When asked if work was underway on changes to the Labor Code, Sobolev replied:
“Yes. This year we will submit it to the Verkhovna Rada and we should vote on it in the first reading. This is our big task. We signed a memorandum with trade unions in Rome. There were six meetings because we wrote six books. Four have already passed, two more will pass, in order to fully synchronize the vision with us, deputies, trade unions, so that it is a joint work, because it will be an epochal code. Because we essentially have a code that was formed before Ukraine’s Independence (formed – ed.).”
The minister added that the positions will be synchronized in approximately two weeks.
