Creating a harmonious labor relationship

As one of the businesses that perform the democratic regulations well every year, Tokin Electronics Vietnam Co., Ltd (Bien Hoa City) always actively dialogues with employees to understand and improve policies. working conditions for workers. At the enterprise's employee conference held at the end of December 2022, many opinions of employees were answered in detail and specific by the leaders of enterprises, trade unions and related departments, gaining the trust of employees. In addition, enterprises inform the production situation so that employees can grasp, understand and stick with the enterprise and improve their production skills and create quality products.

Ms. Le Thi Mai, a worker at the enterprise, said that for nearly 8 years with the company, every year she can attend the employee conference organized by the company. When participating in the conference, she knew the production plan of the enterprise, the orders for the year to work with peace of mind. In addition, knowing more about the benefits that employees are entitled to such as child support, travel, reward for diligence, etc. “

I am very satisfied with the listening of business leaders when workers have ideas. In particular, also from the actual opinions of employees, many benefits related to workers have been improved, contributing to improving employees' lives. The company is also interested in arranging a milking room, storing milk for female employees, and organizing caring activities so that employees can feel secure to stick with the business, "- Ms. Mai confided.

Similarly, every year, in January, Yuen Foong Yu Dong Nai Paper Co., Ltd (Long Thanh) cooperates with the grassroots Trade Union to organize an employee conference to announce the company's production results. company to all employees. In addition, enterprises also announce the regimes and policies related to employees and new benefits, if any. Enterprise leaders are also willing to answer employees' suggestions in the spirit of listening, democracy and understanding. Thanks to that, for many years now, the labor relations here have been assessed as stable and harmonious.

Mr. Do Nguyen Phuong, Chairman of the company's trade union, said that business leaders not only create favorable conditions for the trade union to operate effectively but also listen to the opinions of employees.
In particular, at the employee conference, workers are free to make suggestions about the regimes, working environment, shift meals, etc., and are recognized and answered promptly by business leaders, bringing satisfaction to workers.

“The implementation of democratic regulations at work, if serious, methodical and well-intentioned, will bring many benefits in stabilizing production. Therefore, listening to employees is also a way for enterprises and trade unions to innovate activities, improve welfare and create trust in long-term labor relations, "- Mr. Phuong shared.

In some enterprises with a large number of employees, not only focusing on organizing employee conferences but also periodically having dialogues with employees. Thereby, the inadequacies and conflicts were quickly resolved and the labor relationship improved. According to Mr. Le Nhat Truong, Chairman of the Trade Union of Pousung Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Trang Bom district), as an enterprise with a large concentration of workers, before the enterprise organizes the workers' conference, the managers of the workshops gather the opinions of the employees. employees and transferred to the company for full synthesis. During the conference, in addition to answering questions from workers asking direct questions, relevant departments will clearly answer the above-sumed comments. Thanks to that, employees always agree with the policies of the company and the Union.

There are still limitations

Besides the enterprises that do well at the grassroots democratic regulations, there are still apathetic enterprises, focusing only on production, not attaching importance to the recommendations, concerns, thoughts and aspirations of employees. Many enterprises are not fully aware of the meaning and importance of implementing democratic regulations at the grassroots level; did not pay attention to the process of organizing employee conferences. In addition, do not focus on organizing dialogue in the workplace or the organization is still formal and coping. Some enterprises also assign the trade union to perform, while the active role belongs to enterprises.

During the inspection of the implementation of the labor law by the inter-provincial inspection team in 2022, it was found that many enterprises in the process of implementing the democratic regulations deliberately failed to comply, giving many reasons to evade such as: Due to production characteristics, it is not possible to gather workers for dialogue or due to production to keep up with orders, lack of orders, production difficulties, epidemics... Even, some enterprises are not interested in organizing Dialogue with employees has caused difficulties for trade unions in advising and proposing implementation of grassroots CDC.

Many contents and production activities that enterprises must make public for employees to know, consult, inspect and supervise are still general, not specific and suitable to the actual situation of production and business of enterprises. While according to regulations, enterprises must disclose to employees such contents as: production and business situation, labor rules, salary scale, salary table; regulations and documents related to the rights, obligations and responsibilities of employees; collective labor agreements and the deduction and payment of social insurance, health insurance, unemployment insurance ...

According to cadres of trade unions, in order for the implementation of quality control at enterprises according to the provisions of law, to bring about a harmonious, stable and progressive labor relationship, specific and synchronous solutions are needed. The upper-level trade union needs to promote propaganda and raise awareness of employers and employees about the role, meaning and importance of implementing democratic regulations at the grassroots level. Focus on guiding establishments that have not performed well and replicate good and effective models to units. Since then, contributing to improving the efficiency of democratic regulations at enterprises.

For employees, it is expected that the Trade Union will actively coordinate with agencies to strengthen inspection and supervision of the implementation of democracy in the workplace, especially the regime directly related to the interests of employees. .

Worker Tran Van Hai (from Hanoi) working at an enterprise in Bien Hoa 2 Industrial Park confided that many employees who have been with the company for a long time still do not know the face of the business owner or have not been met or cared for. They only work with team leaders and managers, so many recommendations have not been reached by business leaders. Therefore, policies and interests are still disadvantaged.

At a recent meeting with the Provincial Labor Union Party, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation Quan Minh Cuong suggested that trade unions at all levels strengthen supervision of the implementation of the democratic regulations in enterprises, creating harmony and stability in labor relations. Trade unions need to regularly grasp the employment situation, life as well as the thoughts and aspirations of employees. Timely detect and solve pressing problems, difficulties and obstacles in the implementation of regimes and policies related to the legitimate and legitimate rights and interests of employees. Actively advise on policies to take care of the life and well-being of employees and organize sustainable production.
