Trade unions from Gomel Oblast, Shanghai to cooperate

GOMEL, 9 January (BelTA) – In 2020, Gomel Oblast's trade unions are planning to sign a cooperation agreement with the Shanghai Municipality on the Trade Union, BelTA has learned from the press service of the Gomel regional association of trade unions.

A delegation of the Gomel regional association of trade unions will visit Shanghai, China, in February-March to sign the cooperation agreement.

The preliminary talks took place in July 2019 when a delegation of the Shanghai Municipal Federation of Trade Unions visited Gomel. The guidelines for the further development of the international cooperation were mapped out during a roundtable hosted by the Gomel regional association of trade unions. The parties shared their experience in social protection of workers, occupational safety and health, and development of cultural tourism.

Belarus and China maintain strong ties in economic and social sectors. More than 500,000 primary trade union organizations with approximately 7 million members operate in Shanghai. The trade unions from Belarus and China are interested in sharing the experience. Many important projects can be implemented as a result of this cooperation.

In the first half of 2020, the regional association of trade unions is planning to take part in a number of international events. One of them is a seminar organized with the Kursk Oblast federation of trade union organizations, which will review the experience in the application of labor laws and providing social guarantees.

An online conference with representatives of the Bryansk Oblast trade union federation will take place in March to discuss the relevant matters of labor law and social benefits for workers.

The mission of the Gomel regional association of trade unions is to protect legitimate rights and interests of local workers. The organization also expands international ties.
