The Pilot Plan for the Reform of the All China Federation of Trade Unions has been reviewed and approved by the Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reform, and the pilot reform work has started. A few days ago, Li Yufu, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Vice Chairman of the All China Federation of Trade Unions, First Secretary of the Secretariat and Leader of the Leading Group for the Reform Pilot Work of the All China Federation of Trade Unions, answered questions from reporters about the reform pilot work of the All China Federation of Trade Unions.
Q: Why should the reform pilot be carried out in the All China Federation of Trade Unions?
A: Promoting the reform of the All China Federation of Trade Unions is the internal requirement and objective need for the development of China's labor movement cause and trade union work. It implements the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's series of important speeches, reflects the requirements of the Party Central Committee on the reform of the work of mass organizations, adheres to the path of the development of socialist mass organizations with Chinese characteristics, and complies with the expectations of the broad masses of workers, It conforms to the actual work of the trade union.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as General Secretary has put forward and formed the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, and comprehensively deepening reform is a breakthrough and leading key link in this layout. Facing the new situation and new tasks, the trade union organization still has many problems that are incompatible with it, which affects the exertion of trade union functions and the improvement of work level. To solve these problems, the fundamental way out lies in reform, and the reform of trade unions should start from the whole headquarters.
General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed that we should consciously use the spirit of reform to plan and promote trade union work, innovate the organizational system, operating mechanism, activity methods and working methods, and promote trade union work to a new level. General Secretary Xi Jinping's series of important speeches, especially the important statements on the work of the working class and trade unions, are the basic guidelines for guiding trade union reform.
Q: What are the overall considerations for promoting the pilot reform of the General Assembly?
A: We adhere to the correct direction, highlight the problem orientation, and focus on innovation. We mainly carry out work from five aspects: strengthening ideological armed forces, carefully finding problems, in-depth research and demonstration, carefully studying and proposing measures, and widely soliciting opinions. We actively, steadily, solidly and orderly promote the reform pilot. The overall consideration is:
First, strengthen the "three natures". Focusing on the main line of maintaining and strengthening the political, advanced and mass nature of trade union work and trade union organizations, we should fully grasp the basic requirements of the "six insistences" and the basic characteristics of the "three unifications" of the development path of socialist groups with Chinese characteristics, promote the comprehensive innovation of trade union work with reform as the driving force, and build trade union organizations into more vigorous, strong and powerful, We should earnestly assume the political responsibility of guiding the staff and workers to listen to and follow the Party.
The second is to eliminate the "four modernizations". We should strengthen the awareness of problems and reform, and propose targeted reform measures against the phenomenon of separation from the masses, such as "institutionalization, administration, aristocratization and entertainment", so as to solve both the symptoms and the root causes of the problem.
Third, strengthen the grassroots. Tilt more resources to the grass-roots level, invest more energy in the front-line grass-roots level, try to solve the problem of weak foundation at the grass-roots level, constantly stimulate the vitality of grassroots trade unions, and give full play to the role of grassroots trade unions.
Fourth, focus on innovation. Be brave in taking responsibility, facing problems directly, and self innovation, put forward targeted, forward-looking and breakthrough ideas and methods, and break the institutional barriers that restrict the innovative development of trade union work.
Q: What measures does this reform take to improve the composition of the leading bodies of trade unions and the setup of the whole federation?
A: First, we should strengthen the universality and representativeness of trade union organizations and increase the proportion of workers' representatives in leading organizations. Among the members of the Executive Committee and the Presidium of the current session of the General Assembly, the proportion of model workers and front-line workers was increased respectively, and part-time vice chairmen of migrant workers and temporary secretaries of the Secretariat were added to the leadership of the General Assembly. The proportion of model workers and front-line workers will be increased among the members of the full committee and the standing committee of the National Industrial Trade Union, and part-time vice chairmen will be added respectively.
Second, we should integrate and optimize the functions and institutional settings of the government agencies. We will establish a flat organizational structure, avoid overlapping beds and building houses, and further form a pattern of downward looking, grassroots oriented, clear responsibilities and efficient operation.
Third, implement the system of "subtracting the upper part and supplementing the lower part". In order to strengthen the work force at the grass-roots level, the General Assembly has simplified certain staffing, enriched a number of county-level trade unions with heavy tasks and weak strength, and led the provincial and municipal local trade unions to implement the "reduction of the upper and supplement the lower" staffing.
Fourth, improve the management of government officials. Highlight the work experience of grassroots front-line workers and the masses, and focus on the recruitment and selection of government officials from model workers and outstanding front-line trade union workers.

A: Deepen the "Year of Implementation of Grass roots Trade Union Construction" activity, establish trade union organizations in all kinds of enterprises and institutions, especially non-public economic organizations and social organizations, promote the construction of regional and industrial trade union federations in places where small and medium-sized enterprises are concentrated, and consolidate and strengthen trade union organizations and work in deepening the reform of state-owned enterprises, Actively explore and strengthen the construction of trade unions in free trade zones, villages and towns (streets), development zones (industrial parks) and other trade unions, improve the quality of the construction of trade unions, and achieve effective coverage of non-public enterprise employees, scientific and technological workers and flexible employment personnel.

Strengthen the supervision and management of trade union funds. Open up online application for membership, implement real name management of members and other ways to make it more convenient and efficient for employees to join and obtain services.
Q: What measures will be taken to innovate the carriers and ways for employees to make contributions?
A: First, we should strengthen the trade union brand and give full play to the main role of the working class in realizing the Chinese Dream. Deeply study and implement the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, focus on the "13th Five Year Plan" for national economic and social development, guide the staff and workers to establish and practice the new concept of innovation, coordination, green, open and shared development, actively participate in mass entrepreneurship and innovation, participate in labor competitions, and carry out in-depth professional skills competitions for staff and workers; Create and strengthen a number of brands, such as warmth giving, May Day Labor Award, great artisans, pioneer workers, and staff bookstores.

Q: How can trade unions improve the system and mechanism for safeguarding the rights and interests of workers?
A: First, we should focus on safeguarding the basic rights and interests of employees. Focus on improving quality and efficiency, comprehensively deepen collective negotiation, and solidly carry out regional (industrial) collective negotiation. Promote the construction of harmonious labor relations with Chinese characteristics, and promote the expansion of harmonious labor relations creation activities from industrial parks to towns (streets) and villages (communities). Actively participate in the formulation of reform policies for state-owned enterprises, and mobilize workers to actively support and participate in the reform.
Second, improve the democratic mechanism of workers' consultation. Promote the formulation and implementation of laws, regulations and policies related to the interests of workers, and promote the increase of the proportion of front-line workers in NPC deputies and CPPCC members; We will promote the implementation of the tripartite mechanism for coordinating labor relations and the system of joint meetings between the government and trade unions.
The third is to build a service staff system focusing on precise assistance. Expand the service functions of the help center (staff service center) and the site for needy workers, develop mutual aid projects for employees, and provide precise help and relief for needy workers.

Trade union cadres should improve their ability to use new media and interact more directly with the staff and workers on the Internet.
Q: How can the Party Group of the General Assembly play a leading role and promote various reforms to achieve results?
A: First, trade union work is carried out around the overall work of the Party and the state. We will resolutely implement the decisions and arrangements of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, improve the system of the Party's leading group asking for instructions from and reporting on important work to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and always maintain a high degree of consistency with the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China with Comrade Xi Jinping as General Secretary in ideology, politics, and action.
