2025-03-12
We should make good use of the rule of law thinking and methods to promote trade union work, and use the rule of law to guarantee and promote harmonious labor relations. In recent days, many representatives and members have focused on promoting the implementation of the Trade Union Law and provided suggestions. When it comes to trade union organizations, Li Shulin, the chairman of the trade union and the head of the machine maintenance team at Sichuan Tongwang Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Group Co., Ltd., shared with reporters the experience of the standardized development of the company's trade union in recent years: the trade union has established a sound organization and has sincerely done a lot of practical things for employees, which has greatly increased its cohesion. "For example, organizing employees to carry out rational suggestions every year can collect many 'golden ideas' and reduce costs and increase efficiency, which has impressed the administrative side of the enterprise." The legalization of trade union work is a concrete manifestation of the Party's strategy of governing the country by law in trade union work, and it is also the only way to achieve high-quality development of trade union work. While praising the work of the trade union, several representatives and committee members suggested strengthening participation from the source, promoting the improvement of the labor laws and regulations system, especially increasing the implementation of the trade union law, and continuously improving the level of rule of law in trade union work. In June 1950, less than a year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Trade Union Law was promulgated and implemented, which clearly defined the legal status and responsibilities of trade unions in the country. In April 1992, the Fifth Session of the Seventh National People's Congress passed the current Trade Union Law, which was amended in 2001, 2009 and 2021. The Trade Union Law and the Constitution of Chinese Trade Unions stipulate major issues such as the nature, functions, and organizational principles of Chinese trade unions, as well as basic guidelines for handling internal affairs of trade unions, laying a legal foundation for the development of trade union work. However, there are still some problems and difficulties in the implementation of the current Trade Union Law. Meng Xiangzhong, the team leader of the Aircraft Bonus Factory of China Aviation Industry New Airlines Group, found that some enterprises do not attach enough importance to union work, and even do not support union work. Some enterprises have inadequate union organizational systems, inadequate implementation of democratic management regulations, and insufficient channels for legal rights protection and service, all of which have to some extent affected the role of unions. Member Pi Jianlong, Director of Beijing Jintai Law Firm, noticed that the coverage rate of trade unions in social organizations is not high, and some institutions are unwilling to establish trade unions on the grounds of "small scale" and "project based employment". Member Pi Jianlong suggested that institutional design should be improved, rigid constraints should be strengthened, and social organizations should be promoted to establish trade unions. Feng Hongchang, the chairman of the trade union of Xiamen Container Terminal Group Co., Ltd., gave special attention to the implementation of the Trade Union Law. He listed several tasks that he intends to promote as a deputy to the National People's Congress this year, one of which is to strive to promote the implementation of the Trade Union Law. Huang Guisong, the chairman of the trade union of Shantou Ultrasonic Electronics (Group) Co., Ltd., was deeply impressed by the "trade union relay stations" set up by the trade union on the streets and alleys of the city. "Seeing many delivery riders and sanitation workers resting inside, I feel that the trade union organization has done a real good thing. I hope that the party committees and governments at all levels will increase their support for the work of the trade union, and I also hope that trade unions at all levels will take the initiative to make more workers feel the warmth of the 'mother's family'." "The Trade Union Law is not only a law related to trade union work, but also a law related to the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of the majority of workers." Huang Jiusheng, the part-time vice chairman of the Henan Provincial Federation of Trade Unions, believes that promoting the implementation of the Trade Union Law will help improve the trade union's ability to. According to statistics, by the end of 2024, 19 provinces have completed the revision of local regulations implementing the Trade Union Law, and 14 provinces have issued regulations on labor law supervision for trade unions. We must adhere to the establishment, management, performance, and rights protection of the association in accordance with the law, and promote all work on the track of the rule of law Representatives and members from the trade union system believe that it is necessary to continuously deepen the construction of the rule of law in trade union work, further strengthen the legal awareness of relevant departments, various enterprises, and all sectors of society, and better promote the implementation of trade union laws.
