ILO asked to intervene over new legislation

Ukraine

The ITUC along with the national confederations - FPU and KVPU - have written to the International Labour Organisation to raise serious concerns about draft legislation that has just passed through its first reading in parliament. The Confederations argue that, if passed, the legislation will undermine trade union autonomy and restrict international union democracy. The joint letter calls for an evaluation by the ILO on the basis that the law would conflict Convention 87 on the freedom of association. The joint trade union body has also written to the chair of the parliament setting out the issues in more detail.
