This important instruction fully reflects the concern and consistent expectations of General Secretary Xi Jinping and the CPC Central Committee for the working masses as always, which is not only a holiday tribute to labor and laborers, but also a mobilization order issued to all the people to forge ahead on a new journey and make contributions to a new era. We must take the study and implementation of the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions as a strong driving force, thoroughly study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on the work of the working class and trade unions, vigorously carry forward the spirit of model workers, labor spirit, and craftsman spirit, organize and mobilize hundreds of millions of workers to actively participate in the fiery practice of promoting Chinese-style modernization with high-quality development, and make unremitting efforts to comprehensively promote the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation.
Persist in advocating labor and eulogizing labor, and gather the ideological consensus of the whole society to respect labor and respect laborers
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "labor is the fundamental force to promote the progress of human society", "labor is the source of wealth and happiness", "labor is an important way for communists to maintain their political nature, an important means for communists to maintain the health of their political body, and an important guarantee for communists to carry forward their fine style and consciously resist the 'four winds'", "labor is the most glorious, the most noble, the greatest, and the most beautiful". These important expositions profoundly expound the status and role of labor, are the inheritance and development of the Marxist concept of labor, and are in line with the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and have great theoretical significance and value of the times.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, trade unions at all levels have unremittingly used Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to unite employees, continued to carry out publicity and education on the theme of "Chinese Dream and Labor Beauty", gave full play to the role of trade union media, increased publicity on model workers, "great country craftsmen", "the most beautiful workers", etc., and carried out the activity of "model workers entering the campus", which effectively created a social atmosphere of respect for labor, knowledge, talents, and creation. Up to now, the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee has jointly publicized and released 110 "Most Beautiful Workers", jointly produced and launched 11 seasons of "Great Country Craftsman" with China Central Radio and Television Station, and selected and publicized 50 "Great Country Craftsman of the Year". Efforts were made to organize employees to make contributions to their careers, and to carry out labor and skill competitions with themes such as "being a good master and making contributions to a new era", "making contributions to the '14th Five-Year Plan' and forging ahead on a new journey", so as to promote the whole society to love labor and devote themselves to labor, which effectively demonstrated the huge thrust of labor creation. In 2023, a total of 127 national leading labor and skill competition projects will be carried out, more than 750 rationalization suggestions will be put forward by employees, more than 40 technological innovation projects will be carried out, and more than 20 million inventions and creations will be obtained.
Labor is the only way to succeed in all things, and it will inevitably become the only way to realize the great cause of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation. In today's world, the rapid rise of the new technological revolution, the rapid development of social productive forces, profound changes in the form of labor, and the continuous enrichment of labor scenes, but the value of labor has not changed and will not change. On the new journey, it is necessary to strengthen propaganda and education and public opinion guidance, strengthen the ideological and political guidance of employees, vigorously publicize General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on the work of the working class and trade unions and the care and care for the working masses, publicize the principles and policies of the party and the government to encourage labor creation, publicize the "Chinese Dream and Labor Beauty", publicize the typical advanced deeds of labor, and sing the main theme of "Labor is glorious and workers are great". We should strengthen labor education, organize various forms of labor practice, and guide young people to firmly establish the idea of loving labor, develop the habit of loving labor, and grow into high-quality laborers who are diligent and good at labor. Continuously rejuvenate the labor enthusiasm and creative potential of the masses of workers, focus on major national strategies, major projects, major projects, and key industries, focus on new industrialization, new infrastructure, strategic emerging industries, digital economy, etc., implement the construction project of innovation and creation of the masses of workers, carry out extensive, in-depth and long-lasting labor and skill competitions, and carry out technological innovation, technical collaboration, invention and creation, rationalization proposals, online military training and small inventions, small creations, small innovations, small designs, Mass innovation and creation activities such as small suggestions have made labor glorious, knowledge noble, talents precious, and creation great a sonorous voice of the times.
Carry forward the spirit of model workers, labor spirit, and craftsman spirit, and gather a strong synergy to develop new quality productivity and promote high-quality development
On November 24, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a profound exposition on the connotation of the spirit of model workers, labor spirit and craftsman spirit at the National Commendation Conference for Model Workers and Advanced Workers, pointing out that "in long-term practice, we have cultivated and formed the spirit of dedication, striving for excellence, hard work, innovation, indifference to fame and fortune, and dedication, advocating labor, loving labor, hard work, and honest labor, and the craftsman spirit of dedication, excellence, meticulousness, and pursuit of excellence." Since then, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly extended holiday greetings to the working class and the working masses on the eve of "May Day" in different forms, eulogized the spirit of model workers, the spirit of labor and the spirit of craftsmen, and put forward clear requirements for carrying forward the "three spirits", raising our party's understanding of the "three spirits" to a new level.
The spirit of model workers, the spirit of labor, and the spirit of craftsmen are rooted in the fertile soil of Chinese culture, and are cast in the great practice of our party leading the people to struggle for a long time, highlighting the profound connotation of the core values of socialism, embodying the national spirit with patriotism as the core and the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core, and becoming a powerful spiritual driving force that inspires the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country to move forward bravely and bravely, and inspires generation after generation of workers to form a mind-to-heart in various historical periods of revolution, construction, reform and the new era. A powerful synergy to make it in one place. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, trade unions at all levels have deepened the reform of the construction of industrial workers, focusing on the implementation of key reform tasks such as ideological guidance, meritorious service, quality improvement, status improvement, and team expansion, and strive to promote the solution of outstanding problems in the salary, skill formation, promotion and use of industrial workers, and cultivate a large number of craftsmen and high-skilled talents in major countries. Highlight the demonstration and leading role of model workers and craftsmen, select model workers and advanced workers, strengthen the skills training of employees, build a combination of offline and online craftsman college cultivation system, create model workers and craftsman talent innovation studios, and carry out activities such as "model workers and craftsmen help enterprises", so as to effectively stimulate the enthusiasm and initiative of the majority of workers to join the industry and improve their skills. From 2013 to 2024, 5,461 national model workers and advanced workers, 13,480 national May Day labor awards, and 10,948 national worker pioneers were commended.
The strength of a nation is inseparable from the support of the spirit, and the progress of a society is always guided by the power of example. The party and the state have always adhered to the fundamental principle of wholeheartedly relying on the working class, always attached great importance to the important position of the working class and the broad masses of laborers in the development of the cause of the party and the state, and always attached great importance to giving play to the important role of model workers and advanced workers. On the new journey, it is necessary to continue to deepen the reform of the construction of the industrial worker team, give full play to the main role of enterprises, improve the skill formation system of industrial workers, expand the career development channels of industrial workers, cultivate and develop a knowledge-based, skilled, and innovative industrial worker army that matches the needs of new quality productivity, and encourage more workers, especially young people, to take the road of becoming skilled and serving the country with skills. Vigorously implement the typical benchmark tree selection cultivation and demonstration and promotion construction project, increase the training and selection of model workers and craftsmen, and influence and drive more employees to respect model workers, advocate model workers, learn from model workers, and strive to be model workers. Strengthen the management and service of model workers and craftsmen, further deepen the creation of innovation studios for model workers and craftsmen, strengthen the selection, display, exchange and promotion of innovative achievements, and build a platform and create conditions for model workers and craftsmen to play their role and inherit skills. Model workers and craftsmen should make persistent efforts to strive for first-class, personally spread the spirit of model workers, labor spirit, and craftsman spirit to the whole society, and use their excellent character and exemplary actions to guide and encourage all the people to make new contributions and create new achievements.
We are committed to benefiting workers and promoting the benefits of Chinese-style modernization to hundreds of millions of workers in a more equitable manner
On October 23, 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in a collective conversation with members of the new leadership team of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions that "the working class and the broad working masses are the main creators of social wealth, and more obvious and substantive progress in promoting the common prosperity of all people must first be reflected in the hundreds of millions of workers." In this year's "May Day" important instructions, General Secretary Xi Jinping once again emphasized that party committees and governments at all levels should "care for and care for the working masses, earnestly realize, safeguard and develop the legitimate rights and interests of workers, and encourage the working masses to achieve their dreams in hard work, honest work and creative work". This not only embodies our party's ruling philosophy, but also makes a solemn promise to the broad masses of workers.
The mainland is a large developing country and a large labor force, and expanding employment, increasing income, and constantly satisfying the people's yearning for a better life are important tasks at present and for some time to come. In particular, with the transformation of industrial forms, a large number of new industries and new occupations have emerged, and the protection of the rights and interests of workers and migrant workers in new employment forms must be paid close attention to. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, trade unions at all levels have conscientiously fulfilled their basic duties of safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of employees and serving the masses of workers wholeheartedly. Actively promote employment stabilization and employment protection, continue to carry out employment assistance activities, cooperate with the government to do a good job in eradicating wage arrears, and promote the timely and scientific adjustment of minimum wage standards in all localities. Carry out activities such as sending warmth in winter, coolness in summer, student assistance in autumn, sunshine employment, mutual medical assistance for employees, public welfare for employees, safe return of migrant workers to their hometowns, and care for the children of migrant workers, so as to build a multiple guarantee line for helping employees in difficulty. We have strengthened the construction of service positions such as workers' cultural palaces and workers' sanatoriums, strengthened and standardized the construction of service stations for outdoor workers of trade unions, and further promoted the "Double 15 Project of Trade Union Service Stations", and at present, 184,200 trade union stations have been built across the country, covering 147 million people serving workers. Organize new forms of employment workers and other groups into trade unions to the greatest extent possible, realize the establishment of trade unions in the headquarters of leading platform enterprises, and develop 3.8 million new forms of employment workers in 2023.
"Glory belongs to the laborer, and happiness belongs to the laborer. "Adhering to social fairness and justice and allowing workers to share the fruits of reform and development is not only a due duty but also an important guarantee for comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization. On the new journey, it is necessary to adhere to the employee-centered work orientation, put stable employment in a prominent position, pay close attention to the impact of industrial transformation and upgrading on the employment and other rights and interests of employees, create a high-quality service project of "trade unions to help employment", and promote the realization of fuller and higher-quality employment. Earnestly strengthen the establishment of systems and mechanisms for rights protection, highlight key links such as labor contracts and collective contracts, highlight key groups such as laborers, migrant workers, and female workers in new forms of employment, promote the improvement of wage determination mechanisms and normal growth mechanisms, and improve the level of social security for employees such as basic pensions, basic medical care, work-related injuries, unemployment, and maternity, and safeguard the rights and interests of employees' lives and health. Promote the implementation of the democratic management system of enterprises and institutions with the workers' congress as the basic form, and protect the democratic political rights of employees. In-depth implementation of the trade union digital intelligence construction project, so that the work of the trade union plugged in the wings of "digital intelligence", to achieve the "one-click union", "one network all-access" and "one terminal full-dimensional service" for the masses of employees, and strive to serve hundreds of millions of employees at all times, everywhere and efficiently. Smooth the channels for employees to reflect their demands, improve the system and mechanism for contacting the masses of employees, give full play to the role of the 12351 trade union as a hotline for serving employees, strengthen the publicity and legal supervision of the labor rule of law, carry out legal consultation and legal services, and promote the construction of harmonious labor relations. Trade union cadres should go deeper into the grassroots, enterprises, and front-line areas, truly understand what the workers think and want, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the workers and workers in a clear-cut manner, so as to truly ensure that the trade union is the "home of the workers" and that the trade union cadres are the most reliable "mother's family".
