ArmInfo. In 2009 the Confederation of Trade Unions of Armenia received
several hundreds of complaints about illegal dismissals, particularly,
in the private sector. One managed to reinstate about 40 people in
a job, of them 30-35 - by means of negotiations with the employers,
and 3 - via judicial instances, Head of the Confederation of Trade
Unions of Armenia, Levon Khachatryan, told Arminfo correspondent.
According to him, very often employers themselves display legal
ignorance, for instance, when dismissing the employees on maternity
leave. "Such problems are solved easily, however, most of the dismissed
still remain without a job",- he said. Another popular problem is the
employers' refusal to provide paid leave to the employees studying
by correspondence at universities. However, Khachatryan said that in
2009 the Confederation received no such complaints.
Asked whether oligarchs hinder the trade unions' activity at their
own holdings, Khachatryan said that not a single enterprise of
large Armenian businessmen has trade union organizations. "Make the
conclusion yourselves",- he said.
