今年是我国工会组织成立80周年,也是国务院确定的五年一度的劳模评选表彰年。“五一”期间,中央及北京市都召开了劳模表彰大会,表彰全国及北京市劳动模范和先进工作者。劳模,即劳动模范的简称。劳模就是社会遴选出的最好的、最鼓励人们仿效的劳动者。劳模的价值就在于劳模是社会先进生产力的代表,是推动时代前进的强大动力,是伟大民族精神的重要体现。 This year marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of trade unions in our country. It is also the year in recognition of the five-year model worker award set by the State Council. During the “May Day”, the Central Government and Beijing Municipality held a model worker’s commendation ceremony to honor model workers and advanced workers in the whole country and in Beijing. Model workers, that labor model for short. The model laborer is the best one selected by society and the one most encouraged by people to imitate. The value of a model worker lies in that a model worker is a representative of the advanced social productive forces, a powerful driving force for advancing the times, and an important embodiment of the great national spirit.
