In just 3 days (from October 4-6), the Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control of Dien Chau District, together with the District Labor Federation, coordinated to organize a mass Covid-19 vaccination program for nearly 12,000 workers at companies and enterprises located in the district. The program received a warm welcome from all participating units due to its determination, thoughtfulness and carefulness in organization.

Similarly, in many localities with many enterprises such as Nghia Dan, Thanh Chuong, Do Luong..., the trade union also has a great influence in accelerating the progress of Covid-19 vaccination for workers and laborers. Mr. Le Dinh Tho - Chairman of the Thanh Chuong District Labor Federation said: "As a trade union official, also a member of the District's Steering Committee for Epidemic Prevention and Control, in the process of organizing vaccination for workers, we tried to arrange to ensure that the vaccination schedule did not greatly affect business and production progress and save costs for businesses".

Before and after the epidemic,labor recruitment problemis also one of the difficulties of many enterprises, especially FDI units with large investment capital and high labor demand. In its connecting role, Nghe An Trade Union has quickly started to solve the problem of supply and demand between repatriated workers from other provinces and cities and enterprises in the area. "We have directly surveyed the recruitment needs of each enterprise, collected data and provided it to the people and workers through forms such as commune radio, posting notices, zalo groups..." - Mr. Pham Duc Cuong - Chairman of Dien Chau District Labor Federation shared.

Currently, the Nghe An Provincial Federation of Labor has compiled the number of workers needed to be recruited, job requirements, and business lines of enterprises across the province, and the Cua Lo Town Federation of Labor has posted this information at concentrated quarantine points with many repatriated workers in the town. "Because the union is an organization of workers and has the opportunity to interact with many types of workers, when the union organization stands up to support, enterprises will have a higher chance of recruiting" - Chairman of the Haivina Kim Lien Company Limited Union (Nam Dan) shared.

FROM SINCERENESS TO UNDERSTANDING

Visited and presented with gifts by the leaders of the Provincial Federation of Labor on the occasion of Vietnam Entrepreneurs' Day (October 13), Mr. Kim Hyung Joo - General Director of Havina Kim Lien Co., Ltd. (Nam Dan) could not hide his joy and pride. He said: "During the recent epidemic, we had a really difficult time. But fortunately, our company has received a lot of support from trade unions at all levels in stabilizing production, preventing and fighting the epidemic as well as taking care of workers. I am truly grateful for this. That is the most valuable gift we have received from you."

Mr. Kim Hyung Joo's sharing is also shared by Akihiko Rakusui - Deputy Director in charge of MLB Tenergy Co., Ltd. (Yen Thanh), Ms. Cho Me Yong - Production Director of Kido Vinh Co., Ltd. (Do Luong)... and many other business leaders. For them, the union is not only about taking care of and protecting the rights and interests of workers, not only about resolving strikes... The union has been a great friend with many common concerns and always accompanies businesses.

In localities, the connection and companionship between the Labor Federations of districts, cities and towns with local enterprises are even closer. In Thanh Chuong district, the District Labor Federation regularly visits and helps even enterprises without a trade union organization. Mr. Le Dinh Tho shared: “To me, enterprises and trade unions are one family, with equal status with common members who are workers and laborers. I am willing to help them with things within my ability sincerely and never ask them to help me in return. For enterprises that do not understand the role of trade unions, that help and companionship must be even more selfless and responsible.”

From visits, consulting on resolving labor relations problems, guiding on paperwork procedures..., the union officials of Thanh Chuong District Labor Federation gradually gained the trust of businesses. Many businesses therefore voluntarily joined the union organization, proactively paid union fees without persuasion. In the recent 2nd Congress of the Association of Small and Medium Enterprises in Thanh Chuong District, the Chairman of the District Labor Federation was elected as a member of the Executive Committee and Secretary of the association. This trust helps union officials have the opportunity to get closer to businesses, easily grasp the situation and implement activities to care for workers.

Sharing about the relationship between enterprises and trade unions, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Ha - Quality System Specialist and President of the Trade Union of Minh Anh Kim Lien Garment Joint Stock Company (Dong Nam Economic Zone) emphasized: "A business that cares about and connects with the trade union organization will gain many benefits. First of all,workerbetter care; from there, the working spirit of workers is more enthusiastic, productivity is higher; the company's brand image in the eyes of workers and people is also better...".
