The performance on the Аll-ukrainian protest action of businessmen against acceptance of the new Tax code

The federation of trade unions of workers of small and average enterprise of Ukraine opposes acceptances in the second reading of Verhovna Rada (Supreme body) of Ukraine of the project of the Tax code presented by the Cabinet of ministers of Ukraine.


Dear friends!


I’m glad to welcome you on behalf of Federation of trade unions of workers of small and average enterprise of Ukraine!

We consider that the protest of businessmen against the project of the Tax code offered by the government, completely fair.

We don't consider you as jerks whom taxes obstinately don't want to pay, don't want to share profit with pensioners and invalids. We know that it isn’t so.

We consider that today you protect not only yourself – yours work, business, earnings. You protect the future of hundreds thousand and millions Ukrainians strong connected with small and average enterprise of our country. You protect the future of our middle class. That class which is a basis of well-being and democracy in any country. You stand here today for national, fair business.

Therefore we, association of hired workers, are together with you, businessmen today. We, as well as you, don't like this project of the Tax code too. I am glad to tell to you that with us almost all- ukrainian trade unions which aren't a part of official Federation of trade unions named by Vasily Hara are solidary. I can confirm it because on yesterday's gathering of heads of all-ukrainian trade unions which aren't a part of Federation of trade unions of Ukraine, we spoke about your action.

I am assured that together we will stand, together we will win!

Kiev
