Independent trade unions have negatively estimated activity of the head of Federation of trade unions of Ukraine Hara

Independent trade unions negatively estimate Vasily Hara's activity as the chairman of Federation of trade unions of Ukraine. It to correspondent UNIAN was declared by the chairman of Federation of trade unions of workers of small and average enterprise of Ukraine Viacheslav Roi, making comments on the statement of the vice-president of Federation of trade unions of Ukraine of Sergey Sanchenko that «V. Hara should leave and release a place for more skilled and weighed head».

«Not my case is to estimate that good or bad was made by V. Hara for Federation of trade unions of Ukraine, and whether costs to it and further to head Federation of trade unions of Ukraine, - V.Roi has told. Is the right and a duty of exclusively presidium, council or congress of Federation of trade unions of Ukraine. However I can tell that for trade-union associations which aren't a part of Federation of trade unions of Ukraine (here I  will dare to express the general point of view of all independent associations), V. Hara's activity was unequivocally negative. For time which he heads Federation of trade unions of Ukraine, not that cooperation, and even regular meaningful dialogue, an exchange of opinions, consultations and so forth between Federation of trade unions of Ukraine and independent trade-union associations, as a matter of fact, has stopped. Serious disputes and conflicts instead have begun that, certainly, did impossible any consolidation of the Ukrainian trade-union movement. Influence of the Ukrainian trade unions on a social and economic situation in the country - and so not so considerable - began to fall promptly, the power has actually ceased to pay attention to them. Increase by the government of the prices for gas for the population without any preliminary coordination or consultations of trade unions as that is demanded by the law became the vivid example of falling of authority of trade unions» , - V. Roi has told.

As he said, V. Hara publicly expressed time and again the scornful relation to independent trade unions as a whole and to their separate leaders in particular. «The chairman of Federation of trade unions of Ukraine, on my belief, aspires to that the Federation of trade unions of Ukraine was the only thing, as at the time of the USSR, the subject of trade-union movement in Ukraine. For this purpose independent trade-union associations by V. Hara's efforts have been debarred from negotiations with the government on the conclusion of the General agreement under tariffs», - has declared V. Roi.

Besides, he has informed that representatives of independent professional associations have excluded from structure of the supervisory boards and boards of funds of obligatory state social insurance. «As a result, for example, our Federation of trade unions of workers of small and average enterprise which, as a matter of fact, is the unique representative of interests of workers of this sphere (as a part of Federation of trade unions of Ukraine isn't present branch trade union of workers of small and average business), is deprived possibility even the minimum influence on distribution of means of the social tax though, of course, members of our trade-union organizations pay such tax. All our appeals, requests, references to the chairman of Federation of trade unions of Ukraine to correct this abnormal situation remained without positive reaction», - V. Roi has told.

The chairman of Federation of trade unions of workers of small and average enterprise of Ukraine has expressed hope that, in case of V. Hara's clearing of a post of the chairman of Federation of trade unions of Ukraine, with the new head of the largest professional association of Ukraine independent trade unions can adjust effective cooperation for appropriate protection in the state of legitimate rights and interests of hired workers.
