The general secretary has made many important speeches and instructions on promoting the construction and reform of the ranks of industrial workers, and has profoundly answered a series of major theoretical and practical questions such as why to promote the construction and reform of the ranks of industrial workers and how to deepen the construction and reform of the ranks of industrial workers. The 18th National Congress of Chinese Trade Unions, standing at the historical starting point of the new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and marching towards the second centenary goal, has clarified new goals and put forward new requirements for deepening the construction and reform of the industrial worker team. To thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the important instructions of the general secretary on the construction and reform of the industrial worker team, fully implement the decision-making and deployment of the 18th National Congress of the Chinese Trade Unions, further clarify the direction, clarify the ideas, increase the efforts, and continue to deepen the reform of the construction and reform of the industrial worker team, we must correctly understand and handle the ten major relationships.
The relationship between industrial reform and the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation.
**The general secretary stressed that it is necessary to deepen the reform of the construction of the industrial worker team around the in-depth implementation of the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, the strategy of strengthening the country with talents, and the strategy of innovation-driven development, accelerate the construction of a knowledge-based, skilled, and innovative army of industrial workers, and cultivate more craftsmen and high-skilled talents in major countries.
Industrial workers are the main force of the working class and the vital force for the development of new productive forces. The prominent position and important role of industrial workers in the great journey of building a strong country and national rejuvenation is the logical starting point for deepening the reform of the construction and reform of the industrial worker team.
Deepening the industrial reform is to focus on the implementation of the strategy of manufacturing power, highlight new industrialization, emerging industries, digital economy and technological innovation, focus on the key work of industrial workers' ideological leadership, meritorious service, quality improvement, status improvement, team expansion, etc., fully stimulate the creative spirit and forge ahead of industrial workers, overcome difficulties and work hard in promoting major strategies, major projects, major projects and key industries, and start a business and strive to be the first in the torrent of economic construction with thousands of sails, and develop new quality productivity. Relying on labor creation to solidly promote Chinese-style modernization, play the strong voice of the era of glorious labor and create greatness, and create a new glory for the working class.
The relationship between the construction of the industrial worker team and the reform.
The relationship between construction and reform is the basic issue in promoting industrial reform. At present, there are still contradictions in the construction of China's industrial worker team, such as the lack of skilled talents, the imperfect distribution system, the lack of professional attractiveness, the reluctance of young people to be workers, and the insufficient role, etc., to deepen the reform of the construction of the industrial worker team, it is necessary to focus on consolidating the class foundation and mass foundation of the party's long-term rule, implementing the strategy of manufacturing a strong country, and comprehensively improving the quality of industrial workers. Create more opportunities for industrial workers to grow and become talents, and provide a broad stage for industrial workers to devote themselves to the great cause of comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation.
The relationship between industrial reform and the socialist market economy.
Industrial reform is a major reform implemented in the context of the socialist market economy, and what to change and how to change must be based on whether it is in line with the overall goal of improving and developing the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity.
To deepen industrial reform, it is necessary to think, plan, and promote reform in accordance with the characteristics and laws of the socialist market economy. It is necessary to adhere to the people-centered development philosophy, so that the fruits of reform and development can benefit industrial workers more and more fairly; In view of the requirements of making the market play a decisive role in the allocation of resources, it is necessary to realize the linkage between the construction of industrial workers and macroeconomic, industrial, employment and social policies; In view of the requirements of correctly understanding and grasping the characteristics and behavioral laws of capital, while strengthening effective supervision and control in accordance with the law, it is necessary to give full play to the important role of capital in absorbing and expanding employment. In view of the requirements of the socialist market economy, which is essentially an economy governed by the rule of law, it is necessary to actively and steadily promote the industrial reform to be brought into the track of rule of law.
The relationship between the five major tasks of industrial reform.
Thought guidance, meritorious service, quality improvement, status improvement, and team expansion are the key tasks of deepening the construction and reform of the industrial worker team, and the five aspects are indispensable, complement each other, and unify in the great cause of promoting the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation.
To deepen the reform of the construction and reform of the industrial worker team, it is necessary to systematically grasp the dialectical unity relationship between the five major tasks, adhere to the overall planning and integrated promotion of the five major tasks in accordance with the comprehensive, systematic, in-depth and effective policy, so that the reform concepts and measures can go deep into the society, enterprises and teams, and work hard to improve labor productivity, promote high-quality development and the growth of industrial workers, and carry forward the spirit of model workers, labor spirit and craftsman spirit.
Adhere to the party's overall leadership and trade unions.
Take the lead in grasping the overall relationship.
The general secretary pointed out that the "Reform Plan for the Construction of Industrial Workers in the New Era" was promulgated, which is a strategic and overall major decision and deployment of the party and the state, and the trade union should take the lead in implementing it.
Deepening industrial reform is an important political responsibility of party committees at all levels. Under the centralized and unified leadership of the party, giving full play to the leading role of trade unions, gathering resources and social consensus from all aspects, and promoting industrial reform are the glorious missions and political tasks entrusted to trade unions at all levels under the new situation.
To deepen the reform of the construction of the ranks of industrial workers, it is necessary to give full play to the party's role as the core of leadership in controlling the overall situation and coordinating all parties, and implement the principle of wholeheartedly relying on the working class in the entire process of policy formulation and work advancement. The principal responsible comrades of the party and government are the key to deepening reform, and they must personally make arrangements for important tasks, personally check key links, and personally supervise the implementation of the situation. Trade unions should adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the party, conscientiously perform the general responsibility of taking the lead, strengthen the request for instructions and reporting, and strive for the support of the party committee and the party; Actively communicate and cooperate with industry associations, social organizations and other aspects, and gather a strong synergy to deepen the construction and reform of the industrial worker team.
Promote industrial reform and highlight the advanced in all fields.
manufacturing relations.
China has the world's most complete industrial system, and has a solid industrial foundation and human resource foundation to promote the construction and reform of industrial workers in all fields. At the same time, about 80% of industrial workers are concentrated in the manufacturing industry, which has a long training cycle, great difficulty and high gold content, which is a valuable human resource to promote high-quality development, and is the main contradiction and contradiction of deepening the construction and reform of the industrial worker team.
Adhering to the two-point theory and the key theory is the intrinsic requirement of materialist dialectics, and it is also the method that our party has consistently advocated and adhered to. To deepen the reform of the construction of the industrial worker team, it is necessary to focus on the advanced manufacturing industry and the real economy, and strive to stabilize and expand a team of knowledge-based, skilled, and innovative industrial workers, so as to promote the in-depth development of the reform of the construction of the industrial worker team in all fields. It is necessary to conform to the trend of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, promote the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry as a whole, maintain the stability of the industrial worker team, improve the skill formation system, and strive to cultivate hundreds of millions of high-quality industrial workers and technical talents.
Strengthen the organization, promote and give full play to the enterprise.
The relationship between the role of the subject.
The report of the 18th National Congress of the Chinese Trade Union proposed that it is necessary to deepen the reform of the construction of the industrial worker team, strengthen resource coordination and policy linkage, grasp the main problems to achieve key breakthroughs, and take multiple measures to promote the overall improvement.
Materialist dialectics holds that the development and change of things is the result of the joint action of internal and external causes, the internal cause is the basis, the external cause is the condition, and the external cause acts through the internal cause. Enterprises are relatively independent in economic and social activities, and are the main places for industrial workers to grow and become talents, the main stage for making contributions, and the main body and "last mile" for deepening the construction and reform of industrial workers. All policies and systems ultimately depend on the implementation of enterprises; All organizational and promotional work is aimed at creating good external conditions for enterprises to implement reform measures.
The implementation of reform measures is inseparable from the enthusiasm of both local governments and enterprises. To deepen the reform of the construction of the industrial worker team, it is necessary to deeply grasp the dialectical unity relationship between the party and the government, enterprises, society and trade unions in high-quality development, strengthen the top-level design, improve the institutional environment, create a social atmosphere, and promote enterprises to earnestly fulfill their main responsibilities. It is necessary to encourage and support enterprises to play a good role in personnel training, innovation and creation, improving the treatment of skilled workers, and building harmonious labor relations, so as to create a good environment in which everyone can become a talent and give full play to their talents. It is necessary to strengthen publicity and guidance, so that enterprises can clearly understand the great significance and social responsibility, and give commendation and policy support to those who have achieved remarkable results and satisfied industrial workers in accordance with regulations.
Promote the growth of industrial workers and promote enterprises.
The relationship between high-quality development.
Under the conditions of the socialist market economy, although industrial workers and enterprises are relatively independent in realizing their interests, their fundamental interests are the same, and they are both builders and participants in the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The high-quality development of enterprises is inseparable from high-quality industrial workers, and the growth and success of industrial workers also depend on the development and growth of enterprises.
In the process of promoting the construction and reform of the ranks of industrial workers, industrial workers and enterprises are antagonistic and unified. To deepen the reform of the construction of the ranks of industrial workers, it is necessary to coordinate the interests of both industrial workers and enterprises, and not only emphasize one and ignore the other. It is necessary to guide enterprises to firmly establish the awareness that industrial workers are the most valuable wealth of enterprises, actively fulfill social responsibilities, and promote decent work and all-round development of industrial workers; It is also necessary to guide industrial workers to strengthen their sense of community, stimulate the enthusiasm and creativity of production and operation, promote high-quality development, and realize the joint construction and sharing of industrial workers and enterprises.
Strengthen the ranks of industrial workers with.
machine substitution".
On April 28, 2015, the general secretary of the first class clearly pointed out at the celebration of the "May Day" International Labor Day and the National Conference on the Commendation of Model Workers and Advanced Workers that the view of ignoring the growth and progress of China's working class, the view of ignoring the role of the main force of China's working class, and the view that the working class is becoming more and more insignificant under the conditions of scientific and technological progress are all wrong and harmful.
Although the development of modern enterprise management methods, capital factors, and science and technology has brought tremendous changes to the means and modes of production, they have not fundamentally changed the nature of the productive forces and production relations of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and all the factors that promote the development of productive forces can only be realized through the labor of industrial workers. Behind the "unmanned factory" and "lighthouse factory" is a large number of modern industrial workers who operate in the control room, innovate in the workshop team, and maintain in the production line. The number of industrial workers may be decreasing, but the proportion of skilled workers will be increasing.
To deepen the reform of the building of the ranks of industrial workers, it is necessary to change concepts, resolutely abandon the "theory of machine determinism" and the theory of "extinction" and "uselessness" of industrial workers, and not look down on industrial workers, but vigorously cultivate them. It is necessary to closely focus on the needs of industrial upgrading and scientific and technological revolution, solidly promote the integration of production and education and school-enterprise cooperation with hard work as the standard, and strive to provide enterprises with people who meet the needs of the post and can create value. It is necessary to build a communication platform between colleges and universities and enterprises, create a social atmosphere in which labor is glorious, skills are valuable, and great is created, and high-potential talents such as college students should be encouraged and guided to develop in the direction of skilled talents, and take the road of becoming skilled and serving the country with skills.
Ensure the ownership and development of industrial workers.
The relationship between whole-process people's democracy.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that we should wholeheartedly rely on the working class, improve the democratic management system of enterprises and institutions with the workers' congress as the basic form, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of employees. The report of the 18th National Congress of the Chinese Trade Union emphasized that the democratic management of enterprises and institutions should be regarded as an important form of developing whole-process people's democracy, and efforts should be made to promote the implementation of the democratic management system of enterprises and institutions with the workers' congress as the basic form.
The working class is the leading class in our country, and the industrial workers are the main force of the working class. Improving and implementing the institutional arrangements for the ownership of industrial workers is an important part of deepening the reform of the construction of the ranks of industrial workers, a key link and prominent symbol of the development of whole-process people's democracy, and an important guarantee for industrial workers to realize their career development and self-worth.
The democratic and political rights of industrial workers are first embodied in the rights to manage and supervise enterprises and institutions. To deepen the reform of the building of the contingent of industrial workers, it is necessary to improve and implement the democratic management system, the system of making factory affairs public, and the system of questioning workers in enterprises and institutions with the workers' congress as the basic form, and organize industrial workers to practice democratic election, democratic decision-making, democratic management, and democratic supervision in accordance with the law. It is necessary to earnestly ensure the status of industrial workers as masters, coordinate and handle the relationship between the ranks of industrial workers and other groups, actively and orderly participate in national governance, social governance and corporate governance, and promote the organic unity of process democracy and outcome democracy, procedural democracy and substantive democracy, direct democracy and indirect democracy.
