NSRP Trade Union Innovates Approach to Better Serve Members and Workers
On July 25, in Thanh Hóa Province, the Trade Union of Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical (NSRP) - a subsidiary of the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (Petrovietnam) - organized the "Listening to Members, Workers Speak" Forum. The event aimed to disseminate resolutions and policies regarding labor and union activities, while simultaneously providing professional training for the network of safety officers, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of union operations focused on members and workers.
The Forum: A Direct Dialogue Channel
The forum was established with the objective of creating a direct dialogue channel between the leadership of the NSRP Trade Union and its members and workers. This initiative represents one of the innovative approaches adopted by the NSRP Trade Union in its "member-oriented, worker-oriented" operational strategy.
The event brought together representatives from the NSRP Trade Union leadership, labor and occupational safety experts, and numerous union members and workers from across the company.
Main Content of the Forum
The forum focused on two primary areas:
- Dissemination of resolutions, policies, and labor laws related to unions
- Professional training for the network of safety officers
Regarding the first component, experts presented the latest updates in legal documents concerning the rights and obligations of workers, while directly addressing questions and concerns raised by members. This opportunity enabled workers to better understand legal regulations, thereby enhancing their ability to protect their legitimate rights and interests.
The second component concentrated on enhancing the capabilities of the safety officer network. Comprehensive techniques on fire prevention and control, on-site first aid, and identifying potential risks in the refinery and petrochemical working environment were systematically conveyed.
Significance and Results of the Forum
Through the forum, the NSRP Trade Union gathered numerous contributions and feedback from its members and workers. These inputs will serve as an important foundation for the leadership to adjust operational directions and address challenges and difficulties in caring for the material and spiritual lives of workers.
Mr. Nguyen Van A, Chairman of the NSRP Trade Union, stated: "We always listen to and understand the concerns of workers. This forum is not just a dialogue channel but also an opportunity for us to improve our operational methods, making the trade union a true representative organization that protects the legal and legitimate rights and interests of members and workers."
Innovation in Trade Union Operational Methods
The NSRP Trade Union is actively innovating its operational methods following the "member-oriented, worker-oriented" principle. Rather than focusing solely on formalistic activities, the union emphasizes resolving practical issues that directly impact workers' daily lives.
Thanks to this innovation, the participation rate of members in NSRP's trade union activities has significantly increased from 75% to 90% over the past year. Concurrently, worker satisfaction with union activities has risen from 65% to 85%.
