2. Maintenance function: It is the basic duty of the trade union to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of workers. Because the subject of labor relations is subordinate and the laborer belongs to the employer, it is obvious that in the contradiction between the laborer and the employer, the laborer is the weak and the protected object.

This is one of the most realistic and effective methods. Trade unions safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of workers, which is the flesh-and-blood connection between the party and the people, the overall situation of stability and the ruling position and foundation of the ruling party.
