Under the new situation that the organizational form, management, employment and distribution mode of enterprises are diversified, and various contradictions and interest relations tend to be complicated, whether it is possible to further strengthen the vitality construction of grass-roots trade unions and continuously enhance the adaptability and effectiveness of their work is the requirement of implementing the work policy of "organizing and earnestly safeguarding rights" and also the need of adhering to the development path of socialist trade unions with Chinese characteristics.

1 To strengthen the vitality of grass-roots trade unions, we must actively strive for the leadership and support of grass-roots party organizations.

1. 1 Grassroots trade unions should actively strive for the leadership of grassroots party organizations.

Trade unions are mass organizations of the working class under the leadership of the Party, and the nature of trade union organizations determines that grass-roots trade unions should accept the leadership of grass-roots party organizations. Although grass-roots party organizations and grass-roots trade unions are different in nature, they are both class organizations of the working class, so they are consistent with trade unions in their basic goals, tasks and purposes. Grass-roots party organizations must also bear important responsibilities in enhancing the vitality of grass-roots trade unions.

This is mainly reflected in the following aspects: first, grass-roots party organizations play a political core role, support and respect workers' status as the main body and masters at the grass-roots level, and support and respect the role of trade unions in democratic management and supervision at the grass-roots level; Second, implement unified leadership over grass-roots trade unions, ensure that grass-roots trade unions can work independently, support and guide grass-roots trade unions to keep close contact with the masses, and gradually realize popularization and democratization through reform; Third, correctly solve the problems reflected by trade unions and workers, give play to party member's vanguard and exemplary role in trade union organizations, improve the prestige and appeal of trade unions, and give full play to its role; Fourth, manage, use and train trade union cadres well, strengthen the construction of trade union leadership, and recommend and select powerful cadres to do grass-roots trade union work.

Because grass-roots party organizations have an important responsibility in enhancing the vitality of grass-roots trade unions, grass-roots trade unions should consciously follow the principle of accepting the dual leadership of grass-roots party organizations and superior trade unions and giving priority to the leadership of grass-roots party organizations. Major issues in the work of grass-roots trade unions must be submitted to party organizations for discussion in time. These major issues include: implementing the instructions of the CPC Central Committee on trade union work and implementing the opinions and measures of important resolutions of higher-level trade unions; Important matters such as the plan for convening a member congress, the work report of the trade union, and the staffing of cadres; The annual plan of the trade union, involving major activities and major work arrangements of the overall situation of the unit; Major issues in self-construction and reform; Outstanding problems affecting the stability of workers and their countermeasures.
