I. Basic information of retired cadres in party member
There are 1,46 retired cadres in our county, and 63 retired cadres in the county retired cadre management center, including 26 retired party member, 529 retired party member and 48 retired party member. It can be said that the ranks of retired cadres have developed rapidly. In the early days of the establishment of the cadre retirement system in 1982, there were only about 2 retired cadres in county-level organs and institutions, and now there are over 1,, which is nearly seven times. From the age point of view, retired cadres are basically between the ages of 8 and 9, and most of them are in deteriorating health and inconvenient to move; At the same time, the number of cadres who leave their posts early has increased year by year, and the overall structure of retired cadres has changed greatly. Retired cadres have become the main body and their age structure is getting younger and younger. In terms of qualifications, there are old revolutions who participated in revolutionary wars, fought bloody battles and ushered in the birth of new China, and old leaders and veteran comrades who have worked hard and made great contributions to various undertakings in Changhai; From the point of view of retirement time, some have left their jobs for twenty or thirty years, while others have only been two or three months. Old party member is also scattered, with 41 people living in counties and towns, 196 people living in downtown Dalian and 6 people living in other provinces and cities.
Second, the new situation and new problems faced by the ideological and political work of retired cadres in our county
In recent years, the county party committee and the county government have attached great importance to the work of veteran cadres, and with the overall economic and social progress, they have provided better conditions for the rapid development of the work of veteran cadres. At the same time, under the new situation of deepening various reforms, there are some problems that can't be ignored in the ideological and political work of veteran cadres, such as the old methods are ineffective, the new methods are hard to find, the soft methods are hard to use, and the hard methods are hard to use. The reasons are various, mainly including: First, the work of veteran cadres presents a diversified situation, from the original three basic tasks of implementing political treatment, implementing living treatment and playing a role, it has now expanded to meet spiritual and cultural needs and ideological and political work in breadth and depth; Second, there are many imbalances in the development of veteran cadres' work, such as the imbalance between retired cadres' work and retired cadres' work, and the imbalance between retired cadres' work in government institutions and enterprises. Third, there is a lack of unified norms in the work content and working methods of retired cadres' management services; Fourth, the leaders of some former work units of retired cadres did not pay enough attention to the ideological and political work of retired cadres. They always thought that the work of catching retired cadres was to express their condolences on holidays, and they did not care enough at ordinary times, ignoring the spiritual needs of retired cadres such as understanding politics and eager to communicate; Fifth, the ideological and political work of some retired cadres' party branches is not specific, and they often engage in abstract theories and solve problems with practice less, which is not attractive to veteran cadres; Sixth, the methods of ideological and political work are not flexible. In carrying out ideological and political work, some retired cadres' party branches often simply organize veteran cadres to study documents, listen to reports, collect party dues, and lead an organizational life. The methods are dogmatic and cannot adopt new methods according to the new characteristics of veteran cadres in the new period; Seventh, the overall quality of the veteran cadres in the county needs to be further improved, and there are problems such as low level of policy theory, outdated concepts and insufficient emancipation of thoughts, which leads to poor understanding and explanation of the work of veteran cadres under the new situation and unconvincing of various questions raised by veteran cadres. Therefore, ideological and political work among veteran cadres is not strong enough, deep enough and ineffective.
Third, adapt to the new situation, expand new ways, and strengthen and improve the ideological and political work of veteran cadres
In view of the above problems, we need to continue to practice and explore effective methods in future work.
(a) the ideological and political work runs through solving the practical problems of retired cadres. Taking the implementation of the "two treatments" for veteran cadres as the carrier, according to the ideological reality of retired cadres, grasping their concerns about wages, housing reform, medical reform and other issues, and doing a good job in education and guidance will have a multiplier effect. To this end, we must focus on the following four tasks: first, through organizing symposiums and study days for retired cadres' party branches, let old comrades talk freely and reflect practical difficulties and problems; Second, warmly receive visiting retirees, and report the problems reflected by visits, letters and calls to the county party Committee, county government and relevant departments in a timely manner through the establishment of suggestion boxes, director reception days, and the issuance of consultation forms; Third, adhere to the visiting condolence system, and offer timely condolences to retired cadres who are hospitalized. On major festivals, leaders will lead a team to express condolences to old party member and veteran cadres. For example, in the past two years, party member, party member, retired cadres and their widows, and county-level retired cadres in our county have been given solatium and condolences (equivalent to) about 2, yuan. At the same time, for the old cadres who are old, frail and inconvenient to move, we have carried out the activity of "twinning families to support the elderly" for five consecutive years, which has played a positive role in the ideological stability of the old cadres.
(2) Give full play to the role of Party branches of retired cadres in ideological and political work. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of party branches, select good teams and give full play to their roles as loudspeakers and silencers in the ideological and political work of veteran cadres. For example, our county has set up 15 retired cadres' party branches (11 in Changhai and 4 in Dalian) according to the old party member's residence and the original work industry system. In all previous general elections, party member, a former leading cadre with good comprehensive quality, strong organizational ability, high prestige and good health, was selected as the secretary of the Party branch. Secondly, in the selection of branch committees, we should elect party member, an old man with good democratic style, strong party spirit, dedication and good example, so that the Party branch can always maintain a good leader and a strong and United team. For example, twice a year, our county takes the form of party branch work exchange meetings to carry out business training activities for branch committees of retired cadres, and adopts the way of going out for training activities, and has organized branch committees to go to Yang Jiacun, Haxian Island, Anbo and other places in Dachangshan Island Town to carry out training and learning activities in a leisure way. Since 212, branch committees have been organized to study abroad in batches, which has broadened their horizons, stimulated their work enthusiasm and initiative, and enhanced the cohesiveness and combat effectiveness of party organizations.
(3) Strengthen the construction of ideological education positions for veteran cadres. The content of ideological and political work should be in line with the reality of retired cadres in party member, which should not only adhere to the advanced nature, but also reflect the adaptation to diversification and stratification. In practice, our county strives to do a good job in the management service of the activity center for veteran cadres and the teaching quality of the university for veteran cadres, give full play to the role of the front, and persist in carrying out rich and colorful organizational activities and cultural and sports activities that are novel in content and suitable for the interests and characteristics of old comrades, such as holding various party class counseling lectures, large-scale reports and public welfare lectures. Since 212, we have held three centralized learning sessions on "Publicity and Implementation of the Spirit of the 18th CPC National Congress", one lecture entitled "18th CPC National Congress with Minors" and one large-scale public lecture on "Struggle for Building a Civilized and Moral Harmonious Society". Organize the chorus of veteran cadres to carry out the activities of "learning and singing red songs", and participated in many large-scale cultural square performances held by the county and two red song chorus activities organized by the veteran cadres in the city; A study garden was set up on the wall of the lobby on the first floor of the activity center, and old comrades were organized to write reminiscence articles, experience and poems for regular display, and columns such as "Work Style Construction Year" were also set up according to the educational situation in party member. In addition, in October 212, with 1 members of the calligraphy group of the University of Retired Veteran Cadres as the backbone, the organization department of Liaoning Provincial Party Committee organized and participated in the "Collection of Calligraphy, Painting and Photography Works to Welcome the 18th National Congress", and two works won the third prize and the Excellence Award respectively; In March of this year, he also organized and participated in the "People's Book Integrity" activity carried out by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. By giving full play to the role of education, the attraction and cohesion of ideological and political work have been enhanced, a good atmosphere for creating a new departmental culture has been created, and the social influence and popularity of retired cadres have been improved.
(4) Grasp the spiritual needs of veteran cadres in the new period and actively build a platform for ideological and political work. It is necessary to organically combine the ideological and political work of veteran cadres with flexible and diverse thematic practice activities, and actively build a platform for ideological and political work, such as organizing retired cadres to have more social contacts and broaden their horizons, so that veteran comrades can witness the great achievements made in reform, opening up and modernization and the fact that people's lives are becoming richer. For example, our county regularly organizes old cadres to inspect the economic development in the county, and organizes old cadres in counties and towns to carry out the activity of "seeing the new long sea from the old long sea" every spring. Each branch also changed the form of party classes. During the July 1st period, Old party member was organized to visit the Changshan Bridge under construction by bus. At the same time, organize retired cadres to go out for recuperation and sightseeing, and fully enjoy the fruits of reform and opening up.
5) Put "a sense of worthiness" throughout the ideological and political work, and make efforts to organize and guide veteran cadres to play their roles. It is necessary to strengthen the organization and guidance of retired cadres to play their roles. On the subject of playing a role, pay attention to the transfer to retired cadres; In the field of playing its role, we should pay attention to shifting to the social field, especially to building a harmonious society and caring for and educating the next generation, and effectively unify the ideological understanding of retired cadres with the spirit of the 18th Party Congress and the 14th Party Congress of counties and counties, so as to make them a positive force to understand and support the implementation of the decisions of county committees and counties. It is necessary to organize and guide retired party member cadres to safeguard the overall situation and make suggestions for economic and social development; Organize and guide retired party member cadres to actively participate in various theme education activities carried out within the Party, strive for Excellence in political study, strive for Excellence in spiritual civilization construction, and strive for Excellence in caring for and educating the next generation. It is necessary to guide retired party member cadres to be enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings, strive to be an example of "good family relations and harmonious neighborhoods", and wholeheartedly promote the construction of a harmonious society; Guide retired party member cadres to be supervisors and staff officers in government work. At present, more than 4 old comrades in our county have joined the volunteer team of Guan Gong, and 6 old comrades have formed a report group of county veteran cadres, who have gone deep into primary and secondary schools and communities to give reports to students and parents. Among them, 2 of them have been hired as the keynote speakers of the Dalian Municipal Party Committee's lecturer group, and made reports on the party history for thousands of retired party member cadres and nearly 2, teachers and students from 4 primary and secondary schools in the activity of "Learning Party History and Telling Stories". In 212, our county held the 18th National Congress of "Sunset Stars Offering Gifts" and conducted the "Sunset Stars" appraisal among retired cadres in party member, and * * * selected 16 "Sunset Stars for Glory", "Sunset Stars for Civilization", "Sunset Stars for Theoretical Learning" and "Sunset Stars for Style".
(6) comprehensively improve the overall quality of veteran cadres. Veteran cadres are the main body of ideological and political work for veteran cadres. The political and ideological quality and professional ability of veteran cadres directly affect the effect of ideological and political work for veteran cadres. To this end, veteran cadres must strengthen policy and business study, improve their ability to perform their duties, and strive to do well in three aspects: first, they often go deep into the veteran cadres to conduct research, understand the warmth and coldness of the veteran cadres with deep feelings, and extend ideological and political work to their families; Second, combine patient persuasion with strengthening management, combine management with service, treat people with sincerity, convince people with reasoning, and carry out activities such as "being a caring person for veteran cadres"; Third, adhere to the standard of "four hearts" ("filial piety, love, patience, peace of mind"), start from the key and difficult issues that veteran cadres care about, and combine enthusiastic service and patient education with solving practical problems. We should not only do the icing on the cake, but also do a good job of giving timely help in the snow, so that veteran cadres can understand profound truth from the implementation of their vital interests.
In short, the ideological and political work of retired cadres is a long-term and complicated work. Facing new situations and new problems, we must keep up with the times, keep pace with the times, explore new ways, and promote the healthy development of the ideological and political work of retired cadres.
