    STEADY DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL-LABOR RELATIONS - IMPERATIVE FOR ARMENIA

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia is required to introduce the practice of
    developing social-labor relations as an effective tool promoting high
    employment rate, social partnership and consent. "It's a work-style
    practiced in many states," Eduard Toumasyan , RA Trade Union
    Confederation Chairman, told a news-conference dedicated to May 1.

    According to Mr. Toumasyan, the previous agreement between the RA
    Government and Trade Union Confederation was signed in 1995, however,
    the document remained on paper because of social hardships of the
    given period. "In contrast to the previous document, this trilateral
    agreement is based on labor legislation, and all parties will bear
    responsibility in case of non-compliance," he noted.

    The republican and collective agreement will contribute to labor
    market development and protect employers' rights. Employment ads
    setting age limits (e.g. looking for someone aged 20-30) will
    no longer be permitted," Chairman of Trade Unions Confederation
    stressed. Mr. Toumasyan finds that the trilateral agreement will
    provide solution to many problems related to security norms and
    labor organization, establishment of minimum permissible payment
    limit and possibilities for salary increase, especially in time of
    global crisis. "It's no secret that the global economic recession
    negatively impacts situation on labor market, hence the document is
    especially important in the present-day situation," Mr. Toumasyan said.

    On April 27, 2009, the RA Government, Trade Union Confederation and
    Republican Union of Armenian Employers signed a trilateral agreement
    establishing extra guarantees regulating social-labor relations and
    requiring Parties' joint action. The document was signed by RA Prime
    Minister Tigran Sargsyan, Chairman of RA Trade Union Confederation
    Union Eduard Toumasyan and Head of Republican Union of Employers
    (manufacturers and entrepreneurs) Arsen Ghazaryab.

    The Republican Collective Agreement will enter into force on April
    30, 2012.
