activists of Ukrainian independent trade unions in the direction of further 
struggle against anti-worker and anti-union new Labour Code draft. The 
connections between activists of different Ukrainian trade unions considerable 
improved during 2016. The problems of analysis of new Labour Code draft indeed 
was very important and actual for integration of the activists of Ukrainian 
independent trade unions on all-Ukrainian level. Both newly established and 
quite experienced trade unions form different regions of Ukraine at the first 
time received real possibility to coordinate its efforts for widening among 
working class masses real and true information regarding this predator and 
anti-worker new Labour Code draft. Independent Ukrainian trade unions, 
left-wing activists as well as professional and honest scientists – law 
researchers succeed during very short period of time to create the coalition of 
trade union organizations, civil unions and even political forces, mainly 
left-wing, which meaningly and sharply stood against power’s attempts to shift 
off their numerous failures in state’s social policy into shoulders of millions 
ordinary workers. 31 May 2016 the Appeal of Ukrainian national platform of 
civil society forum of Eastern Partnership regarding new Ukrainian Labour Code 
draft  was published. This appeal first time directly declares that both text 
of this draft and hidden and non-democratic order of its viewing in the 
Parliament of Ukraine provokes serious disturbing from the side of different 
Ukrainian civil society institutions. With the help of series protest actions 
and powerful informational efforts  in the beginning of autumn 2016  our trade 
union succeed to call quite massive Ukrainian society resonance directly to the 
issue of expediency ща new Labour Code adoption under hard present situation.  
In the end of September 2016 the parliament faction of Oleg Liashko’s Radical 
Party  resolutely refused to vote for this draft of Labour Code in the second 
reading. And it’s necessary to note that just our principled and persevering 
position called and secured making of this decision. All-Ukrainian conference 
became very successful and breakthrough. Independent Ukrainian trade unions has 
begun to select among all its membership it’s those militant part, which is 
really ready right now to begin coordinated struggle among for the plenty of 
issue of social and labour rights of Ukrainian workers. We’ll win if we 
struggle!
