The trade union appealed to the Parliament, in particular regarding Article 11 of the Law of Ukraine No. 2136-IX
Trade Union of Railwaymen and Transport Construction Workes of Ukraine appealed to the Parliamentary Committees, in particular, regarding Article 11 of the Law of Ukraine ‘On the Organisation of Labour Relations under Martial Law’ of 15.03.2022 No. 2136-IX, which provides that during the period of martial law, certain provisions of the collective agreement may be suspended at the initiative of the employer.
We have provided specific proposals for amending this article to make it impossible for the employer to make a sole decision to suspend certain provisions of collective agreements.
In our appeal, we once again reminded the people’s deputies that Law No. 2136-IX, which is of great social importance for employees, was considered and adopted by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine within ONE DAY.
We also reiterated that this law introduced social injustice to railway workers. Railway workers need rehabilitation and treatment in the same way as teachers and civil servants, who are entitled to financial assistance for rehabilitation under martial law. Instead, railway workers are restricted by the unilateral decision of the Board of Ukrzaliznytsia.
Thus, Trade union, with its suggestions on amendments to Article 11 of the Law of Ukraine No. 2136-IX, proposed a way to correct this social injustice against railway workers, of course, with the obligatory subsequent repayment of all debts to employees by the employer.
But DO NOT FORGET – YOUR PETITION SIGNATURE is also an effective tool, if this article in the Law can be cancelled at all.
If we all sign it, we can repeal it once and for all!
