Comrade Le Hong Vinh also affirmed: At present, the role of trade unions is very important, especially when workers are tending to move to industrial zones, along with the thoughts, lives and activities of workers.

To do this well, in the coming time, the Provincial Federation of Labor needs to fully assess the role and status of trade union activities from the province to the grassroots level. On that basis, find out the difficulties and shortcomings to find solutions to overcome them. For example, currently, there are more than 10,000 enterprises in the province. However, the number of enterprises with trade unions is not much and the trade union force must study to propose binding mechanisms to increase the responsibility of enterprises when operating in the area.

The Trade Union must also be the leading unit in inspecting and supervising the implementation of policies in organizations and enterprises.

In the coming time, it is also necessary to invest in building kindergartens and housing for industrial zones. However, it is necessary to enhance the responsibility of enterprises in the implementation process and have consistent calculations to suit actual usage needs.

Regarding the opinions of relevant departments and branches, he also requested that they be synthesized for consideration in the coming time. Regarding the issues proposed by the Provincial Federation of Labor, Permanent Vice Chairman Le Hong Vinh suggested that the Federation should prepare a report to send to relevant departments and branches. In addition, in 2021, implementation activities such as the Tet Sum Vay program... need to be innovated to create a widespread movement. The implementation of other programs such as dialogue and propaganda on labor policies also needs to be implemented flexibly and effectively, focusing on new and practical issues, close to the aspirations of workers...

During the implementation process, any inappropriate issues must be promptly reported and recommended to the province and the central government for solutions. In the immediate future, it is necessary to prepare documents and related documents to work with the Provincial General Confederation of Labor on the issue of building an institutional area for workers in the Bac Vinh Industrial Park.
