Proposed Principles for Coordination Measures Between Trade Unions and Government in Managing Professional Activities at Some Universities of the University

Through studying the current situation of coordination between trade unions and the government in managing professional activities at a number of universities under the National University of Natural Sciences in recent times, it can be assessed as follows:

2.4.1. Advantages

Regarding the coordination between the union and the government in managing professional activities in universities, most managers, union members and lecturers have recognized the importance of this activity as well as the function of the union and its role in managing professional activities.

The coordination between the union and the government is mainly in the management of teaching activities, scientific research, etc. The union and the school government, the departmental union and functional departments, the faculties as well as the union groups with the departments have closely coordinated in the management of professional activities of the faculties and departments; there is interest in developing professional activities for lecturers.

The survey results of the current situation of coordination between the trade union and the government in managing professional activities at universities under Thai Nguyen University show that the coordination activities between the trade union and the government have received attention and achieved significant successes, contributing to the completion of the political tasks of the school and Thai Nguyen University.

2.4.2. Limitations and causes

- Limit:

A number of managers, union officials and lecturers do not fully and deeply understand the role, functions and tasks of the union as well as the coordination between the union and the government in managing professional activities in schools.

In the process of developing professional activity plans at the Faculty/Department level, the participation of the trade union has not been clearly shown or the participation is not in accordance with the functions and tasks of the trade union organization; it has not been clearly defined which are the tasks of the trade union, which are the tasks of the government in coordination activities and the responsibilities of each party.

The coordination mechanism between the union and the government, especially the coordination mechanism in managing professional activities, has almost not been built at the union levels in schools (except for the coordination regulations between the school union and the Board of Directors).

The union office staff is a very important staff, who directly advises the Standing Committee and the Executive Committee of the Union to manage all union activities in schools. Most of them have not been formally trained in trade unions but mainly operate through learning and experience; their qualifications and capacity have not kept up with current development practices.

The assessment of the effectiveness of coordination between the union and the government as well as coordination in managing professional activities has not been continuous and regular, and has not promoted the strength and role of departmental unions and union groups in participating in managing professional activities at faculties, departments and professional groups.

- Reason:

Most union officials are part-time, non-professional officials, so they do not have much time for union activities; some are elected to key union positions not entirely voluntarily but are assigned by the unit, or some officials are energetic and enthusiastic but have limited capacity, are young, and have little work experience, which significantly affects the quality of union activities as well as coordination with the government in professional management.

In most departments, offices, and divisions in schools, there is no coordination mechanism between the union and the government, especially a coordination mechanism to implement professional management activities to clearly define the responsibilities of each party when coordinating implementation, ... but there is only a Regulation on coordination of work between the School Union Executive Committee and the School Board of Directors.

The current school union office staff are all recruited and assigned by the government to do union work, sometimes only holding the position for a period of time and then transferring jobs, changing frequently so it is very difficult to grasp when implementing activities and in advising and assisting the union leaders.

Every year, the union and the government coordinate in managing professional activities, but have not yet evaluated the effectiveness of the coordination to find out the causes of limitations, weaknesses and remedial measures in the process of coordinating in managing professional activities.

Chapter 2 Conclusion

Professional activities directly affect the teaching quality of lecturers and the learning quality of students, contributing significantly to the implementation of educational tasks and improving the quality of education and training of the school. The coordination between the trade union and the government in managing professional activities at universities under Thai Nguyen University is still very limited.

Through a survey of the current situation of coordination between trade unions and the government in managing professional activities, we found that in addition to the achieved results, the management of coordination between trade unions and the government in managing professional activities at universities under the National University of Natural Resources and Environment still faces many difficulties due to: the lack of a coordination mechanism between trade unions and the government in managing professional activities; the activity plan does not reflect the participation of trade unions; the inspection and evaluation of management coordination between trade unions and the government has not received adequate attention.

In addition, the awareness of managers, union members and lecturers regarding the coordination between the union and the government in managing professional activities is still limited and incomplete; the team of union officials of schools who are the direct advisors to the Standing Committee and Executive Committee of the Union in managing all union activities mostly hold concurrent positions and have not received proper training on unions;

From that reality, it is necessary to have measures to coordinate between the trade union and the government in managing professional activities to improve the quality and effectiveness of management, thereby contributing to improving the quality of education and training of schools and universities.

MEASURES FOR COOPERATION BETWEEN TRADE UNIONS AND GOVERNMENTS IN MANAGING PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES

AT UNIVERSITIES BELONGING TO THAI NGUYEN UNIVERSITY

3.1. Principles for proposing measures for coordination between the trade union and the government in managing professional activities at some universities under Thai Nguyen University

3.1.1. Principle of ensuring purposefulness

The proposed management measures must fully ensure the objectives and significance of the coordination activities between the trade union and the government in managing professional activities; raise awareness and develop capacity for lecturers and staff, thereby improving the quality of coordination in managing professional activities in schools, while improving the management capacity and effectiveness of management work of managers and union members of universities.

3.1.3. Principles of ensuring systematicity and inheritance

A system is a collection of elements that are organically related to each other, influencing and influencing each other according to certain rules to become a whole. Therefore, when proposing measures, ensuring systematicity is extremely important. The trade union organization in universities under the University of Natural Sciences operates under the direction of the Party Committee of the school and coordinates with the government and other organizations in the school, forming a unified whole in the school, focusing on implementing the Party and State's policies and guidelines on education and training, and at the same time implementing regulations, plans, work projects, etc. to improve the quality of education and training of the school.

The measures taken must also ensure inheritance and absorption of scientific works of previous researchers to continue implementing effective management measures.

3.1.4. Principle of ensuring feasibility

Based on the theoretical basis and analysis of the current situation of management coordination, on the basis of scientific arguments, ensuring practical requirements, the measures must be highly feasible, consistent with the development goals and missions of the school, creating conditions for planning, organizing and managing professional activities, meeting the development requirements of the school in the coming time.

3.1.5. Principles of ensuring effectiveness

The proposed management measures must be suitable for the coordination between the trade union and the government in managing professional activities but not disrupting the system, ensuring the principles of stability and general development of the school. At the same time, the proposed measures must be practical to serve the current educational innovation in universities according to the guiding documents of the Party and the State; especially, they must have positive effects to improve the quality of coordination between the trade union and the government in managing professional activities in universities.

3.2. Measures for coordination between the union and the government in managing professional activities at some universities under Thai Nguyen University

3.2.1. Raising awareness of managers and union officials about coordination between unions and the government in managing professional activities

3.2.1.1. Objectives of the measure

The effectiveness of the coordination between trade unions and the government depends largely on managers and union officials at all levels, so it is necessary to raise awareness of managers and union officials. The goal of the measure is to create a change in awareness for managers and union officials about the role, function and importance of coordination between trade unions and the government in managing professional activities to meet the increasingly high development requirements of the education and training sector and of society. Only with correct awareness can we act correctly, and only with correct action can activities go in the right direction and achieve the desired results.

Thereby, learning about the values that people are currently enjoying, fostering patriotism and national pride. Those things bring an extremely great and hidden value in each person; filtering out the good and the bad to study and apply appropriately, both preserving the national quintessence and absorbing the world's quintessence.

Study and research on laws, policies and regimes such as Labor Law, Education Law, Trade Union Law, Vietnam Trade Union Charter; Regimes and policies related to employees (Social insurance, health insurance, unemployment insurance, salary, bonus, maternity regime, etc.). When having basic knowledge of the law, each cadre and lecturer will "live and work according to the Constitution and the law", and at the same time, accurately propagate the guidelines and policies on laws, policies and regimes. More than anyone else, managers and trade union members need to understand the law, especially labor law and regimes and policies related to employees in order to protect the legitimate and legal rights and interests of employees.

3.2.1.3. How to do it

Organize conferences, seminars, talks, rallies, etc. to disseminate information related to trade union organizations as well as coordination activities between trade unions and the government in professional management.

Organize learning, research, and discussion of the content. After completing the learning content, write a summary test and store it at the Union Office to monitor, grasp, evaluate, ... learning and research.

3.2.1.4. Implementation conditions

Strengthen activities and sessions to disseminate laws, policies, etc. Create conditions for employees to access books, newspapers, documents, raise awareness about the history of formation and development of the Trade Union organization, etc.

The school board needs to pay attention to creating conditions for clubs to operate (such as supporting maintenance costs, operating locations, etc.). Space must be arranged to make a traditional room of the school, including a separate area for trade union activities. The traditional room is a place to preserve memorabilia and images to educate the next generation about cultural and spiritual values, etc. to raise awareness about the history of formation, construction and development of the school as well as the trade union organization.

3.2.2. Developing a plan to manage professional activities at the Faculty and Department levels must include coordination with the Faculty Council and Faculty Team.

3.2.2.1. Objectives of the measure

To clearly define the responsibilities of each party in coordinating the implementation of common tasks of the Faculty and Department; to increase the participation of the Faculty's trade union and trade union groups in faculties and departments in managing professional activities.

3.2.2.2. Contents of the measure

Faculty is a professional unit of a university; department is a professional unit of a faculty in a university. The faculty manages lecturers, other employees and students of the faculty according to the decentralization of the principal as well as plans and organizes the implementation of educational and training activities according to the general plan of the school. The department is responsible for the content, quality and teaching progress of the subjects assigned in the training program and the general teaching plan of the school and the faculty [14]. Therefore, it can be affirmed that the faculty and department are the places where the professional activities of the school directly take place.

A departmental union is a collection of union groups in a specialized department or a functional department. Union groups are places to gather and unite union members with different levels of expertise and profession in the school into a unified block to ensure the successful implementation of the school's political tasks. Each union group gathers union members with different professional skills but has relatively unified functions and tasks and, moreover, they live and work together in a unit of the school.

Each department, division, faculty, and team has its own functions, tasks, and has its own professional and technical characteristics. In order for the Union activities to be effective, the school's grassroots union has established departmental unions and union groups to gather the number of employees working in all departments, faculties, and teams to participate in union activities. This is a model suitable for the characteristics of a school with a relatively large number of union members and diverse in expertise and profession.

When developing professional management plans in faculties and departments, there are often annual plans, school year plans, semester plans, course plans, classes, etc. Each plan depends on the school's goals for that year and the tasks to implement those goals. The plan must reflect the assigned tasks and be consistent with the characteristics and actual situation of the school; balance between tasks, clearly state the key tasks, balance between needs and capabilities, content and measures; present specifically and clearly... The plan must state
