In line with the Labor Code of the Republic of Armenia, the
RA Government, the Armenian Trade Unions Confederation and the
All-Republican Union of Armenian Employers signed a collective
agreement on extra guarantees and joint action for the streamlining
of welfare- and employment-related relations. The agreement was signed
by RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, President of the Armenian Trade
Unions Confederation Edward Tumasyan and Chairman of the All-Republican
Union of Armenian Employers Arsen Ghazaryan.
The collective agreement provides for sustainable development of
social and employment-related relations which in turn will promote
employment, dignified labor, social partnership and social cohesion
throughout the country.
The agreement is supposed to help design and implement labor- and
social protection-related policies, ensure broader social partnership
participation, as well as build up institutional and functional
capacity for domestic employers and trade unions.
To ensure proper compliance with contractual obligations, a special
commission will be set up on the principle of parity.
Extending c ongratulations on the signing of the agreement, Prime
Minister Tigran Sargsyan said in particular: "This is a long-awaited
arrangement which stems from numerous key principles stipulated in
international conventions.
It is supposed to provide for cohesion in our joint action. We thereby
undertake to cooperate and hold consultations on a regular basis. This
is a burning issue, especially as seen against the background
of the ongoing global crisis as employment grows into the threat
number one all over the world. Social tensions tend to grow amidst
declining economy, and this very factor gives extra significance to
this agreement. Today's signing indicates that the parties are well
aware of the threats facing Armenia and are prepared to address these
serious problems with joint efforts and coordinated policy."
The Prime Minister appreciated the contribution made by the Ministry of
Labor and Social Affairs to the drafting of this collective agreement.
The signing of the agreement was appreciated either by Edward Tumasyan,
Arsen Ghazaryan and RA Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Arsen
Hambardzumyan.
The All-Republican Collective Agreement will be effective up till
June 30, 2012.
