ARMENIAN TRADE UNIONS ARE LITTLE INDEPENDENCE AND SELF-RELIANCE, MP SAYS
YEREVAN, June 4. / ARKA /. The main problem of Armenian trade unions
is their insufficient independence and self-reliance, Elinar Vardanyan,
chairman of a parliament standing committee on human rights and public
affairs, told ARKA before a parliamentary hearing on how trade unions
could operate independently.
"The real problem is that the existing trade unions are structures
which were inherited from the former Soviet Union; they are not
independent and self-reliant because of imperfect law,' she said.
The purpose of the hearing is to voice the problems of trade
unions, she said adding that before this hearing the MPs met with
representatives of some trade unions who raised their most pressing
problems requiring quick solution.
Vardanyan expressed hope that the hearing would result in a set of
proposals that would guarantee the activities of trade unions.
"If the proposals appear to be legislative, we will try to find
solutions in the National Assembly. If they require specific mechanisms
we will ask the government for a support,' she said. -0-
