    CHAIRMAN OF CONFEDERATION OF TRADE UNIONS OF ARMENIA: EMPLOYMENT CRITERIA LIKE 'NO OLDER THAN 30, HIGH AND PRETTY' ARE INADMISSIBLE

    ArmInfo. Employment criteria like "no older than 30, high and
    pretty" are inadmissible and insult human dignity, the chairman of
    the Confederation of Trade Unions of Armenia Edward Tumasyan said
    during a traditional May Day conference today.

    He said that the new trilateral agreement signed by the Confederation
    of Trade Unions, the Union of Employers and the Government in Apr
    2009 was expected to help to protect the interests of employees.

    In 1995 the Confederation signed a similar agreement with the
    Government but it was ineffective. Considering the urgent need
    to regulate existing problems on the labor market, in Nov 2007 the
    Confederation drafted one more agreement. The new agreement is supposed
    to enhance the influence of trade unions as any of the parties has
    the right to demand obligatory execution of its provisions and to
    introduce changes to it. "Formerly, we were able to advance legislative
    initiatives, now, we have no such right. This agreement will enhance
    our participation in the adoption of decisions regulating the labor
    market and the rights of employees," Tumasyan said.
