Is the trade union a civil servant or a career establishment?

It is neither a civil servant establishment nor a career establishment.

The main duties of trade unions include participating in enterprise decision-making on behalf of employees, supervising the implementation of labor laws and regulations in enterprises, safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of employees, and organizing employees to participate in labor competitions and cultural activities. By performing these duties, trade unions not only help to protect the rights and interests of employees, but also help to promote the harmonious relationship between enterprises and employees, thus promoting the stable development of enterprises and the harmonious progress of society.

Third, the difference between trade unions and civil servants and career establishment.

Although trade unions, civil servants and career establishment all play an important role in their respective fields, there are obvious differences between them. First of all, in nature, trade unions are mass organizations, while civil servants and institutions are components of state organs and public service institutions. Secondly, from the point of view of responsibilities, trade unions mainly pay attention to the rights and interests of employees and the development of enterprises, while civil servants and career establishment assume the responsibilities of government management and public service respectively. Finally, from the perspective of personnel composition, trade union members are mainly composed of enterprise employees voluntarily, and civil servants and career establishment personnel are selected through recruitment.

To sum up:

Trade union is a social organization independent of the establishment of civil servants and career. It is composed of enterprise employees voluntarily, with the purpose of safeguarding the rights and interests of employees and promoting the development of enterprises. Compared with civil servants and career establishment, trade unions are obviously different in nature, responsibilities and personnel composition. Therefore, trade unions cannot be simply classified as civil service establishment or career establishment.
