Belaruskali reported on April 29 that a new collective labor agreement has been signed following negotiations with two trade union organizations representing employees of the company.
In an April 29 statement on its website, the Belarus producer said some 20 “significant” amendments have been made to the collective labor agreement.
It said most of the amendments related to “the improvement of social status” of employees, an increase in “material assistance,” and an increase in the number of employees receiving benefits, as well as the establishment of “additional guarantees.”
Belaruskali said more than 50 points of the collective labor agreement were brought into compliance with Belarus labor legislation following a change to the country’s Labor Code.
For the first time, the collective labor agreement includes a section “Working with youth,” developed jointly with the young employees of the company.
The new agreement comes into force on its signing. Belaruskali did not indicate how many of its employees are represented by the two trade unions.
