First, the current situation of production and management of state-owned forest farms has constantly spawned ideological and political work problems.
Due to the particularity of the industry and the need of forestry construction, most forestry builders of state-owned forest farms have been active in remote mountainous areas with inconvenient transportation, difficult working conditions and relatively closed information for a long time, doing unknown forest protection work. The continuous development and progress of society has little influence on the state-owned forest farms established in the 1940s and 1950s, and the vast number of forest farm workers still face various problems that are difficult to solve. First, the management system is not smooth. For a long time, the state has identified state-owned forest farms as state-owned institutions that implement enterprise management, and their funds are self-supporting. Second, the operating mechanism is not flexible. Third, the infrastructure investment in forest farms is seriously insufficient, resulting in some infrastructure such as power supply, water supply, communication, renovation of dangerous houses, house management and protection, and roads in forest areas. , which is dilapidated and in urgent need of reconstruction or reconstruction. Fourth, the economic situation of the forest farm is poor and the burden is too heavy. Fifth, the treatment of workers is low, especially the basic life of many laid-off workers is difficult to guarantee; The wages of on-the-job employees are generally lower than the average social wage level. Sixth, the ideological concept lags behind. The concept of many workers still stays in the planned economy era of chopping wood and selling firewood to protect grain. The "iron rice bowl" has not really been taken away, and the idea of not making progress is widespread. As for the development of the forest farm, it has nothing to do with itself, and the idea of waiting, relying on and being important is serious. The above problems have not been effectively solved for a long time, and the workers' thoughts are constantly changing, which makes the ideological and political work in forest farms more difficult.
Second, the problems faced by ideological and political work in forest farms under the transformation of old and new systems and mechanisms
With the deepening of forestry reform, the reform of state-owned forest farms is also proceeding in an orderly manner. The old system should be broken and the new operating mechanism should be started. In this state of transformation between old and new systems and mechanisms, workers' thoughts are constantly fluctuating. The changing trend and characteristics are mainly manifested in: complex ideological understanding, changeable ideological concepts, profit-seeking value orientation and concern for the reform of state-owned forest farms. The constant fluctuation of workers' thoughts leads to many difficulties in ideological and political work in forest farms.
1, it is difficult to form stable social knowledge in ideological and political work. Some comrades believe that the market economy depends on the law of value, and ideological and political work is powerless in the market economy. Some comrades believe that due to the change of social value orientation, the role of material interests adjustment is getting bigger and bigger, and the role of ideological and political work is getting smaller and smaller; Some comrades believe that forest farms belong to production units, and it is enough to complete afforestation tasks and achieve economic growth, and ideological and political work is dispensable. These thoughts and public opinion environment have brought great troubles to the ideological and political work of state-owned forest farms at present.
2. The effect of ideological and political work and the role of economic relations are facing thinking. At present, the way of inner-party activities in forest farms does not adapt to the internal management characteristics of forest farms. Party organizations at all levels have relatively frequent living hours and rigid forms, so it is difficult to carry out inner-party activities in accordance with the time, frequency, content and methods required by internal party laws and regulations. Within the forest farm, the influence of economic relations on workers is more real and direct than political relations. In terms of means, ideological and political work focuses on non-power influence and ideological guidance, while some practical problems cannot be solved by reasoning alone. On the contrary, the factory director has certain financial power, the power to solve practical problems in the material and cultural life of employees and the favorable conditions to solve practical problems. Therefore, sometimes the opinions and needs of workers are reflected to the party committees (branches) and have not been solved for a long time, which makes some people think that ideological and political work cannot solve practical problems.
3. There are deviations in employees' understanding of the role of ideological and political work. At present, ideological and political work faces three major challenges. First of all, many negative social factors offset the achievements of ideological and political work, making it difficult to play its role. Such as unfair income distribution, money worship, hedonism and corruption of a few leading cadres. It often impacts people's world outlook, outlook on life and values, and the painstaking education of ideological and political workers goes up in smoke. Second, ideological and political work lacks material carriers, which leads to the disconnection between ideological work in forest farms and helping workers solve practical difficulties. Thirdly, the effectiveness of ideological and political work has the characteristics of indirectness, potentiality and accumulation, which is not as direct, realistic and quick as material rewards, making people have the illusion of the role of ideological and political work, and think that ideological and political work is like an umbrella, "it is useless in sunny days and rainy days".
4. Political cadres feel helpless about the application of ideological and political work methods, and employees don't recognize it. At present, party member cadres in forest farms, especially leading cadres, have the idea of "first-class and second-class", and their work is arranged by their superiors. Their activities are supported by funds, their methods follow the tradition and they lack in-depth application of modern scientific and technological achievements. In recent years, the improvement and innovation of ideological and political work in forest farms are often "more documents, less implementation", more ideas and less operation methods. In this way, ideological and political workers feel that they have worked hard and done nothing, and employees feel bored.
5. The aging problem of ideological and political work team is serious. Secret-related cadres are the backbone of ideological and political work in forest farms, but they have not been trained for a long time, their knowledge is aging and their quality is weakened, which makes the improvement and innovation of ideological and political work lack internal motivation. Under the condition of market economy, political cadres lack compound talents who understand politics, economy, management, management and prestige. Most of the political cadres in state-owned forest farms are part-time, and there are many jobs, so they don't have enough time and energy to do ideological and political work well.
Third, the problems and countermeasures of ideological and political work in forest farms under the new situation
Under the conditions of reform and opening up and socialist market economy, to strengthen and improve the ideological and political work of state-owned forest farms, we need to keep pace with the times, innovate, constantly endow ideological and political work with the connotation of the times, and improve the effectiveness and appeal of ideological and political work.
1. Leading cadres should take the lead, adhere to the spirit of dedication, emancipate their minds and change their concepts.
Only by taking the lead, further emancipating their minds and changing their concepts can the leading cadres and political cadres in forest farms adapt to the requirements of the socialist market economy, play a leading and ensuring role and get rid of the predicament of no status. Establish the concept of "combining management with service, doing something but not doing something", sincerely serve the development of forest farms, win the support of workers with fruitful work, and make the authority of ideological and political work based on effective service. Practice has proved that measuring the effect of ideological and political work mainly depends on whether the ideological and political work is close to the reality of forest farm workers and whether it really solves the existing ideological problems. This is the key for us to solve the ideological problems of cadres in party member. The appeal and persuasiveness of ideological and political work are often the good image, noble personality and exemplary role of leading cadres in party member. The farmer summed up a sentence, "village to village, household to household, and the masses to cadres." This has important reference significance for ideological and political work. It is precisely according to the words and deeds of leading cadres that the workers and the masses judge who is the faithful executor of the party's line and policies and who is the fundamental representative of the interests of the masses, so as to sincerely believe who. A leading group with a strong sense of professionalism, responsibility, lofty ideals and noble moral sentiments, and a style of justice, honesty, introspection and self-discipline is bound to have strong cohesion, appeal and appeal, and will certainly be able to unite and struggle, share weal and woe, and forge ahead. This requires leading cadres in forest farms to treat fame and fortune more "self-centered"; Treat career work, a little more "forget me"; Treat your shortcomings and faults with more "non-self". To this end, we should be good at learning, be willing to contribute, take our vision as our home, regard our employees as our parents, always listen to our voices, care about our sufferings, solve problems, be strict with ourselves, be diligent and thrifty, be honest and honest, and be truly selfless and fearless. This is the most convincing ideological and political work.
2, give full play to the advantages of trade unions, and actively solve problems for the masses of workers.
As a mass organization of forest farm workers, trade unions represent the interests of forest farm workers and have mass advantages. The social functions of trade unions are mainly in four aspects: maintenance, construction, participation and education. These four functions are interrelated and interpenetrated. The maintenance function of trade unions gives trade union organizations and trade union cadres the power to speak and act for employees. Through maintenance, we can effectively speak for the workers, help them to do things, and relieve their worries and difficulties, so as to better protect, mobilize and give play to the enthusiasm and creativity of the forest farm workers and guide them to complete the central task of the forest farm. We can do a good job in ideological and political work when all kinds of problems are budding, when solving all kinds of problems, in all kinds of trade union work and in peacetime propaganda, as the position of ideological and political work and ideological education.
3, adhere to the people-oriented, understand the sufferings of workers, solve problems and resolve contradictions.
Most of the objects of ideological and political work in state-owned forest farms are workers who have lived in mountainous areas for a long time. Their living conditions are relatively poor, their comprehensive quality is relatively low, and their livelihood problems are more prominent. Therefore, state-owned forest farms should embody the principle of people-oriented in ideological and political work, resolve contradictions and misunderstandings through care, help and understanding, and show affection for people. People-oriented and fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of employees are the basis for doing a good job in ideological and political work. Political cadres in forest farms are defenders and representatives of workers' interests. They must firmly establish the idea that everything is for the forest farm workers, always put the interests of the workers first, keep close contact with the workers, actively speak for the workers, realize, safeguard and develop the fundamental interests of the workers, and stimulate the team fighting capacity of the workers, which is closely related to the honor and disgrace of the forest farm. Cadres should always go deep into the grass roots and workers, understand their sufferings, listen to their voices and reflect their opinions or suggestions to the on-site departments in time. Insist that employees who have difficulties must visit, employees must visit when they are hospitalized, and employees must visit when they die to help them solve problems. We must persist in putting people first, solve problems in production, life and thought, improve people's ideological consciousness and enhance the timeliness and effectiveness of ideological and political work. By doing a good job in ideological and political work, we can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of workers and the masses, continuously improve the economic benefits of forest farms and promote the harmonious development of forest farms. Only internal harmony can constitute external harmony, implement the spirit of the 18th CPC National Congress, adhere to Scientific Outlook on Development, and promote the harmonious and stable development of forest farms.
4. Keep pace with the times, innovate constantly, change the carrier of ideological and political work, and improve the quality of political cadres themselves.
The key to strengthen and improve the ideological and political work of state-owned forest farms lies in connecting with the reality of forest farms, improving working methods and constantly exploring and innovating. Only according to the requirements of the development of the situation, combined with the forest farm's own situation, do a good job in ideological and political work. Before the ideological and political work is carried out, we should go deep into the grass-roots front line, have heart-to-heart talks with the cadres and workers at the grass-roots level, listen to the voices of the workers, understand the people's thoughts and grasp the most real ideological situation and the real needs of the grass-roots personnel through experiencing life, visiting, holding symposiums and setting up suggestion boxes.
With the establishment of the socialist market economic system and the deepening of the reform and development of forest farms, the traditional carrier and narrow position of ideological and political work have been stretched, making it difficult to take on heavy responsibilities. It is urgent to open up new horizons, expand new positions and find new carriers. To this end, we should do a good job in three aspects: First, take extensive and in-depth development of colorful, healthy and beneficial eco-cultural construction activities as the new carrier, combine education with sports (education), literature (art) and entertainment, and strive to realize the organic combination of ideological and political work and eco-cultural construction. The second is to take strict scientific management as a new carrier of ideological and political work and strive to realize the combination of the two. Third, vigorously publicize and use modern propaganda tools. The transformation of the carrier of ideological and political work will inevitably promote the improvement of the quality of political cadres themselves. In order to adapt to the change of carrier, political cadres should strengthen their study and strive to cultivate and bring up themselves as compound talents who understand politics, economy, management and prestige. The improvement of one's own quality will inevitably enhance the ability to do a good job in ideological and political work.
5. Adhere to the principle of paying equal attention to material incentives and spiritual incentives, and combining specific business with ideological and political work to effectively enhance the effectiveness of ideological and political work.
Material interests are the material motive force of people's social activities, and material needs are people's basic needs. Only when ideological and political work enables people to realize their social values in tangible material benefits can they better stimulate people's enthusiasm for work. Only by combining specific business with ideological and political work, solving ideological problems with solving practical problems, and combining education with management can the effectiveness of ideological and political work be enhanced. Specifically, the first is to carry out various theoretical, legal and professional ethics learning and education activities to continuously improve the ideological and political quality of employees. Second, in the process of strengthening and perfecting the democratic management system and giving full play to employees' participation in management affairs, we should guide forest farm employees to have correct ideological orientation, do a good job in explaining various situations and resolve various contradictions. Third, we should do a good job in ideological and political work in practical problems. We should give priority to safeguarding the fundamental interests of the workers and the masses in forest farms. The specific work is to effectively solve various problems in the real life of employees, starting with the problems that employees are most concerned about and most closely related to their interests, and putting ideological work into the hearts of employees. Through poverty alleviation, send warm, student assistance, fixed-point assistance and other work, combined with the ideological reality of employees, solve doubts and dispel doubts and ease emotions. It is necessary to effectively solve the life problems among employees and do a good job in ideological and political work in the process of solving problems. Fourth, ideological education should be combined with management. Ideological education must be combined with moral education and legal means. In the process of ideological and political work, we should guide workers to study law, deal with various problems according to law, and do a good job in management according to law. In particular, to deal with some specific problems, it is necessary to have a legal and institutional basis, and on this basis, do a good job in the ideological and political work of forest farm workers.
