On February 24–25, at a strategic session of the Youth Council of the Trade Union of Railwaymen and Transport Construction Workers of Ukraine, considerable attention was paid to changes in labor legislation, in particular the possible risks in the event of the adoption of the draft Labor Code of Ukraine.
Oleksandr Shubin, General Secretary of the Federation of Transport Trade Unions of Ukraine, spoke on this issue. He outlined the position of the FTTU, noting that the Federation does not support certain provisions of the draft TKU and has already submitted its comments and proposals on it. Other draft laws on social and labor relations and their possible risks for employees were also discussed during the speech.
The participants actively sought details and asked additional questions about the draft Labor Code, particularly regarding fixed-term employment contracts, occupational safety issues, guarantees for employees with children, etc. The discussion took place in the format of an open and constructive dialogue.
