Shortage of specialized union members at the local trade union: The big problem need to be solved

As a senior, I have learned a lot about Vietnam's Trade Union, I see the biggest existence of trade unions today are:

1: The shortage of specialized union members
The majority of the union members officials today are experienced workers to do union president facility. They are not yet fully equipped with specialized knowledge of trade unions.
2. The local trade union activities are not really effective.
Local trade union also undertook too many administrative procedures are not necessary, not to focus on their main tasks which protect the legitimate rights and interests of the workers.
3. The local trade union depends too much on the leadership of the company and get paid directly from the company's leadership.

Some solution:

1. Additional specialized union members at the local unions.
Specialized union members have to focused on research, policy... updates knowledge about the laws to support the workers and advise the board of directors...
2. Focusing on the main tasks of which is to protect trade union rights, interests and legitimate worker's right.
3. Ignore the administrative procedure is not necessary that unions are shouldering basis.
