On October 23, 2023, shortly after the 18th National Congress of the Chinese Trade Union, General Secretary Xi Jinping had a collective talk with members of the new leadership of the General Assembly, which was the third collective talk since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

Trade union organizations are not only mass organizations, but also political organizations. Emphasizing politics is the first requirement. General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly made systematic statements on adhering to the Party's leadership over the labor movement and trade union work. As early as 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a clear point in his first collective talk with members of the new leadership of the General Assembly after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China that whether the trade union work is well done and whether it has achieved significant results depends on whether it adheres to the correct political direction; To adhere to the correct political direction is to adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the socialist system; Trade unions should always maintain the fine tradition of consciously accepting the leadership of the Party. Since then, at important conferences such as the National Conference for Commending Model Workers and Advanced Workers and the Central Party's Working Conference on Mass Organizations, the trade unions have repeatedly stressed that they should adhere to the leadership of the Party and comprehensively and effectively implement the adherence to the leadership of the Party in the whole process and all aspects of trade union work.

The working class is the leading class of our country, the representative of advanced productive forces and production relations, the most solid and reliable class foundation of our Party, and the main force in upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in the face of profound changes in the domestic and international environment, and the arduous task of reform, development and stability, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has closely relied on the working class and the working people, united and led the working class and the working people to actively participate in the great practice of building a moderately prosperous society and a modern socialist country in an all-round way, The cause of the Party and the state has made historic achievements and undergone historic changes.

After carefully listening to the speech of Sun Jingnan, a famous technical expert of CRRC and a representative of electric welder, the General Secretary praised that "the craftsman of a great country is the cornerstone and pillar of our building of the Chinese nation".

The deep concern of the General Secretary is not only a great inspiration for hundreds of millions of workers to strive for the best and climb the peak, but also a strong spur for the trade union to better shoulder the historical responsibility of uniting and mobilizing workers to make contributions in the new era.

Safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of employees and wholeheartedly serve the masses of employees

It is the fundamental requirement of China's socialist system, the sacred duty of the Party and the state, and the most important and fundamental work to play the role of the working class and the working masses as the main force. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has always been concerned about the safety of the working class and the working people, emphasizing that the Communist Party of China always represents the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, shares weal and woe with the people, and lives and dies together; We need to safeguard the fundamental interests of the people, improve people's wellbeing, and constantly realize that development is for the people, depends on the people, and the fruits of development are shared by the people, so that the fruits of modernization can benefit all people more and more equitably; The trade union should regard serving the masses of workers wholeheartedly as the starting point and foothold of all work of the trade union, and serve the masses of workers wholeheartedly. The General Secretary's concern for the working class and the broad masses of the working people has spread all over the country. On February 1, 2019, three days before the New Year's Eve of the Lunar New Year, the General Secretary visited grassroots cadres and people in Beijing. He temporarily got off the bus and went to the express service point in Qianmen Stone Alley. He walked up to the express delivery boys, shook hands with them, and paid them New Year's greetings at the same time, Praise the courier brother for "working from morning to night, rain or shine, the busier the holidays are, like a diligent bee, the hardest worker". On September 17, 2020, the General Secretary presided over a forum for grassroots representatives in Changsha, Hunan Province, where 30 grassroots representatives, including village secretaries, rural teachers, poverty relief cadres, migrant workers, grain growers, truck drivers, courier boys, restaurant owners, and legal workers, gathered together. The General Secretary communicated with each representative who spoke, It points out that "one period has its own problems, and one group has its own difficulties. We should pay attention to them and constantly solve them". On November 29, 2023, the General Secretary came to Shanghai Minhang District New Era Urban Constructor Manager's Home for investigation. This "home" focuses on solving the "far, expensive and difficult" problem of renting houses for staff coming to Shanghai, and focuses on providing targeted rental housing and beds and related supporting services to front-line workers in construction, sanitation, greening, express delivery and other industries. After learning about everyone's situation and plans, the General Secretary smiled and said, "You are also the builders and contributors of Shanghai, so Shanghai should also care about you" and "ensure that the migrant population can enter, stay, live safely and become successful".

The General Secretary's concern is the focus of trade union work. All trade unions at all levels adhere to the work orientation of taking employees as the center, improve the "inclusive+special" employee rights protection and service system, and strive to provide accurate and considerate services to hundreds of millions of workers. Give play to the role of the online employment service platform of the national trade union, and provide more than 1.5 million jobs in total. We strengthened the protection of workers' rights and interests in new forms of employment, promoted platform enterprises to legally regulate employment, scientifically adjust algorithms, and improve labor quota standards. Leading platform enterprises established a negotiation mechanism and signed collective contracts, covering 2.3 million couriers, 3 million takeaways, and 3.8 million online car hailing drivers. Organize the national trade union system to jointly carry out special winter activities to solve employees' wage arrears, establish and improve the weekly report on wage arrears and the release system of typical cases of wage arrears, and achieve "all clues, all processing". The "offer action" of collective negotiation was extensively carried out, and the opinions on promoting the establishment of harmonious labor relations in the new era were jointly issued with relevant ministries and commissions. The first National Conference on Commendation and Experience Exchange of Advanced Collectives and Advanced Individuals in the Establishment of Harmonious Labor Relations was jointly held, and the first batch of grassroots public service model sites for labor relations were cultivated to promote the establishment of harmonious labor relations. The 12351 trade union service hotline for workers was fully built and operated, and a "fast track" was opened to solve workers' problems in a timely and efficient manner. Organized the implementation of the "Double 15 Project" (by the end of 2023, there will be 150000 trade union stops nationwide, and the 15 minute service circle of trade union stops in major cities and key urban areas will basically be cross covered). By the end of 2023, 184200 trade union stops have been built, and the annual service will exceed 1 billion person times. We organized and carried out the special action of "Warm Border and Green Environment" to care for employees, and the action of "Labor Union will accompany you on the road" to care for truck drivers, and built more than 1800 "driver homes".

On the new journey, we need to further strengthen our work and focus on solving the problems of labor employment, income distribution, skill training, social security, safety and health that are generally concerned by workers. The three-year action to safeguard the rights and interests of workers in new forms of employment was carried out in a down-to-earth manner, focusing on the establishment of the Association, the initiation of collective negotiation, the signing of collective contracts, and the timely mediation of labor disputes by trade unions, so as to effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of workers in new forms of employment. We will continue to do a good job in traditional services such as delivering warmth, cool, golden autumn student aid, mutual medical assistance for employees, and legal aid for trade unions. We will actively carry out the "New Double 15 Project" of trade union posts (push 15% of trade union posts to become the most beautiful trade union posts, and build 15% of trade union posts to upgrade to 24-hour intelligent posts), so as to provide more accessible and convenient services for outdoor workers. We should manage and use the 12351 trade union service hotline for employees well, and strive 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 resolution of employees' actual difficulties. Consolidate and expand the achievements of difficult urban workers in solving difficulties, improve the dynamic monitoring mechanism to prevent the return of difficulties, timely identify problems and effectively promote solutions, and firmly hold the bottom line of no large-scale return of difficulties.

Reform and innovation is an inexhaustible driving force for the development of the cause of the Party and the country, and also an important driving force for the high-quality development of trade union work. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, promoting the reform and construction of mass organizations, including trade unions, has always been an important focus of General Secretary Xi Jinping's plan to comprehensively deepen reform. On April 28, 2013, the General Secretary put forward the major proposition of the development and innovation of trade union work when the All China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) held a forum with representatives of national model workers, emphasizing that the times are developing, the cause is innovating, and trade union work should also be developed and innovated. On July 6, 2015, he presided over the first meeting of the Central Party on the work of mass organizations, emphasizing that the most important thing to strengthen and improve the work of the Party's mass organizations under the new situation is to maintain and enhance its political, advanced and mass character.

In August 2017, we made important instructions on the mass and league reform, emphasizing that the mass and league work of the Party is a very important work of the Party, and the mass and league reform is an important task to comprehensively deepen the reform. We should promote all mass and league organizations to combine their own reality, closely focus on strengthening their "political, advanced and mass character", face up to outstanding problems, take effective measures, and dare to overcome difficulties, Pay attention to tamping the grassroots foundation of mass work. On October 16, 2022, in the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it was clearly proposed to deepen the reform and construction of trade unions, the Communist Youth League, women's federations and other mass organizations, and effectively play the role of bridge and link.
