Attracting a large number of Youth Union members and workers

At Sonova Operations Center Vietnam Co., Ltd., located in the Vietnam - Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP I) in Thuan An city, the company’s trade union local and directorate have frequently organized and promoted emulation movements, namely “Working well, working creatively”, “Promoting technical innovations and initiatives”, attracting a large number of trade unionists and workers. Through the movement, trade unionists and workers have contributed numerous initiatives to improve and streamline production processes, thereby increasing labor productivity and reducing investment costs for businesses.

An exemplary case is Tran Thi Hang, a production team leader at the company, who is always enthusiastic about proposing initiatives and innovations to enhance labor productivity. Among Mrs. Hang’s notable innovations is the “Electric Module Repair” project used in hearing aid assembly. Previously, even with 100% new components and batteries, the company’s products had to be discarded, due to faulty Hybrids. After her initiative was applied, it helped revise the repair process, reducing the number of defective products discarded and helping the company save over VND 9 billion.

Similarly, the trade union local and directorate of Fujikura Fiber Optics Vietnam Co., Ltd. in VSIP I have actively promoted emulation movements, encouraging technical initiatives to boost labor productivity in celebration of the country’s major holidays. Through these emulation movements, numerous trade unionists and workers have introduced excellent, exemplary ideas, making positive contributions to the company’s overall development.

Notably, Nguyen Thanh Viet, who works in the production process control and improvement department, has led the way in the emulation movement to promote initiatives and technical innovations. Through his efforts, he has introduced numerous standardization and improvement initiatives, automating processes to streamline production, reduce operations, enhance product quality and productivity. His initiatives have yielded practical economic benefits for the company, saving over VND 3.8 billion.

Similarly, innovations by Duong Thanh Thuan, a maintenance worker at Hoya Lens Vietnam Co., Ltd. in VSIP 2 in Thu Dau Mot city have contributed to effective production continuity and cost savings. He received commendation from the company’s directorate for his initiative to replace the discontinued CT400 label printers with Thermal heads in the finalization process. When the original equipment supplier ceased providing these parts and the company’s stock was depleted, Mr. Thuan proactively researched and adapted older label printers with Thermal heads to handle label printing in the complete process, effectively replacing the CT400 printer. This solution exceeded all expectations and ensured production continuity.

Accordingly, for administrative and public service agencies, trade union locals have focused on promoting the emulation movement of “Excellent Advising, Good Service”; continued strengthening the campaign to build officials, civil servants and public employees who are “Loyal, Responsible, Honest and Creative”; and foster the movement of “Officials, civil servants and public employees competing in upholding workplace culture”. There is a continuous effort to improve professional skills, streamline work processes, enhance the quality of public administrative services, contributing to administrative reform, aiming for efficient, high-quality work towards building up modern and transparent administration that boosts public satisfaction. In the sectors of production, business and services, trade union locals have focused on launching the emulation movements of “Working well, working creatively”, “Promoting technical innovation and initiatives” and “Higher productivity, better quality”, aiming at increasing labor productivity, enhancing quality, reducing product costs and improving product designs to increase competitiveness in the market.

Provincial trade unions at all levels have effectively organized activities to care for the interests and welfare of trade unionists and workers, promptly supporting trade unionists and workers with difficult circumstances. They have encouraged emulation in overcoming challenges, promoted creativity, actively expanded membership, established trade union locals, implemented solutions to improve the quality of trade union cadres, especially grassroots trade union leaders in non-State enterprises and key staff at all levels to meet the demands of the new context. Provincial trade unions at all levels have promoted emulation to enhance skills, foster resilience, innovate working methods and show flexibility and creativity in addressing assigned tasks with the goal of “All for trade unionists and workers”.

It can be seen that emulation movements initiated and organized by provincial trade unions at all levels have inspired a sense of responsibility and creativity among officials, trade unionists and workers, providing motivation to overcome difficulties and successfully fulfill the tasks of each agency, unit, enterprise and locality.
