On May 14, the Jiangsu Federation of Trade Unions, the Provincial Department of Public Security, and the Provincial Department of Transport jointly issued the Notice on Further Promoting the Work of Truck Drivers Joining the Association and Servicing, focusing on building an integrated promotion pattern of truck drivers' membership and rights protection services, and maximizing the organization of truck drivers from leading platform enterprises such as Yunman into the trade union.
It is reported that it is of great significance to promote the participation and service of workers in new forms of employment, such as truck drivers, for promoting the healthy and sustainable development of the industry and uniting the broad truck driver community. The truck driver group is highly mobile. The license plate registration place, household registration place, permanent residence place and work transportation route are often not in the same place. There is a phenomenon that no one can be found and no words can be spoken. There are still problems in the promotion work, such as insufficient progress, insufficient effective coverage, and inaccurate service. Trade unions, public security organs, and transportation departments at all levels in the province will further unify their ideas, integrate resources, and focus on tackling key problems. By the end of 2024, the province will strive to have more than 210000 members of the newly developed truck drivers' trade union, and continue to consolidate and expand the achievements of truck drivers' membership, so as to basically cover all active truck drivers by the end of 2026.
According to the requirements of the notice, trade unions at all levels, public security organs and transportation departments will explore the form of membership suitable for the professional characteristics and living habits of truck drivers on the basis of finding out the base number of truck drivers. First, encourage truck drivers who mainly receive orders on platforms such as Yunman to join the platform freight logistics union online. The second is to set up the trade union federation of new employment workers and the trade union of the transportation industry at the provincial, district city, and county (city, district) levels. Truck drivers can join the trade union organization through the trade union of the place where they work. Third, establish trade unions according to law and develop truck driver members in logistics parks, large ports, wholesale markets and other areas where truck drivers are concentrated. The public security and traffic control department explores to set up the source supervision outpost in the park where conditions permit, to provide truck drivers with services such as "two education", verification and certificate replacement, and approval and issuance of motor vehicle inspection marks. Fourth, scattered truck drivers will be covered by trade unions in towns (streets), development zones (industrial parks) and villages (communities). Fifthly, in combination with the platform enterprises' work of providing inkjet services for freight vehicles and promoting users, set up service points in the areas where truck drivers are concentrated, and develop truck drivers to join the club on the spot. Select the local motor vehicle comprehensive performance testing agency with large passenger flow as the pilot, discuss the cooperation conditions, and cooperate with truck drivers to join the association. Sixth, truck drivers who have established labor relations with enterprises and have established trade unions in enterprises shall join the trade unions through enterprises. Through the mode of "platform membership+resident membership", the effective connection between online and offline, standardized management, and the widest development of truck drivers to join trade unions are achieved.
The notice stressed that the trade union should play a role in safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of truck drivers. We will improve service projects, further forge the "new" brand of Sugongwan, carry out activities such as the "8+X" comprehensive service market for truck drivers, promote preferential services such as refueling, dining in the service area, and road rescue for the union members of full truck drivers, and actively negotiate with industry associations, head enterprises or enterprise representatives on freight, draw ratio, reward and punishment system, etc, Continue to carry out activities such as selecting trees and "the most beautiful truck driver". Trade unions at all levels and transportation departments should cooperate closely with each other to build and expand the driver's home, consolidate and improve the service quality, expand the operation content, load the labor union's rights protection service function, and build the driver's home into a comprehensive platform for serving truck drivers. We will strengthen the rule of law, cooperate with the judicial department and the bar association to carry out special actions on legal services for truck drivers, promote the improvement of relevant laws and regulations, and establish and improve a long-term mechanism for risk prevention. Innovate the service content, and encourage local trade unions and transportation departments to design and deliver a batch of inclusive, policy oriented and industry-specific services that meet the professional characteristics and living habits of truck drivers according to local conditions.
