What principles should trade unions adhere to when carrying out staff sports work?

(1) amateur voluntary principle. The main task of grass-roots units is to do a good job in production and business activities, and sports activities are only an amateur activity. Adhering to the amateur principle can make activities subordinate to and serve production, thus gaining the attention and support of enterprise leaders, facilitating the mobilization of employees and making activities mass. Adhere to the principle of voluntariness, that is, take the method of induction and attraction, organize sports activities that employees like, and attract employees to participate voluntarily, rather than compulsory. In fact, only the activities that employees voluntarily participate in can be lasting and can effectively serve the development of production and the health of employees.

(2) The principle of small but diverse. Sticking to small scale and diversification is conducive to making full use of spare time and venues, satisfying the interests of different employees, and attracting and organizing more employees to participate in sports activities. In practical work, "small" mainly means that the scale of activities should not be greedy, and more small and scattered activities should be carried out from the reality of factories and mines; And "diversification" attracts some employees with different requirements and hobbies with the diversification of content, so as to better achieve "due to people, time and place", flexibly facilitate the masses, and make employees' sports activities truly become mass activities;

(3) The principle of combining popularization with improvement. Popularization is the primary task of workers' sports work, but popularization and improvement are not antagonistic. In practical work, while emphasizing popularization, we should also pay attention to improvement. We should try our best to meet the requirements of workers for higher sports skills and improve the technical level of workers through their backbone counseling role;

(4) the principle of thrift. Conscientiously implement the party's policy of work-study program, mobilize and rely on the broad masses of workers, work hard on their own, create conditions, carry out activities, do more with less money as far as possible, and ensure the normal development of workers' sports work. First of all, we should rely on the masses to put the existing sports facilities in place, improve the utilization rate and meet the needs of mass activities. Secondly, we should make full use of all available conditions, organize mountaineering by relying on mountains, organize swimming by water, and simply carry out activities according to local conditions. In addition, when organizing sports competitions and awarding advanced prizes, we should conscientiously implement the principle of combining spiritual encouragement with material encouragement and giving priority to spiritual encouragement.
