Throughout history, Uncle Ho's thoughts, viewpoints and teachings on trade unions and trade union cadres are still valuable guidelines for the development of trade union organizations. They are the guiding principles for solving difficulties arising from practice according to the motto: focusing on the grassroots, performing well the representative function, protecting the legitimate and legal rights of union members, workers, civil servants and laborers.
He noted that in the coming time, trade union organizations at all levels must constantly innovate, improve the quality and efficiency of their operations, arouse and strongly promote the thinking ability and creativity of workers, civil servants and laborers, contributing together with the Party Committee, government and people of all ethnic groups in the province to successfully implement the goals set out in the Resolution of the Provincial Party Congress.
Trade unions at all levels need to continue to care for the lives of workers and the working class according to Resolution 20-NQ/TW of the Party Central Committee on "Continuing to build the Vietnamese working class in the period of accelerating industrialization and modernization of the country" and the Plan to organize a period of activities with the theme: "Nghe An follows Uncle Ho's instructions" to celebrate the 50th anniversary of implementing Uncle Ho's last letter to the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee (July 21, 1969 - July 21, 2019), 50 years of implementing President Ho Chi Minh's Testament (1969 - 2019).

According to the Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, the most important thing is that the trade union organization needs to closely follow the reality to clearly understand the thoughts and aspirations of workers, especially for units facing difficulties in special areas and non-state enterprises.
From there, proactively advise the Party Committee and government to develop policies related to employees, build harmonious, stable and progressive labor relations in enterprises; contribute to promoting production and business development and monitor and inspect the implementation of policies and laws for employees.
From the results of this competition, the trade union organization needs to summarize lessons learned to strengthen its strength and spread good deeds and effective movements in competition activities.
