground: “Civil servant, civil servant, and laborer Singing Festival”. With the requirement that the participants were workers and direct laborers, the festival organizers created a professional competition with many memorable experiences. There, union members, workers, and laborers truly shone, raising their voices to sing in praise of the country, Uncle Ho, the Trade Union, the working class… and returned to work with pride as part of the Nghe An labor force.

Previously, under the direction of Nghe An Trade Union, tens of thousands of workers across the province also performed the flag-raising ceremony at the beginning of the week, creating extremely impressive moments at agencies and factories. Sports tournaments, Workers’ Day programs, photo contests “Beauty of workers in production labor”… also carried similar meanings and messages.

"Patriotism is competition"

The class strength, patriotism, and national pride of workers and laborers are most clearly demonstrated in emulation movements and creative labor. This is also the spirit for Nghe An Trade Union to overcome difficulties in the coming time.

Mr. Nguyen Chi Cong - Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial Labor Federation affirmed: "Launching emulation movements is to arouse the endogenous strength of union members and workers. Therefore, emulation movements must have a focus, key points and not be formal. At the same time, they must be suitable for reality, associated with the functions and political tasks of the agency or unit".

Patriotic emulation movements in all fields launched by trade unions have been actively participated in and responded to by a large number of union members, civil servants, public employees, and workers, and have achieved many encouraging results. The emulation movement "Good worker, Creative worker" continues to promote its role, affirming the core and consistent values ​​in the emulation movements of trade unions. Thematic emulation movements "Good at public work - Good at housework", "Green, clean, beautiful, ensuring occupational safety and hygiene", "Culture - Sports" are widely deployed.

In the program "75 thousand initiatives to overcome difficulties and develop", Nghe An leads the country in the number of registrants and the number of people submitting initiatives (23,454 initiatives). In the program "1 million initiatives - efforts to overcome difficulties, creativity, determination to defeat the Covid-19 pandemic", Nghe An is also in the top with thousands of initiatives bringing in hundreds of billions of VND in benefits. In the past 4 years, Nghe An has had 127 individuals awarded the Creative Labor Certificate by the General Confederation of Labor; In 2022, 4 individuals were awarded the Nguyen Duc Canh Award by the General Confederation; In 2022-2024, each year, 30 workers with outstanding achievements in labor production were awarded Certificates of Merit by the Provincial People's Committee.

From the emulation movements, many new typical factors, new dynamic, creative, effective and sustainable ways of doing things have emerged. Among the 95 exemplary workers and laborers recognized by the Provincial Labor Federation in 2024, there are 59 individuals with many achievements in the creative labor emulation movement, with many valuable initiatives and experiences that have brought tens of billions of VND in benefits to their units and businesses. They are Mr. Gian Viet Truyen (Asia Joint Stock Company), Ms. Hoang Thi Thanh Binh (Luxshare ICT Company), Ms. Vo Thi Trang (Thai Thuong Hoang Hospital), Mr. Vu Xuan Hieu (Hoa Sen Steel Company Limited), Mr. Hoa Van Tan (Minh Anh Kim Lien Garment Company)...

In the Nghe An trade union system, the emulation movement "Innovation, creativity, efficiency in trade union activities" was launched to create practical motivation to promote the intelligence, creativity and enthusiasm of trade union officials. From here, many typical advanced examples, actively participating in grassroots trade union activities, passionate about their profession, responsible for assigned work and constantly creating activities were honored.

The trend of globalization and international integration, the 4th industrial revolution is both an opportunity and a challenge, posing many advantages for our country in general and Nghe An in particular, but also many difficulties. Along with the great efforts of the province in attracting investment, projects continue to expand business and many key projects begin to operate, attracting a large workforce, leading to increasingly complicated labor relations. In enterprises, especially newly established enterprises, the representativeness of grassroots unions for workers is not high, union officials often hold concurrent positions, so the time and voice of union officials are dependent. On the foundation of what has been built, Nghe An Trade Union will have to make further efforts to strengthen its role in representing, caring for and protecting workers. At the same time, affirming the position of an important political organization in the political apparatus.

Guiding power from Resolution 02

Sharing about the results achieved in recent times, Mr. Kha Van Tam - Member of the Provincial Party Executive Committee, Chairman of the Provincial Labor Federation said: "In addition to applying the timeless valuable mass mobilization lessons of President Ho Chi Minh, the above results are also a strong transformation since the implementation of Resolution 02 of the Politburo on "Innovation of organization and operation of Vietnam Trade Union in the new situation". This is a solid political foundation for innovation of organization and operation of trade unions, meeting the requirements of the new situation. In the spirit of Resolution 02, Nghe An trade unions at all levels have been inspired to overcome all difficulties, comprehensively deploy with focus, key points, strongly focus on the grassroots, expand and invest more in the non-state enterprise sector".

Accordingly, right after Resolution 02 was issued, Nghe An Trade Union was the first unit in the country to organize the online contest "Nghe An Provincial Trade Union Officials Learn about Resolution 02-NQ/TW", attracting nearly 50,000 officials, union members, workers and laborers to participate. Resolution 02 has been imbued into every facility and every union official.

According to Mr. Kha Van Tam, the suggestions of the Resolution can be flexibly applied to all practical situations, creating the premise for building an organization representing workers and taking care of workers. This includes strengthening the Party's direction, seeking support from government committees, making efforts to develop union members, innovating activities, improving the capacity of union officials and workers' awareness, coordinating with departments, branches, and other political and social organizations... When implementing activities, the union system has thoroughly, seriously, systematically, and promptly grasped the recommendations from all levels of government and from Nghe An Trade Union, so the work of advising, directing, and propagating the implementation of the Resolution has been effective. After a series of training programs and improving professional skills, the team of union officials has been comprehensively "upgraded". Resolution 02 has "led the way" for trade unions at all levels to change their thinking, innovate their activities, and create breakthroughs in the new situation.

“Nghe An Trade Union is very fortunate that the implementation of the Resolution has received the attention and regular direction of the Provincial Party Committee and Party Committees at all levels. At the same time, it is impossible not to mention the coordination and support of agencies, departments, branches and organizations, helping the implementation of activities to take place more smoothly, on a larger scale, spread and be more effective,” Mr. Kha Van Tam added.

On the basis of the mass mobilization lessons that President Ho Chi Minh instructed and closely following the spirit of innovation of Resolution 02, Nghe An Trade Union has promoted the strength and potential of union members and workers to the fullest extent, contributing significantly to the achievements of socio-economy, science and technology, affirming the role and position of Vietnam Trade Union in the new situation.
