Skupina radnika EGSO-a
Ukrajinski parlament 23. veljače 2023. glasao je za zakon kojim se putem zaštite socijalnog dijaloga i kolektivnog pregovaranja jačaju socijalna prava. Riječ je o ključnoj etapi u zaštiti ukrajinskih radnika i pristupanju te zemlje EU-u.
Zakonom je propisano da su kolektivni ugovori obvezujući, sindikatima se jamči pravo na pregovaranje i štite se njihova prava i povlastice u kolektivnom pregovaranju i socijalnom dijalogu. Ujedno se od poslodavaca zahtijeva da unutar poduzeća osiguraju materijalnu i tehničku potporu za sindikalne aktivnosti, a financiranje aktivnosti i troškova povezanih s kolektivnim ugovorima uključeno je u obvezne i zaštićene troškove poduzeća. Zakonom se sindikatima daje i bitna uloga u mogućim promjenama uvjeta rada, uključujući pravo na veto na otpuštanje sindikalnih aktivista.
Zakon su podržale stranke iz cijelog političkog spektra ukrajinskog parlamenta, uz značajnu potporu centra i desnog centra. Skupina radnika stoji uz ukrajinski narod, sindikate i organizacije civilnog društva u njihovim nastojanjima za ostvarenje mira i socijalne pravde u zemlji pogođenoj ratom. Njihov je doprinos pružanju humanitarne pomoći i održavanju funkcioniranja gospodarstva, u teškim uvjetima i često uz rizik za osobnu sigurnost, neprocjenjiv. Imaju ključnu ulogu u obnovi Ukrajine, koja se mora zasnivati na potpunom poštovanju temeljnih prava radnika i radnica, građana i građanki. Riječ je o vrlo važnom koraku, ne samo za zaštitu radnika u Ukrajini nego i za proces pristupanja EU-u.
