Xu Liuping will make a comprehensive report to the Executive Committee on the work summary and work arrangement for 2023 and 2024. Now, let me make a few comments.
First, adhere to the Party's overall leadership over trade union work
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), in the face of an extremely severe and complex external environment and an extremely arduous task of domestic reform, development and stability, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has united and led the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups in the country to forge ahead and overcome difficulties, and has promoted the party and national affairs to achieve great achievements that have attracted worldwide attention, The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process. At the same time, we should also be aware that on the new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, we still face many risks and challenges. The whole party and the whole country must unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, think about one thing, work hard to make one thing happen, gather the overwhelming force, and overcome the difficulties and obstacles on the way forward, We will work tirelessly to build a strong country and revitalize the nation. As a working class mass organization under the leadership of the Party, the trade union is also a political organization. It must take a clear stand in politics, always adhere to the leadership of the Party as the highest political principle and fundamental political requirement, deeply understand the decisive significance of the "two establishment", constantly strengthen the "four consciousness", firm the "four self-confidence", and achieve the "two maintenance", Always maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core in ideology, politics and action.

Second, adhere to Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era
Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is an action guide for building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation, and a guiding ideology that the Party and the country must adhere to for a long time. General Secretary Xi Jinping's important statement on the work of the working class and trade unions is an important part of Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, which points out the direction of the Party's labor movement cause and trade union work in the new era and provides fundamental guidance. All trade unions at all levels must unremittingly strengthen theoretical armed forces, always adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and take the study of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition on the work of the working class and trade unions as the primary content of the study of the theoretical learning center group of the Party Leadership Group, As a required course for training trade union cadres at all levels, we should deeply grasp its scientific system, core essence and practical requirements, and maintain political firmness with theoretical sobriety. It is necessary to strengthen the ideological and political guidance of the staff and workers, earnestly promote the important ideas and discourses to enter the enterprises, workshops, teams and groups, get close to the staff and workers, enter the hearts of the staff and workers, constantly strengthen the political identity, ideological identity, theoretical identity, emotional identity of the broad masses of staff and workers, unswervingly listen to the Party's words, follow the Party, and build the class foundation and mass foundation of the Party's long-term governance.
Third, give full play to the role of workers as the main force in promoting Chinese style modernization
The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has mapped out a grand blueprint for promoting the construction of a powerful country and national rejuvenation with Chinese style modernization, and further defined the central task of focusing on economic construction and the primary task of high-quality development. To turn the beautiful blueprint into reality, it is necessary to mobilize the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of hundreds of millions of staff officers to start their own businesses, and give full play to the role of the main force in the new journey. We should focus on major national strategies, major projects, major projects and key industries, and extensively, deeply and persistently carry out various forms of labor and skill competitions. According to the characteristics of different industries and enterprises, organize and carry out various competitions with different characteristics to further expand coverage and improve influence. We should improve the incentive mechanism for employees to participate in competitions, combine the development of competitions with the organization of employees to participate in mass innovation and creation activities such as technical innovation, technical cooperation, invention and creation, rationalization proposals, online military training, and the "five small", establish and improve the mechanism for employees to share innovative achievements, so that employees can make contributions, grow their talents, and benefit from competitions. We should vigorously promote the spirit of model workers, workers and craftsmen. We will increase tree selection publicity for "great country craftsmen" and "the most beautiful workers", and extensively carry out publicity and education on the theme of "China Dream · Labor Beauty", so that the whole society can better understand and respect model workers, and more respect labor and workers. We should give play to the exemplary role of model workers and craftsmen, further deepen the creation of innovation studios for model workers and craftsmen, implement the project of cultivating large country craftsmen, make full use of carriers such as the innovation exchange conference of large country craftsmen and the forum of large country craftsmen, build a platform for large country craftsmen and highly skilled talents to inherit spirit, exchange skills, and display results, and comprehensively implement the "model workers to help enterprises" Special actions to actively help enterprises solve technical problems, improve innovation ability and improve management level. We should care about model workers and highly skilled talents, promote the implementation of model workers' treatment, improve the status of model workers, help them solve their difficulties in a timely manner, and continue to do a good job of model workers' recuperation, learning and further education, so that the majority of model workers can enhance their sense of honor and pride, and promote the formation of labor glory, valuable skills Create a strong atmosphere of greatness.
Fourth, promote the reform of industrial worker team construction to develop in depth
To realize Chinese style modernization, we need not only a large number of entrepreneurs, scientists, engineers and technicians, but also a large contingent of knowledge-based, skilled and innovative industrial workers. General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the reform of the construction of industrial workers, and personally plans, deploys and promotes this reform. In April 2017, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the Reform Plan for the Construction of Industrial Workers in the New Era. Over the past six years, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, important phased achievements have been made. Next, it is necessary to further strengthen the typical guidance, strengthen the summary, promotion and application of the reform achievements, actively promote the introduction and implementation of the opinions on deepening the reform of industrial workers' team building, make every effort to do a good job in the legislative work related to industrial workers' team building, and promote the mature experience and practices formed by the reform to become a legal system, We will ensure that the reform of the construction of industrial workers continues on the track of rule of law. We should continue to implement key tasks such as ideological guidance, making contributions, quality improvement, status improvement, and team expansion of industrial workers. On the basis of preliminary work, we should adhere to the problem orientation, work hard to overcome difficulties, find out the outstanding problems that affect the effectiveness of reform, improve the skill formation system, expand career development channels, and safeguard the rights and interests of industrial workers We will make greater efforts to improve the treatment of industrial workers, concentrate on promoting solutions, and strive to achieve greater results in breaking through reform problems. It is necessary to strengthen organizational leadership, coordinate strength and resources, improve and improve the leadership working mechanism, evaluation and assessment mechanism, training and exchange mechanism, and industrial trade union role playing mechanism, promote reform to go deeper and more practical, strive to build a large army of high-quality industrial workers, and provide solid talent and skills support for promoting Chinese modernization.
Fifth, do a solid job in trade union rights protection services
It is the basic duty of trade unions to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of workers and wholeheartedly serve the masses of workers, and it is the inevitable requirement for trade unions to practice the purpose of the Party. To do a good job of rights protection service seriously, we should focus on the big picture, start from the small, start from the little bit, and help the workers and the masses to solve their problems with heart and feelings. Only in this way can we truly send the care of the Party and the government to the hearts of the workers and the masses, and can we firmly unite the workers and the masses around the Party, unswervingly listen to the Party's words and follow the Party. We should always adhere to the work orientation of taking staff as the center, and constantly improve the "inclusive+special" rights protection service system. Efforts should be made to safeguard the labor and economic rights and interests of employees, and work should be intensified to address the labor employment, income distribution, skill training, social security, safety and health issues that are generally concerned by employees, and actively promote the government, enterprises and relevant parties to properly solve them. We should strengthen democratic management of enterprises, improve the democratic management system of enterprises and public institutions in the basic form of workers' congresses, guide enterprises to carry out collective wage negotiations according to law, promote the improvement of the social security system, improve the labor protection supervision mechanism of trade unions, and further improve the ownership of workers and staff groups. It is necessary to adapt to the requirements of the times and the needs of employees. While continuing to do a good job in traditional services such as sending warmth, cooling, golden autumn student aid, mutual medical assistance for employees, trade union legal aid and so on, it is necessary to launch more, better and more timely service projects for employees. We should focus on protecting the rights of migrant workers, workers in new forms of employment, women workers and other key groups, actively promote the settlement of arrears in migrant workers' wages, and do a good job in safeguarding the special rights and interests of women workers; We will actively participate in the formulation of policies to standardize the employment of workers in new forms of employment, promote the establishment and improvement of policies and regulations for protecting the rights and interests of workers in new forms of employment, and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests from the system and source. We should continue to strengthen the construction of labor union post stations, continue to consolidate and expand the achievements of the Double 15 Project, mobilize resources from all aspects to build more labor union post stations, provide more accessible and convenient services for outdoor workers, and especially make greater efforts to improve the effectiveness of services. On this basis, we will continue to strengthen the construction of various employee service positions, and make good use of the workers' cultural palace, staff library, workers' nursing home, service center, etc. The 12351 trade union service hotline for employees should be well managed and used, and efforts should be made to build the hotline into an important window and platform to reflect the interests of employees, provide clues to the risks and hidden dangers of labor relations conflicts, and promote the solution of employees' actual difficulties. It is necessary to consolidate and expand the achievements of urban difficult workers in solving difficulties, promote the effective connection between solving difficulties and improving the quality of life of workers, sincerely care for urban difficult workers, improve the dynamic monitoring mechanism to prevent the return of difficulties, timely identify problems and effectively promote the solution, and firmly hold the bottom line of no large-scale return of difficulties.
Sixth, continue to promote the legalization of trade union work
The legalization of trade union work is the concrete embodiment of the Party's strategy of governing the country according to law in trade union work, and is also the only way to achieve high-quality development of trade union work. At present, there are more potential contradictions in the labor field, and building a harmonious labor relationship faces many challenges. The more complex the situation in the labor field is and the more arduous the task is, the more it is necessary to use the rule of law thinking and the rule of law way to think about and deal with problems, and the more it is necessary to play the important role of the rule of law in consolidating the foundation, stabilizing expectations, and benefiting the long-term. There are many favorable conditions for promoting the legalization of trade union work, especially the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, the continuous promotion of the overall strategy of governing the country according to law, and the strong support from all aspects. Trade unions at all levels should seize the precious opportunity, put the legalization of trade union work in a more prominent position, be good at using the rule of law thinking and the rule of law way to carry out work, and promote harmonious labor relations and social fairness and justice with the protection of the rule of law. We should strengthen the source participation, promote the improvement of the labor laws and regulations system, promote the implementation of the trade union law, participate in the legislative work on the construction of the industrial workforce, and promote the formulation of laws, regulations and policies in other fields involving the rights and interests of workers. It is necessary to establish and improve the cooperation and cooperation mechanism with the NPC law enforcement inspection, administrative law enforcement and other mechanisms, promote and improve the legal supervision system involving workers and trade union work, take the "one letter and two letters" of the trade union as the starting point, promote and strengthen the implementation of laws and regulations in the labor field, and earnestly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of workers. We need to improve the tripartite mechanism for coordinating labor relations, improve the system of joint meetings between trade unions and governments at the same level, take promoting the construction of harmonious labor relations as an important issue, promote the solution of prominent problems affecting the harmony of labor relations, and fundamentally eliminate the soil and source of labor relations conflicts. We should participate in the diversified settlement of labor disputes in accordance with the law, explore and summarize the "Maple Bridge experience" in the labor field in the new era, promote the construction of labor dispute mediation organizations, promote the construction of the coordination and linkage mechanism of "trade unions+courts+procuratorates+people's cooperatives+justice" at all levels, improve the system of labor dispute prevention, mediation and resolution, and assist the Party committee The government and all relevant parties have resolved labor relations conflicts and disputes at the grass-roots level and in the bud. Recently, the All China Federation of Trade Unions, the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate, etc. have carried out work meetings and exchanges and printed and distributed relevant minutes, which have made new progress and achieved new results in promoting the construction of coordination and linkage mechanisms. Trade unions in all regions should seize the opportunity, take the initiative to communicate with local courts and procuratorates, and work together to make this mechanism work better. We should further give play to the role of ministerial coordination and local linkage mechanisms, strengthen the system and capacity building to maintain political security in the labor field, effectively prevent and resolve major risks and hidden dangers in the labor field, strive to improve the ability to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of workers and maintain political security in the labor field, and be able to maintain the overall harmony and stability of enterprises and society.
Seventh, continue to deepen the reform and construction of trade unions
Comprehensively promoting Chinese style modernization puts forward new and higher requirements for the ability and level of trade union work. All trade unions at all levels should always maintain the spirit of initiative, reform and innovation, further promote the reform and construction of trade unions to develop in depth and extend to the grass-roots level, better serve the overall situation of the Party and the country, better serve the workers and the masses, and better play the role of bridge and link. We should strengthen the planning for reform of the system. We should properly handle the relationship between integrity and innovation, closely focus on maintaining and strengthening the political, advanced and mass nature of trade unions, and promote reform with the goal of building a trade union work system that is widely connected and serves workers, and strengthening the education of trade union solidarity, safeguarding rights and interests, and serving workers. We should actively adapt to the changes of the times and the development of the workforce, make an in-depth inventory of the effectiveness, experience, problems and shortcomings of the reform, and focus on the issues that the Party Central Committee most cares about, the workers feel most directly, and the trade union cadres reflect most intensively in the next step of reform. We should focus on improving the weakness, strength, foundation, and vitality of the trade union, and constantly improve the leadership of the trade union Organization and service. It is necessary to handle the relationship between the top-level design and the grass-roots exploration. The top-level design should pay more attention to the overall, systematic and holistic nature, pay attention to strengthening investigation and research, listen to the opinions of all aspects, and practically improve the scientificity and feasibility of the measure formulation and scheme design to ensure that they are in line with the actual situation. While strengthening the top-level design, we should actively encourage grass-roots units to explore boldly, summarize achievements and experience in a timely manner, and elevate them to general work guidance. It is necessary to strengthen the communication and cooperation between the superior and subordinate trade unions, local trade unions and industrial trade unions, so as to form a situation where trade unions at all levels interact well and jointly promote work. We should firmly establish a clear orientation of focusing on the grass-roots level, further improve the existing trade union organizations, and focus on expanding the coverage of trade union organizations, focusing on non-public enterprises above a certain size, by implementing the three-year action of safeguarding the rights and services of workers in new employment forms, the three-year action of building trade unions in non-public enterprises, and the three-year action of building small three-level trade unions, The first Internet platform enterprises and affiliated enterprises with concentrated workers in new employment forms, towns (streets), villages (communities), parks, etc. with insufficient coverage of trade union organizations and dense employees but no large enterprises, carried out the work of trade union formation, and increased efforts in new economic organizations, new social organizations, new employment groups and other new fields, The majority of workers should be organized into the trade union to the greatest extent, and the organizational foundation of trade union work should be constantly consolidated. We should promote more resources and means to the grass-roots level, so that the grass-roots level can become stronger. In view of the shortage of funds, space and personnel at the grass-roots level, we will continue to tilt the trade union funds to the trade unions in towns (streets), development zones (industrial parks) and villages (communities), strive to ensure office space, activity sites and service positions, ensure the treatment of workers of the social chemical industry association, and explore ways to form a channel for the development and growth of workers of the social chemical industry association within the trade union. It is necessary to improve and improve the guidance and service mechanism for the work of grassroots trade unions, consolidate and expand the achievements of the "Year of Strengthening County level Trade Unions", establish a system of normalized contact with grassroots trade unions, actively respond to and timely solve the difficulties encountered by grassroots trade unions, and do everything possible to empower and reduce the burden of grassroots trade unions. We should follow the online mass line, combine "key to key" and "face-to-face", promote the digital construction of trade unions, strengthen the application of artificial intelligence, and enable the work of trade unions with network technology.
Eighth, earnestly strengthen the party building and cadre team building of the trade union system
General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech during the collective conversation with members of the new leadership of the General Assembly pointed out the direction and provided guidance for the work of the trade union in the new era and new journey. Comrade Cai Qi's speech on behalf of the Party Central Committee put forward clear requirements for further doing well in trade union work. The report of the 18th National Congress of the Trade Union made a comprehensive arrangement for doing well in the work of the trade union in the next five years. The blueprint has been drawn, the task has been defined, and the key is to implement it. On the new journey, we must focus on strengthening the party building of the trade union system, accelerate the construction of a high-quality and professional trade union cadre team, and provide a strong guarantee for achieving various goals and tasks. We should thoroughly implement the important thought of General Secretary Xi Jinping on the Party's self revolution, guide the work of party building in the trade union system with the political construction of the Party, be strict in political discipline and rules, take political life seriously within the Party, solidly carry out the work of creating a model political organ of "being loyal to the cause of the Party and serving the staff wholeheartedly", and vigorously carry out the education of loyalty to the Party, Take the "first square" in the overall implementation of the decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee. We should always put political standards first, optimize and improve the assessment and evaluation mechanism, establish a talent selection and employment orientation that focuses on hard work, performance and effectiveness, so that those cadres who are determined to innovate, work hard and are willing to contribute can stand out, and form a continuous positive demonstration incentive effect. Attach importance to strengthening the coordination and management of cadres, and select and strengthen the leading group of the trade union. We should adhere to the spirit of strictly implementing the Central Committee's eight point provisions and the detailed rules for their implementation, continue to correct formalism and bureaucracy, and put style building in a more prominent position. We should strengthen the all-round management and regular supervision of party members and cadres, focus on the key minority, key areas and weak links, constantly improve the supervision mechanism, tighten the system cage, deepen the treatment of both the symptoms and root causes, and systematically implement the integrated promotion of "dare not corrupt, can not corrupt, do not want to corrupt". We need to change our style of work and focus on implementation. We need to earnestly implement the requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping on "focusing on implementation to the letter, vigorously implementing it, seeking truth and pragmatism, and daring to do good". We need to work out work plans based on our own realities, implement all the arrangements made at the 18th National Congress of the Trade Union, and form a good situation of focusing on implementation at all levels and all the staff. 2023 is the year of the trade union transition. More than 20 provincial (district, city) federations of trade unions have completed the transition. Most of the cities and districts (counties) have also completed the transition before. The new team should have a new atmosphere and new achievements, but must maintain the integrity, continuity and stability of the work, adhere to work one after another, work year after year, and draw a blueprint to the end, Efforts should be made to promote all work to achieve new progress and results on the original basis. We should promote the work style of seeking truth, pragmatism and truth from facts, adhere to the principle of basing ourselves on reality and making scientific decisions, not mention unrealistic slogans, not determine the indicators that cannot be implemented at the grass-roots level, and not carry out the assessment of increasing weights and leaving excessive marks at all levels, so as to effectively reduce the burden of work at the grass-roots level. It is necessary to establish a correct view of political achievements, not to seek false fame, not to do false work, and to focus on the implementation. Trade union cadres at all levels, especially leading cadres, should be good "construction team leaders", focus on implementing the tasks set by the 18th National Congress of the Trade Union, and implement the Party Central Committee's major policies and decisions on the work of the working class and trade unions with practical actions.
Comrades, it is a great responsibility and arduous task for trade unions to do a good job in 2024. Let's unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, take Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the guide, thoroughly study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important statement on the work of the working class and trade unions, and with a sense of urgency to seize the moment, really work hard and strive bravely to be the first, Unite and mobilize the staff and workers to make new and greater contributions to the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation with Chinese style modernization!
