(Baonghean.vn) - Originating from the emulation movements of labor and production, Nghe An has more and more individuals and groups of workers who are typical in studying and following Uncle Ho. For them, it is a personal need, a motivation to overcome difficulties and successfully carry out assigned tasks.
Nghe An Newspaper had a conversation with comrade Kha Van Tam - Member of the Provincial Party Executive Committee,Chairman of the Provincial Federation of Labor on related issues.
PV: On June 11, 1948, President Ho Chi Minh issued a “Call for Patriotic Emulation”. For him, “Emulation is patriotism, patriotism requires emulation”. So, in your opinion, in today’s modern life, does his call still have its full value?
Comrade Kha Van Tam:During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh paid great attention to the working class and trade unions. Many of his profound teachings and specific instructions on the working class and trade unions still have value today. Therefore, continuing to study, research and implement his contents and thoughts on the working class and trade unions is of great significance in building strong trade union organizations and building a modern, strong working class in the spirit of the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress.
It can be said that the “Call for Patriotic Emulation” has been a torch to urge the fighting spirit and enthusiasm for production in every patriotic Vietnamese citizen. 76 years have passed, it is still the guiding principle for all levels of Trade Unions to effectively implement the tasks set out in each period and each stage.
In Nghe An, studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and lifestyle is a vibrant emulation movement widely implemented by trade unions at all levels.
This is regularly and continuously implemented in conjunction with campaigns, movements and political tasks of the trade union. Notable examples include the emulation movement "Good workers, creative workers"; "75 thousand initiatives to overcome difficulties and develop"; "Each grassroots trade union has a practical project or task" or the program "1 million initiatives, efforts to overcome difficulties, creativity, determination to defeat the COVID-19 pandemic"... These emulation movements have been launched and implemented by trade unions at all levels in conjunction with Directive No. 05/CT-TW of the Politburo "on promoting the study and following of Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and lifestyle".
Having a strong influence, we must mention the program "1 million initiatives, efforts to overcome difficulties, creativity, determination to defeat the Covid-19 pandemic" launched by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor (from January 8, 2022 to August 31, 2023), trade unions at all levels in the province have 42,872 initiatives, of which 20,064 initiatives are valid, reaching more than 133% of the target, ranking 15th nationwide.
According to statistics, from 2018-2023, Nghe An has 92,018 recognized initiatives and solutions in labor and production.
Technical innovation initiatives have the effect of improving machinery, increasing labor productivity, product quality, saving raw materials, reducing product costs, improving the working environment, contributing to hundreds of billions of dong in benefits for agencies, units and businesses.
These important results have contributed to awakening the potential and intelligence of workers, creating a combined strength for agencies and enterprises to stabilize and develop; contributing to the successful implementation of the goals and targets of socio-economic development of the province.
PV: It is known that on the occasion of the 134th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birthday (May 19, 1890 - May 19, 2024), the Provincial Labor Federation organized a program to honor 95 typical "Nghe An workers following Uncle Ho's words" in 2024. Can you share more about this event?
Comrade Kha Van Tam:It can be said that the typical individuals honored this time are typical cores with outstanding achievements in emulation movements and trade union activities. Many of their initiatives are highly adaptable to the new context, promptly meeting production requirements and bringing tens of billions of dong in benefits to the units where they work.
Among the 95 typical examples honored this time, there are 14 workers who are exemplary party members in business units. For example, party member Ho Thanh Binh (born in 1979) - Production Team Leader of Nafoods Group Joint Stock Company had an initiative to improve the efficiency of passion fruit production, saving 6 workers per ton of finished product, improving capacity by more than 40% and significantly reducing electricity consumption. From there, it brought more than 1.7 billion VND in profit each year for the company.
Or party member Ha Van Dung (born in 1977) - Head of the Quality Control Team of Nghe An Agricultural Food and Materials Joint Stock Company had an initiative to improve the fertilizer production conveyor line to help the line operate stably, improve the health of workers and professionalize the production process of the unit. The initiative has benefited the company more than 200 million VND per year. And there are many examples in enterprises, agencies and units that have focused on expertise, increasingly striving to create useful values to serve production and serve people's lives.
They are typical examples, creating influence among workers in enterprises, being factors in completing assigned tasks well in the period of 2019 - 2023, annually achieving the title of "Excellent Union Member"; "Advanced Worker" or higher.
This is the first year that the Provincial Labor Federation has organized a program to honor typical workers who follow Uncle Ho's teachings, but has received enthusiastic response from the grassroots. This is an important activity towards the 134th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birthday (May 19, 1890 - May 19, 2024) and the 76th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's "Call for Patriotic Emulation" (June 11, 1948 - June 11, 2024).
PV: According to you, in the era of Industry 4.0, how important is the role of "Studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and lifestyle"? And how can this movement be suitable to the conditions and practical needs of union members and workers?
Comrade Kha Van Tam:Regardless of the era, "Studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and lifestyle" among union members and workers always plays a particularly important role.
Nghe An has more than 170 thousand union members and hundreds of thousands of workers working in all fields and professions in the province. They are directly or indirectly creating wealth and material for society. If this force deeply understands and does well the work of "Studying and following the ideology, morality and style of Ho Chi Minh", it will have a great impact on the overall results of the entire political and social system, as well as the implementation of the set socio-economic goals and targets.
Entering the stage of modernization and industrialization with many changes in society, in order to spread the "Studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style" among union members and workers in essence, first of all, union officials and union members need to have a deep understanding of Uncle Ho, imbued with his system of viewpoints and ideology towards the working class and the Vietnam Trade Union. Only then can we implement programs and activities creatively and effectively.
The most important thing is still propaganda and learning implementation. In addition to integrating into the activities, important contents need to be widely posted through the social network of the Trade Union organization. To help union members and workers easily access, access and study and implement.
Besides, regularly reporting on typical activities, groups and individuals "Studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and lifestyle" is extremely necessary to create unity in perception and action, raise awareness and responsibility of union members and workers in studying and following Uncle Ho.
The “Studying and following Ho Chi Minh’s ideology, morality and lifestyle” needs to be harmoniously combined, that is, paying attention to effectively implementing emulation movements in labor, production, building a safe working environment while also linking with the Campaign “All people exercise following the example of great Uncle Ho”. From there, create all favorable conditions to encourage and motivate employees and workers to practice culture - arts, physical education - sports to create motivation, working spirit and creativity of workers.
Finally, it is necessary to take Resolution No. 02-NQ/TW, dated June 12, 2021 of the Politburo on "Innovation of organization and operation of Vietnam Trade Union in the new situation", focusing on the core task of representing, caring for, and protecting the legitimate and legal rights of workers. Focusing on the grassroots, listening to the opinions of workers to gradually make "Studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality, and style" an inherent, regular, and continuous need in the new situation.
PV: Thank you for the conversation!
