A new ITUC report “Building Democracy and Trade Union Rights in the NIS” released in Moscow today highlights barriers to legitimate trade union organisation in the newly independent states, as patterns of union representation have evolved over the past decade. The report, which sets out key challenges for union organising and collective bargaining and highlights concrete steps to overcome violations of workers’ rights, will be the focus of discussions at a regional conference of the ITUC-PERC* in Moscow, which opens today.
