Participants in the seminar emphasized Uzbekistan’s systematic efforts to implement the ILO child labour conventions and trade unions’ role in this process. PERC-ITUC adviser Anton Leppik and ILO experts Sergeyus Glovackas and Harry Taliga focused on internationally recognized rights of trade unionists, the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and mechanisms for its implementation and social dialogue.
“Participants’ active participation in discussions demonstrates they have sufficient knowledge and detailed information about the ILO conventions ratified by Uzbekistan,” said Anton Leppik. “Work in this direction and its results deserve recognition.”
ILO and PERC-ITUC experts also visited the Samarkand car manufacturer Samavto to get acquainted with its occupational safety and health arrangements and working and leisure conditions, what is fixed in a collective agreement signed between the trade union organization and the employer.
