HÀ NỘI — Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính on Sunday asked for more efforts to further improve the quality and effectiveness of coordination between the Government and the Việt Nam General Confederation of Labour (VGCL) for a strong and modern working class.

Addressing a conference evaluating the results of implementing the statute on the working relationship between the government and the VGCL, PM Chính requested the organisation to listen to and grasp the thoughts and aspirations of the working class and promptly reflect them to the Party, government, and businesses to promptly find solutions.

It is also essential to continue the focus on protecting the legitimate rights and interests of labourers in accordance with the Constitution, laws and the Party's guidelines and policies, and at the same time, strengthen inspections to promptly detect and recommend strict handling of any violations, he stressed.

Accordingly, the Government leader required the promotion of researching, developing and perfecting labour-related laws, mechanisms and policies, and the dissemination of the Party's guidelines and resolutions, and the State's policies and laws to union members and workers.

He also emphasised the effective organisation and implementation of emulation movements; the building and development of a modern and strong working class to meet the country's development requirements in the new era, including improving labour productivity; and enhancing the role of trade unions, which is an important bridge between the Party and the state with the working class and Vietnamese workers.

Trade unions at all levels need to strictly manage public financing and assets, including the effective exploitation of trade unions’ accommodation and resort facilities, under the leadership of the Party, and the management of the Constitution and laws, the PM said.

He also noted that the increasingly close-knit, quality and effective coordination between the government and the VGCL has contributed positively to the overall success of the country. — VNS
