/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia is required to introduce the practice of
developing social-labor relations as an effective tool promoting high
employment rate, social partnership and consent. "It's a work-style
practiced in many states," Eduard Toumasyan , RA Trade Union
Confederation Chairman, told a news-conference dedicated to May 1.
According to Mr. Toumasyan, the previous agreement between the RA
Government and Trade Union Confederation was signed in 1995, however,
the document remained on paper because of social hardships of the
given period. "In contrast to the previous document, this trilateral
agreement is based on labor legislation, and all parties will bear
responsibility in case of non-compliance," he noted.
The republican and collective agreement will contribute to labor
market development and protect employers' rights. Employment ads
setting age limits (e.g. looking for someone aged 20-30) will
no longer be permitted," Chairman of Trade Unions Confederation
stressed. Mr. Toumasyan finds that the trilateral agreement will
provide solution to many problems related to security norms and
labor organization, establishment of minimum permissible payment
limit and possibilities for salary increase, especially in time of
global crisis. "It's no secret that the global economic recession
negatively impacts situation on labor market, hence the document is
especially important in the present-day situation," Mr. Toumasyan said.
On April 27, 2009, the RA Government, Trade Union Confederation and
Republican Union of Armenian Employers signed a trilateral agreement
establishing extra guarantees regulating social-labor relations and
requiring Parties' joint action. The document was signed by RA Prime
Minister Tigran Sargsyan, Chairman of RA Trade Union Confederation
Union Eduard Toumasyan and Head of Republican Union of Employers
(manufacturers and entrepreneurs) Arsen Ghazaryab.
The Republican Collective Agreement will enter into force on April
30, 2012.
