Ms. Xuan called on trade unions at all levels to modernise operating methods, draw on international experience, and strengthen their role as a constructive partner for employers, particularly in the private and foreign-invested sectors.
She also urged the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour to expand training and support programmes for union officials, helping them better perform their representative and advocacy functions in enterprises.
“In the new era, it is necessary to reform the methods and approaches of trade unions. This means continuously improving qualifications, capacity, knowledge, and essential skills, especially the crucial skills of dialogue and collective bargaining. It is important to firmly grasp the Party’s and State’s policies and laws, understand the country’s economic development context, including economic restructuring, green transition, and digital transformation. It is also necessary to understand the operations of the enterprises, what their goals are and their development orientations. Only then can we have effective dialogue,” said Ms. Xuan.
