“Granite” administration ignores independent trade union
The
administration of the Mikashevichy enterprise “Granite” refused to provide office
room for the independent trade union, though its members addressed a member of
the lower chamber of the Parliament Larysa Vershalovich with a request for
assistance in solving this issue.
As it follows from the answer of the enterprise administration to her inquiry,
office room is provided only for an “acting trade union”. According to the head
of the independent trade union organization, Aleh Stakhayevich (fired from the
plant because of his civil activism), everything possible has been done for
receiving a room, but there is still no result. At present this case is being
considered by the International Labor Organization. Mr. Stakhayevich hopes that
the head of “Granite” administration will listen to the conclusions of this
international institution.
According to Aleh Stakhayevich, the official (pro-governmental) trade union has
no problems with receiving office room. According to its information, it has got 40 primary units registered since the beginning of 2012, whereas independent
trade unions haven’t obtained the state registerion even for one such unit since 1996.
