in connection with the World Day for Decent Work
On 7 October the international trade union movement is celebrating the World Day for Decent Work.
Decent work means not only providing an employment, but also ensuring safe working conditions and adequate wages of workers, and these issues are crucial to the International Trade Union Confederation and the Confederation of Trade Unions of Armenia.
