The conference opened with the solemn sound of the national anthem.

To begin the meeting, Yang Fubo delivered a report titled “2021 Trade Union Work Summary and 2022 Trade Union Work Plan for Xiangyu Salt & Chemical.” The report summarized the union’s work in 2021 from several aspects, including maintaining the correct guiding principles, fostering corporate culture, strengthening internal capacity building, uniting and leading employees, creating distinctive activities, and participating in public welfare initiatives. For 2022, the report outlined plans in eight key areas: further strengthening internal capacity building, deepening labor skills competitions, promoting the spirit of model workers and craftsmen, legally safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of employees, organizing distinctive cultural and sports activities, enhancing financial management, striving to become an exemplary “workers’ home,” and preparing for the upcoming trade union leadership transition.

Subsequently, Yang Runchao read out the “Decision on Commending Advanced Collectives and Individuals in Trade Union Work for 2021” and presented awards to the outstanding individuals and Worker Pioneer Teams that had been honored. Han Yufeng, head of the Energy Business Department, and Peng Lian, representative of the United Alkali Division and an outstanding employee, each delivered a speech on behalf of their respective groups.

Yuan Rutao delivered a speech titled “Carrying Forward the Spirit of Model Workers, Enhancing Work Skills, and Composing an Inspiring Song of Progress for Xiangyu Salt & Chemical.” On behalf of the company’s Party Committee, administration, and trade union, he extended warm congratulations to the outstanding collectives and individuals who were honored! He also extended festive greetings and heartfelt gratitude to all the cadres and employees who remain steadfastly committed to their posts in production and operations!

Yuan Rutao pointed out that 2022 will see the convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, mark the 20th anniversary of the establishment of Qingyan Group, be the first year since Xiangyu Salt & Chemical was incorporated into Xuetian Salt Industry as a listed company, and also the year in which the coal gasification energy-saving technology upgrade and renovation project is completed and put into operation. We must write a new chapter of high-quality development for Xiangyu Salt & Chemical. At the same time, he put forward three requirements for the next phase of work:
First, we must continue fostering a culture of hard work and dedication, pooling positive energy for high-quality development. All cadres and employees should deeply internalize the culture of “performance first, hard work as the foundation, and steadfast progress,” and relentlessly strive toward our goals: becoming the “practitioners” who establish the Group’s salt market presence as a “bridgehead” in Southwest China; the “pioneers” in industry safety and environmental protection; and the “innovators” among China’s top integrated alkali enterprises.
Second, we will focus on strengthening our skilled workforce and providing intellectual support for high-quality development. We will bolster our production and technological capabilities, fully fostering an environment that values both technology and talent. We will build a workforce that is knowledge-based, technology-driven, and innovation-oriented, and unite and mobilize cadres and employees to play a leading role in proactively integrating into the 14th Five-Year Plan development strategy and driving enterprise growth.
Third, we must wholeheartedly build an advanced “Workers’ Home” and foster a harmonious atmosphere conducive to high-quality development. Trade unions should regard organizing workers, guiding workers, serving workers, and safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests as their fundamental responsibilities. They should take sincere service to workers as the starting point and ultimate goal of all their work, unite workers, fully mobilize their enthusiasm, and truly become a “Workers’ Home” that workers can rely on. We must continuously enhance the sense of gain, happiness, and security among cadres and workers.

The conference calls on all cadres and employees to take the exemplary workers around them as role models, remain steadfastly loyal, maintain their passion for work and entrepreneurship, proactively assume responsibilities, and perform their duties diligently. Together, let us contribute our part to the company’s high-quality development and greet the successful convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China with outstanding achievements.
