On 19 July 2022, in the middle of a war, the Ukrainian parliament
adopted Draft Law 5371, which abolished labour rights for 94% of
Ukrainian workers.
This law introduced extreme liberalisation of labour relations,
depriving workers of union protection.
The Ukrainian trade unions actively opposed this anti-labour draft law
for two years.
But despite many warnings from the International Trade Union
Confederation, the European Trade Union Confederation, and the
International Labour Organization, the Ukrainian parliament adopted it.
This new law will lead to a massive violation of workers' rights -- and
Ukrainian unions are asking for our help and support in telling
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to veto the law.
Please take a moment to show your support for the Ukrainian workers
today -- tell President Zelensky to veto the law - click here.
And please share this message with your friends, family and fellow trade
unionists.
Thank you! |
