Pioneer in creative labor

Not only standing out in Workers' Month, Nghia Dan District Labor Federation is also evaluated by the Provincial Labor Federation as a leading unit in the movement of good and creative workers.

In large enterprises, there is often interest and investment in improving technology - this is also an advantage of the Nghia Dan District Labor Federation. However, the difficulty of the District Labor Federation is that the majority of workers are not really interested in making commendation proposal documents, although the District Labor Federation regularly urges and guides. Explaining this, Ms. Nguyen Thi Quynh Trang - Vice President of the Labor Union of Nghia Dan district said: "Some employees are afraid of wasting time, some direct employees only focus on practicing skills, improving expertise but are not proficient in drafting and accessing documents, so they encounter difficulties in the process of completing documents to submit for awards according to regulations. In addition, some business leaders and department heads are also worried about revealing the unit's invention secrets, some initiatives are the efforts and dedication of the entire department, but according to regulations, only the individual with the highest contribution rate is rewarded, causing difficulties and hindering the right rewards for the right subjects".

The District Labor Federation also regularly informs, exchanges, and proposes to business leaders to create conditions for workers to quickly apply and access technology, and boldly try new scientific and technical innovations...
