No public events were held on the Labor Day in Armenia on Tuesday.
The parliamentary election campaign is nearing completion. Armenia
will elect a new parliament on Sunday, May 6. Only the Communist
Party traditionally laid wreaths to the monuments to Bolshevik
revolutionaries Stepan Shaumian and Alexander Miasnikian and held a
rally, which had few participants.
The weather is hot and sunny in Yerevan, and many city residents used
the holiday to go to the countryside.
The Confederation of Armenian Trade Unions made a May 1 address to
stress the importance of "a rise of salaries and the solution of
problems of the minimal wage and the minimal consumer basket." "The
confederation keeps working on the worthy salaries and working
conditions," the address said.
"It is not a secret that the global financial and economic crisis has
had consequences for Armenia. The economic growth rates have slowed
down, the consumer ability and social allowances have declined and
living standards have decreased substantially. Being the defender
of working and other rights of people, trade unions are aware that
the solution of numerous social problems should be based on social
partnership and collective agreements," the confederation said.
