Виктор Пинский рассказал о важности работы ВКП с международным законодательством

Main
Межпарламентское сотрудничество депутатов из разных стран Содружества независимых государств, их участие в совместных мероприятиях, помогают двигаться в сторону равных прав работников в государствах СНГ. Об этом глава Всеобщей конфедерации профсоюзов, председатель комиссии Госдумы по регламенту и обеспечению деятельности Виктор Пинский заявил в интервью для газеты «Солидарность». Как подчеркнул Пинский, ВКП принимает самое активное участие в этих процессах.

- Примерно четверть модельных правовых актов СНГ были разработаны с участием ВКП, то есть с учетом консолидированной позиции профсоюзов наших. Модельные правовые акты определяют направление развития законодательства в каждой конкретной сфере в наших странах. На их основе страны вносят изменения в свое национальное законодательство. И мое глубокое убеждение, что эта работа должна продолжаться при любом развитии событий, - уверен Виктор Пинский.

  • Viktor Pinsky: GCTU Should Play a Leading Role in Organizing Trade Union Education in the CIS

    Viktor Pinsky, Secretary General of the General Confederation of Trade Unions (GCTU), believes that the GCTU should take a leading role in developing a system for training, retraining, and upgrading the skills of personnel, exchanging experiences, and educating leaders and trade union activists across the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)

    "We already have successful experience in organizing trade union education. This year over 400 people from six countries participated in the GCTU’s first two educational programs. The idea to launch such programs came directly from the requests of our member organizations. Internships are another in-demand format, especially among young people. They provide an opportunity to personally visit international organizations and see their work from the inside," said Viktor Pinsky.

  • For trade unions, March 8 is not just a day of spring and renewal.

    For trade unions, March 8 is not just a day of spring and renewal.

    For trade unions, March 8 is not merely a day of spring and renewal. Above all, it is an opportunity to once again reflect on the role of women in the world of work and in global development as a whole. Today, women perform 55% of the world’s total labor. They work longer hours than men—by 6 to 13 hours per week—and still earn less: on average, women’s wages amount to 66–84% of men’s wages, depending on the country. There is objective evidence that the more a country values women’s labor and the smaller the gender pay gap, the more developed its economy. A special issue is the “invisibility” of women’s domestic and, as experts call it, reproductive labor. This is why trade unions should continue to fight for justice for working women.

    I congratulate all women of the CIS, my colleagues in the parliamentary corps, and women in trade unions on International Women’s Day. I wish you justice, decent work, success, and prosperity!

    The General Confederation of Trade Unions’ (GCTU) proposals are reflected in the draft CIS model law “On Cross-Border Insolvency and Bankruptcy.”

    Trade unions must have the right to represent and protect workers’ interests in the bankruptcy of international companies, according to Viktor Pinsky, Member of the State Duma of the Russian Federation and General Secretary of the GCTU.
