1. Formation and Development Process
The predecessor of the Trade Union of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities was the Trade Union of Hanoi University. Along with the establishment of the Party Committee of Hanoi University, the Trade Union of Hanoi University was established in July 1958. The first provisional Executive Committee of the Trade Union was appointed by the Party Committee, with Comrade Pho Duc To (a staff member of the Faculty of Mathematics) as the Chief Secretary. He was the first Chairman of the Trade Union of Hanoi University.
On December 10, 1993, the Prime Minister signed Decree No. 97/CP establishing the Vietnam National University, Hanoi. In this Decree, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and the University of Natural Sciences were separated from the former Hanoi University.
On March 26, 1996, the Hanoi City Federation of Labor issued Decision No. 231/QD-TC establishing the grassroots trade union of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and the grassroots trade union of the University of Natural Sciences. In the 1995-1996 academic year, the Trade Union of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities officially became an independent trade union within a new organizational system – the Trade Union of Hanoi National University, with Comrade Do Quang Hung as its first chairman.
