Vladimir Putin and Sergei Chernogaev discussed platform-based employment, mentorship, and digitalization.
As Sergei Chernogaev reported, by 2029, 45% of trade union members will be able to use a digital trade union profile – a personal online account for protecting their labor rights. One of the goals of digitalization is to enable trade unions to receive feedback from workers and respond promptly to their requests. Chernogaev noted that young people are accustomed to digital solutions and demand new forms of interaction. According to FITUR data, Russian trade unions have 6.3 million young members aged 14 to 35.
The head of state supported FITUR's initiatives to develop the institution of mentorship. In particular, the trade unions have secured the inclusion of provisions for supplementary payments for workplace mentors in the Russian Labor Code.
Sergei Chernogaev also reported that following the adoption of the law on the platform economy, the trade unions have prepared proposals for amendments to the Labor Code regarding the interaction between employees and employers in this sector. These proposals concern 9.5 million couriers, marketplace employees, and gig workers.
Vladimir Putin acknowledged the significant role of the FITUR as a major and effectively functioning public association in addressing socio-economic challenges and emphasized the importance of constructive interaction between trade unions, the government, and the business community.
