Since the beginning of October, 335 workers have contacted the Inter-industry Monitoring Center of the Federation of Trade Unions of Belarus. The Center's specialists are successfully resolving issues related to labor relations.

And the Center's work is aimed precisely at that - at providing the fastest possible response to people's questions. Usually, a consultation is sufficient. In such cases, the applicant receives an answer immediately. And even in situations requiring a visit to the organization, a detailed review of the documentation related to the inquiry, or negotiations with the employer, the employee receives a response within just a few days," noted the press service of the Federation of Trade Unions of Belarus.
