According to the report of the Workers' Daily on May 23, in order to better fit in with the online car hailing driver group and organize activities in the form they like to see, Wang Jinku, the chairman of the online car hailing industry union in Beilin District, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, made a video number, which covers many aspects of online car hailing industry, such as knowledge popularization, rights protection services, legal consultation, and publicity of trade union work. In half a year, the video number released 23 videos, which attracted hundreds of thousands of online taxi hailing drivers' attention, and gradually formed a unique video style.
The video number made by the chairman of the trade union was "hot", which was unexpected and reasonable. For one thing, the profession of online car hailing driver is based on the Internet platform. Many online car hailing drivers are experienced netizens themselves. Short video platforms are the channels they often use and love to use, whether for leisure entertainment or information query. Secondly, the content released by this video number is closely related to the work and life of online taxi hailing drivers. The "grounded" way of telling makes the original "professional" knowledge easy to understand, and Wang Jinku's identity as the "chairman of the trade union" has also added weight to the preaching and reasoning imperceptibly - sharing the "dry goods" they want to know and use in the way that online taxi hailing drivers like to see, Of course, it will attract their attention and likes.
The enthusiastic attention of online taxi hailing drivers to this video number, on the one hand, shows that they have a demand for the supply of relevant content, on the other hand, shows that trade union rights protection services can explore and try more new methods and new paths under the new situation. From January to September 2022, the All China Federation of Trade Unions organized the ninth survey on the status of the national workforce. The survey shows that the total number of employees in China is about 402 million, of which 84 million workers are newly employed, including online taxi hailing drivers. In contrast, workers in the new form of employment have more flexible work forms and more diverse rights and interests. How to do a good job in protecting the rights of this group is a "must answer" for trade unions at all levels to perform their basic duties and improve the quality and efficiency of services.
In recent years, whether it is online live broadcast job delivery, or building a smart labor union platform, or opening a 24-hour smart relay station, trade unions at all levels have been actively seeking innovation and change and constantly exploring practice in order to conform to the trend of development of the times and respond to the expectations of workers and the masses. Not only workers in new forms of employment, but also workers in all walks of life have benefited a lot from it.
Innovation is endless, and the steps to improve the quality and efficiency of trade union rights protection services cannot stop. Trade unions at all levels should make full use of the dividends of technological progress, open up ideas and innovate methods, and enhance the interaction, timeliness and convenience of services. At the same time, we should take the initiative to go to the masses of workers, understand and grasp their urgent problems, send trade union services to the hearts of the masses of workers, and strive to realize that trade union services will extend to wherever the needs of workers are.
