let's go for hay hay people said and gladly went to the hay bazaar. we visit belarusian cities to learn even more about cultural origins at the end of 15 century. there was a large settlement at this place, and according to legend, it appeared at the intersection of major trade routes of the neman and brestka-vilsky. first stone, foundation, costume. it was founded by the milanese princess and the polish queen known throughout the world for bonosport it happened in 1531 and a little look
11:04 am
into the past there is a special energy here, but come, yes, i recommend it only during the daytime they say at night you can hear chilling tones, without attention, we will not leave and impressive. the facts of our time is a memorial sign installed in the honor of a native of the district, matryona markevich , simple kristinka contributed to the development of the state. she came up with a pattern on the handbrake, which eventually formed the basis of the ornament on the flag of belarus, see on our tv channel.
11:05 am
filimonova tatiana, chairwoman of the belarusian trade union of cultural information sports and tourism workers, today i would like to discuss the activities of the industry trade union , the main directions, of course, the goals and objectives and what our trade union members expect from us. hello on the air program say, do not be silent in the studio victoria popova and tatyana shcherbina and tatyana filimonova is our guest today good afternoon.
11:06 am
good afternoon. hello tatyana, i’m glad to see you, uh, my acquaintances recently expressed a question right away, that they say i’ll leave the trade unions for children for the new year, i can buy tickets myself, i never took it and i’m not going to take it, but i pay dues. and a lot on a regular basis. uh, why do i need this union? what would you answer tatyana why join a trade union is the right question, when do i come and start talking to people, who are not yet members of the trade union, uh, and to discuss the issue of joining the trade union, then, of course, i start with the main goal that the trade union faces, which is spelled out in the charter of the belarusian trade union of workers of culture, information, sports and tourism, this is the legitimate rights and interests of trade union members . yes, unfortunately today. uh, there's still a trend where a lot of people think that the union
11:07 am
is just new year's gifts, flowers for march 8th and a postcard, ta- for february 23rd. uh, you know, i'm actually really offended. hears such words from our union members, because it is, well, not a priority at all. and this is not the task of the trade union at all. the main task is , as i already said, the goal of our trade union is to protect the rights and interests, and believe me, these are not just words, if we take only the past 2022, then more than 500, but the organization of the system. e, members of our industry trade union is an organization of the culture system, sports and tourism information were e, promomonitors on the subject of labor law compliance in these organizations. i want to say that e it gave its results more than 1.200
11:08 am
violations were identified and almost all of them. and to be more precise, 98% of them hired were eliminated, that is, the question immediately arises. and if the trade union had not come, then these violations would continue. they would be typical for these organizations ; moreover, i want to say that every year the number of requests from members of trade unions to our branch trade union is growing on issues. e violations in relation to their labor relations. for example, at the beginning of last year, we a woman, an employee of one of the cultural institutions, turned, and her mother alone brings up two minor children with her. understander intended not to renew the contract. it's understandable for her. it was the only source of income, it is clear that
11:09 am
the kids. oh, you need to eat. she needs to wear them. it is the schoolchildren union intervened. uh, so, uh, according to the collective agreement that was in effect. in this institution, the employer is obliged in case of non-violation of labor laws by employees, and this woman did not have any disciplinary penalties. so we recommended to the employer to extend the employment relationship and extend it for a maximum period of 5 years. i want to tell you that on the recommendation of the branch trade union, these recommendations of ours were immediately implemented and the woman was signed a new contract for five years, and this is far from an isolated case. well, for example last year more than 500,000 as well. has been returned. or paid out of funds withheld from our union members. this is also serious very serious
11:10 am
money. e does not stand aside, of course, trade union and on the issue of amending the legislation of our country. i would like to tell you that only last year more than 150 projects were submitted for approval to the branch trade union and i want to assure you that not all projects are approved without comments and without their own proposals. but it's all good. but what leverage do you have, are there employers, if he sets himself the goal of terminating the contract or not signing a new contract. can't he do it. e a couple of times fixing at the entrance, the delay of the staff even to the point that well extended the contract for 5 years. but in this position, then we do not start. uh, structural changes. so let's say, yes, and just me the title of the position and there they already tell her that, well, as it were, it's clear that maybe it's even a deterioration. eh, working conditions, but uh, there already, either for a year or half a year, or in principle, they don’t renew
11:11 am
the contract, because, well, another position is already, uh, another position, but a woman has, including certain bonuses. because, that she is a single mother alone raising two minor children. and it not only has additional guarantees in accordance with the law, but also , as i said, under the collective agreement today, the collective agreement. it is much broader in terms of the guarantees that are in the current legislation. and believe me. i want to tell you that i have been working in the trade union for quite a long time, to be more precise , it has been almost 18 years, but in fact there are a lot of examples and there are both women and men last year 14 times we went. trade union in court and e, in 13 cases we succeeded. e, means, e to defend the worker one case. yes, there is, that is, this is also
11:12 am
what viktoria asked about. yes, what leverage, that is, up to the fact that there is a trial going on, there is not even a court and the trade union is doing just that. still, you recommend to the employer. you can’t do anything more than to recommend, of course, initially we recommend that if the recommendation is to follow the recommendations that are clearly indicated are not implemented by the employer, then, of course, according to desire. we offer the employee to go to court. we provide all kinds of assistance in the means of preparing the claim documents and, uh, we go along with the person as a. well, if you want lawyers in court and therefore we represent the interests of employees, employers are all fine. they also understand, uh, it's much easier for them. uh, those requirements that are spelled out in the recommendation to fulfill than go to court. believe today, especially in
11:13 am
the public sector. and our trade union unites, of course, mainly organizations of the state form, property tenants are well aware of what is gradually coming. that is, if the recommendation is not enough there will be a court, but look well, they do not renew. the contract is a one question. uh, there are still situations when the boss forces his employees to subordinates, a to work overtime. uh, it's out of business hours. at the same time, these overtime hours are superfluous. they are not paid. ah, the union. in such a situation, it can somehow help, because at the beginning it threatens with dismissal. he doesn't want a door there, but the same situation means that we have not isolated cases, and i want to tell you, often not even myself. the person the worker addresses on the given problem, namely our legal inspectors who carry out checks and monitorings. they
11:14 am
establish this fact. i want to tell you that this is thanks to the recommendations that are given on the basis of the results of the checks. uh, according to the results of monitoring , employers. uh, they are already more attentive to the issues of attracting an employee during non-working hours. and believe me, we have in the case, but they are rare when the employee applied that he was forced. well, how as a rule, uh, it means that employees sign e orders or an order from the employer to attract, that means in addition to work. so often it is our specialists who establish this. and if a person is told to go out to work on a holiday . and he has a family of children. well, well, it can't. he refuses, it is clear that the employer has already denounced such an employee for no, well, what to do if a person does not agree to work from above, then do not go, do not go to work, because there are different life situations. you correctly said. uh, have a family
11:15 am
there may be need to help elderly parents. yes, housekeeping or something else is a human right. but if , as you say, some kind of uh, well, biased attitude of the employer towards employees, of course, he always has the right to turn to the trade union, especially if this relationship is expressed in the application of some kind of disciplinary sanction against the employee, any disciplinary sanction . it can be debatable, of course, if, as you said at the checkpoint, it recorded that the person was late. yes, there is an operating mode time, and here we can’t do anything if a person is late, and his contract says the beginning of working time is 8:00 what we say, well, sorry for the employee, yes. we won’t say, but if, well, let’s say , this is a far-fetched violation and a person, in fact, should not receive this disciplinary sanction, then
11:16 am
believe me, we will always find, uh, leverage to defend a person, but in salaries. you often speak the news of february 2020 is the number one issue for all trade union activists. this is a wage increase workers of culture and art have passed 3 years. at what stage is the solution of question number one now. eh, unfortunately, even today, in 2023, i continue to say that the number one issue is, of course, the level of wages for workers in culture and art. yes, today, of course, we note a slight increase in the level of wages for workers in culture and art, but this is written in our trade unions. in the general agreement and in our tariff agreement , the coefficient of the ratio of the level wages of public sector employees to the average wage in the country.
11:17 am
and if we look at the level of wages of workers in culture and art, then, unfortunately, despite the fact that, as i already said, there is an increase in the size of wages, but just the same, the percentage ratio has not changed over the past 2022, that is, the salary of cultural workers grew, of course, the average salary in the country. as a result, we came to the fact that we started 2022 with a percentage. we had 59%, the average dress wage, and finished 2022 met 23 with the same percentage someone should be doing this , lobbying the interests of cultural workers today. it is clear that ah, this is one of the tasks, including the well-being of trade union members, and well-being depends on what depends on the level of wages. i want to tell you what
11:18 am
we have today. if we take, uh, 2020, then there were no such plans and forecasts, and optimistic. that is, now there are already certain optimistic forecasts. due to the fact that this one uh point regarding wage increases . it is spelled out not only in the general agreement, which is concluded between trade unions, governments and the union of employers, but this norm is also spelled out in the five-year development program of the republic of belarus, which was adopted by the entire belarusian people's assembly. there , specifically for cultural workers, it is written that by the end of the five-year plan in 25, the level of wages must be reached at least 80% of the average wage in the country, of course, the ministry of culture, which in the first
11:19 am
queue is responsible for this question. they, uh , are trying in every possible way, and to lobby this issue is, of course, an amendment to the thirty-second decree of the ministry of culture, which regulates the remuneration of workers in culture and art. well , by the way, from january 1, changes to the thirty-second resolution came into force, a number of proposals were also made by the branch trade union. but uh, the bonus for working in the industry has increased from 16 to 203%, that is, we know that from 1 in january, our base rate also increased, that is, the level of wages increased slightly . what is planned for the coming year? the salary will increase by 14-15%, but i am afraid that by the end of the twenty-third year, this percentage, which i spoke about, the ratio
11:20 am
will not seriously increase, because, according to forecasts, there will be an increase in wages on the average in the country, yes athletes and especially coaches. we have both athletes and coaches visiting us. and so, they often say that the salary of coaches also leaves much to be desired. especially in trainers who work with kids. this question is somehow you decide, yes, but look at today. uh, the level of wages is very important for us, and we look at this level of wages not only according to the average statistics provided by the statistical committee, starting from january 1, 2020, when a new wage system for workers was introduced in our country. public sector, we know , the decree of the president would come into force yes, we began to monitor the level on a monthly basis wages of all employees. e of our
11:21 am
industries is culture. this is both physical culture and sports - this is information, then, i want to assure you that the level of wages - this is once again repeated. this is not average data. we have specific figures, as i always say, behind each figure is the last name, first name, patronymic position. yes, if you take even the same percentage ratio, then you have heard. i said, if in culture this is a 59% ratio to the average for the country, then in sports. this is about 90%, the average wages in the country, then, of course, i would like more, but for today. i think that the level that he has is enough and more than that i want to say. that ministry of sports annually also takes serious steps to ensure that the salary level of e does not remain the same, but also grows. that is, everything is known in
11:22 am
comparison. yes, everything is learned from the culture of art, but these monitorings, which you are talking about, and in particular , there are disciplinary violations and wages. they may suddenly descend on the production or you warn the employer that tomorrow we we’ll come, but as for inspections, verification by law is mandatory in advance with my signature there is a notification where it is clearly stated who when what needs to be provided, if monitoring, then, as you said, maybe a specialist. uh, both the central committee and the regional committee suddenly swoop in and look at a certain document. you said that some figure is a violation of 1.200 more than 1.200. and you can list the main 1.200 - this is just a violation. which relate to labor laws, this means a violation in scheduling holidays. this means, uh, the order in which vacations are granted
11:23 am
means the same, the same working hours, which means the granting of vacations for one's own. here and so on. that is, it is diverse today to say that the main percentage is a violation in matters of granting holidays. no, i can’t say, this is labor legislation, but there are cases when they come to the trade unions with a complaint not about the employer, not about the boss, but about a colleague, yes, that is, well, there are such colleagues who shirk work and it turns out , that the rest are dragging into the equipment on themselves. and here the man speaks. i'm tired. i want to rest and the whole team is forced to take on extra responsibilities and work for another person. in such cases. the union can help. yes , of course it happens. in most cases, of course, the exception to the rule is more than the rule. yes, but there are and often even come to the trade union just to talk, and, yes, to pour out
11:24 am
their problems. and even when the person leaves. here, uh, i uh have, uh, a single appointment day. yeah when any man than a union you can come to me for an appointment and often, when you have already talked with a person, and then, uh, when he is about to leave, you clarify, so what do you want in the end. how can a union help you? and what does he answer? well, you talked to me. i understood everything. or i understood everything, thank you and leave. so, what is directly related to your question, of course, means the same monitoring that we talked about, he, our specialist can look at it. what functions are performed by which employees? and if she really uh a person, uh, conscientious does not comply. shifts his functions of his work to another. we can also recommend issuing some prescriptions again, we cannot, we are not the body that issues
11:25 am
punishment prescriptions, as i already said, our main mechanism is still - this is the editorial board. let's take a moment. let's break a reminder. we have a telegram channel. tell them to be quiet. subscribe ask questions and suggest guests we are in touch. on the air again , say the program, do not be silent. and today our guest is the chairman of the branch trade union workers of culture, information, sports and tourism tatyana filimonova tatyana do people often turn to you with the problem of delayed wages? well, at least we remember that in the 90s it was a problem. very relevant. uh, here's how a union can help in situations like this. e, this is one of the problems that the trade union pays attention to very carefully on a monthly basis; moreover, i will say that we constantly monitor once a month , we definitely consider this issue at our governing body at the presidium, the
11:26 am
same practice is with the federation of trade unions in belarus e. it is very pleasant to state that in our industry, because it is mainly, of course, the public sector. yes, and rare cases of delayed wages, as a rule. we have been stating the facts especially in the last 22 years, 21 years. uh, violations of the terms of payment of wages only in organizations of private ownership, that is, as far as budgetary organizations are concerned. e, these facts were not recorded, but at the same time, it is clear that for us all members of the trade union are equal, regardless of whether they work in the public sector or in private ownership. we have a clear mechanism for how we act, of course, we follow the principle, as i have already said in case of violation of the law, we write
11:27 am
a recommendation to hire or that it is necessary to pay wages to people. if the employer does not comply with the recommendation, we appeal to the labor deportation. in connection with the violation of the terms of payment of wages. but as i said. thank god this is a very, very rare case. hey, i wanted to clarify one more thing with you. so you said that the collective agreement has some advantages over a conventional employment contract. tell me what that advantage is. and he gives the labor code of the republic of belarus. uh, on many points on many articles, a reference to the collective agreement. what does it mean? this means that if there is a norm in the collective agreement, it is valid, if it is not, then it does not work, for example, it means that according to the labor code of the republic of belarus we have. uh, wages are paid at least once a
11:28 am
month. yes, we just talked about the salary. we recommend and usually in almost all 100% of collective agreements that are in force in organizations united by the branch trade union, it is spelled out. twice, that is, it is important. it is important for a person, of course, that the division of vacation into parts by the labor code is provided for, the separation of vacation into two parts of the collective agreement. perhaps, e grant the right to divide the vacation into three and four or more parts, fine points. i think it's great. yes, a very important norm, therefore, and as i said, about 100 articles of the labor code refer to the collective agreement. judge for yourself, that is present day. is there, in principle , a very serious approach and find a common language with the employer. yes, because the collective agreement is
11:29 am
a kind of agreement. and how the trade union managed to negotiate with the employer. and if we manage to agree on many points, then about 100 points of new additional guarantees will appear in the collective agreement. you have not yet lobbied to support the salaries of cultural workers when they are fired for 3 months, then look. this is a very good background. yes, uh, but uh, unfortunately it is everything depends on the budget funds, yes, and what we have already talked about and the level of wages. today, of course, the ministry of culture sees and we understand this very well, the main lever, uh, is the lever for raising wages. this, of course, is earning non-budgetary funds. that is, so that cultural workers themselves are interested in earning money. and these funds, some of them will be a significant part
11:30 am
will be used to increase the level of earnings. you probably know, yes, that now theatrical figures have called earn. and with this system, when will it work and do you take part in the development of these norms in general of what they are and how to get here today. obviously this is a very serious issue. it's being done by the ministry together with the theatres, because it's a completely new question . so, uh, just saying. it is possible or impossible, very difficult. this is the first. second , we must understand that we have different theaters in our country. today. you and i understand very well that it is impossible to compare our great theater. yes, some areas to heat and light up the performances. what do we have at the bolshoi theater? yes , only one costume, how much do the scenery cost , and so on? and for example, the same youth theater. yes, we understand perfectly well, so this issue is still being studied today. it is, uh, very complex, and each
11:31 am
theater must calculate and understand whether it will be able to enter this system, which was announced by the head of state. so far , such a verdict is clear. no, what yes , someone can. someone already today, but calculated. said yes we will very hard. my husband and i are still counting today. it is very difficult to calculate and say, no, we will not be able to, what further actions are closed this theater. no, well, it’s clear that today, uh, no one will allow the theater to close, because each theater has its own history, has its own audience, and we understand very well, we heard the address of the head of state that culture plays a very serious role today assigned and often theaters have a very serious ideological function. yes especially
11:32 am
recently, both in the kupala theater and in the russian theater at the bolshoi theater there have been a lot of productions that actually make the viewer think about what is happening today through the prism and history, and it is clear that today no one will allow the theater to close today. smoke in the name of the heart and theater, of course , we do not stand aside, because under the same tariff agreement, any decisions that concern employees are made only with the participation of the trade union. yes, and for example, the same document should also be accepted regulations on wages or the ministry can make changes only after agreeing with the branch trade union, what i have already talked about, and it is clear that the trade union will not allow it either. yes, i am sure that this and our state will not be allowed to you. we are already addressing people. from the theater, no, no, today they have not contacted us yet. why i have already answered, because
11:33 am
today there is a very painstaking work to determine who can, who cannot. why can't. what percentage, maybe there are a lot of questions that you need to find clear, specific answers, each profession has features and for some characteristic so-called occupational diseases. yes, that is, in belarus there is a whole list of, uh, approved for such diseases and uh, they are all divided into six categories. here on the screen we can see these six categories. well, for the same circus performers, yes, athletes or even ballet dancers have a high probability of getting injured, after which he will no longer be able to, uh, continue uh, or even his activities, or in full. yes, respectively. the trade union in this situation also affects earnings. how does one of the tasks deal with such an issue as regards the disease. uh, the trade union is labor protection, labor protection
11:34 am
is not only an occupational disease. these are also accidents, as you mentioned, of course, the trade union is always legally involved in the investigation of an accident at work. and uh, very important in the investigation process. uh, as a result, this case is established by production or non-productive, that is , further payments to the victims depend on this and, of course , in cases where the trade union is involved, and we participate in all cases that happen to our employees. whether they are workers of culture, whether they are workers of information or sports. yes, unfortunately, there are cases when the worker himself was walking along the corridor and twisted his leg, he thought, well, it's okay, the leg hurt there, and then it turned out that there were no dislocations and so on, it happens that the worker himself does not address not to, not to the doctor fixes. yes? yes, but, as a rule, when this fact
11:35 am
is fixed, the simple always takes part, it is clear that we are always on the side of the employee. we are interested in proving to the employee that this is an industrial injury, so that, as i said later , he could receive it. and the insurance payments and payments that are provided for under the collective agreement. moreover, many collective agreements stipulate the rate of payment for each percentage of loss of health , loss of health, this is also a very important point , it is clear that the percentage of loss of health it is not the trade union that establishes, but the medical worker, but at the same time, if a person has received, that is, 10% loss of health, then the employer will pay him 10% extra. that is , this is also a very important norm. moreover, of course, the main task of the trade union is the prevention of injuries. today
11:36 am
, trade unions are very actively promoting. uh, zero injuries, so it's very important for us that there are no injuries at all, because uh, when an injury occurs, no one wins. not an employer, not an employee. unfortunately there is we have death. in case, then already, well, here at all. this is not discussed . monitoring is carried out. monitoring and compliance with the temperature regime. monitoring, which means, uh, how the places for employees to eat are equipped. this means monitoring compliance . e legislation on labor protection, that is, all these monitoring. they give their result prevent many injuries. well, if it has already happened, unfortunately, an accident has happened, then in a mandatory case, our specialists take part in the investigation of this accident, but there is some index. here is the efficiency of the work of trade unions , you can say that the cultural trade union,
11:37 am
for example, works most effectively, how it protects them. no, it's very hard to say. i will explain to you why, because it depends not so much on the trade union, but on the industry. clearly, there is a trauma, a dangerous industry such as agricultural construction. industry there a priori, regardless of whether the trade union works well or badly. it is clear that the specifics of work there is such that there are many more prerequisites for injury. yes, uh, and today. the tasks that face the trade union whether it is the health trade union or the cultural trade union, they alone minimize the number of injuries. yes, we have an organization in which for ten years there has not been a single accident yes, but there is an organization in which, unfortunately, through no fault of the employers are not single. these cases a smooth road walked a man stepped on. there he
11:38 am
was hailed and retreated. all there sprained his leg, what is to blame here? employer? yes, if the floor was slippery, yes, but if everything is good, everything complies with labor standards, therefore, unfortunately, here in the first place, the influence is exerted by the human fact. so the human factor and so i want to tell you last week, the federation of social protection kostevich irina anatolyevna and the chairman of the federation of trade unions mikhail sergeevich orda where they very carefully discussed all issues and about 100 proposals were received on how to improve work on the prevention of industrial injuries. i am sure that the results will be developed. some clear recommendations will be accepted clear decisions and yet we will take a rather serious step. and in the issue of prevention of industrial injuries. another line of business. hey fpb. - this is
11:39 am
monitoring prices in stores. and your branch trade union. uh, tracking somehow. there we will say an assortment of books of some souvenirs. again, the content of these books and these souvenirs. a. so our union is also involved in price monitoring, huh? but we monitor the level of prices for e, which means cultural and educational events, that is, this is the price of a ticket to the circus, the price of a ticket to the theatre. this is our main task. e in terms of assortment - this is not a function, but we do not deal with the trade union, and again, the activity of the trade unions is not only the clarification of contractual relations and the solution of legal issues. there are also mass cultural events, health improvement, work with youth, and one of the projects that you are implementing is cultural spagina. the embroiderers from the brewshchina have already joined this project, who is it? can it be accepted and how?
11:40 am
eh? how can you take part in it? yes, we started this project in the past in september 2022, our industry trade union was the initiator. the fact is that, uh, i have long had such an idea that cultural figures should create a single one, but for as many representatives as possible to participate. ah, culture. oh well, that's something that will be for centuries, yes, and represent our country very brightly and for a very long time. i thought, uh, i won't be modest. it was my idea. yes, we thought for a long time , of course, we also consulted with the ministry of culture and specialists on how to give up, and so, as a result , we have born such a cultural project bedroom of belarus the bottom line is that each region develops its own layout of its region. but this does not mean that, for example, if this is a gap, yes, then a brilliance, one suit, the master
11:41 am
sits down and embroiders. yes, it is clear that the technique is only embroidery, almost every representative of the region embroiders his own region. that is, you understand that it will not only be an informative canvas yes on this one. the canvas will depict all regions of our republic without exception, belarus yes, and they will be depicted. not just names, for example, there are smolevichi zhodinokopy. yes, exactly than this one the area is famous. yes, that is, well, if this is the same smolevichi, then this is a barrel of tar, yes , that is, if this is a smut, then they have their own symbol and, uh, i hope that it will be implemented. moreover, it is already at such a very serious stage of implementation, yes, then approaching this canvas, which is embroidered by more than a dozen craftswomen. yes. uh, any
11:42 am
person already, well, within 5 minutes, and he will get the impression, and in our country, what each district is famous for. today, probably, not even every local historian can say what each region of our country is. it fits and what makes it unique, and thanks to this card, each person will be able to come up and already have a complete impression of our country. well, you know, it is very important that there will be a particle here. e of every cultural figure who embroiders. this is, uh, the work is not five minutes, not even an hour, it seems, a unique manual dacha, where this canvas hangs according to your idea. it is clear that we will not keep this canvas for ourselves. we want to donate it or in a museum. or, moreover, to the palace of independence, when the canvas is ready, we still want so that our wood carvers would also offer.
11:43 am
we will arrange a competition and offer a frame , too, so that all this canvas is completely handmade by our craftsmen. they will be interrupted for a long time. after a short pause. we will return to this studio again, for now subscribe to our telegram channel, and look for all our releases on youtube on channel belarus 1 and on the website of the belteleradiocompany on the air say again, do not be silent, and the chairman of the trade unions of workers of culture , sports and tourism information is visiting us tatyana filimonova, on the initiative of the trade unions, a new gift alexandrian, the library donated books rare books. mini-copies of rare books, more precisely, oh. belarus, what are these books? tell us about the initiative of the chairman of the federation of trade unions of belarus mikhail sergeevich orda when the federation of trade unions held
11:44 am
a joint forum together with the federation of trade unions of egypt. we visited the new alexandrian library in the course of a sightseeing tour. we came across a very interesting composition - an exhibition of a mini-copy from the russian federation and immediately, of course. mikhail sergeevich had an idea. why don't we, uh belarus will not exhibit the same e, which means the exposition is a change in the copy, all the more, we have something to show right away, i want to say that the process of negotiating the preparation of the transfer of these mini-copies to the alexandrian library was very, very difficult. in the meantime, we got our egyptian colleagues that they would still accept these books, we had to personally go there from the director to agree. then when we have already prepared and prepared these mini-copies. national library. belarus means when we were already ready. and when the tickets were already bought
11:45 am
fly to alexandria. we were not 100% sure that these books would be accepted into the permanent collection of the new alexandrian library. well, i want to say that it happened, this is already a big victory. why the new library of alexandria today. we all know very well that this is one of the most visited tourist sites in egypt and today we are well aware that egypt is a sought-after tourist destination all over the world and we would like to visit as i said. uh, most in demand tourist facilities new library of alexandria. but this and history is a unique building, so that visitors, tourists, at least in a word, of course, hear and see that there is such a country as the republic of belarus that it has very rich cultural traditions. very
11:46 am
deep. the queues, a huge area for our exposition, therefore , we approached very carefully together with the staff of the national library in coordination with the federation of trade unions for the selection of books. e, in. the books that we handed over included such books, like the kupala voices of francis bogushevich, of course it is, francis karina - these are ketabs. it is obligatory. of course, there was also a book about our national library, which fully tells the story of the centenary history of our national library. these are the signatures of well-known, uh, belarusian people. these, of course , are also old russian manuscripts. that is, something that may be of interest, and moreover, both the egyptians and tourists, moreover, we managed not only
11:47 am
to convey in print to wear or, therefore , these mini-copies, but also to negotiate with leadership of the new alexandrian library, that these books will be digitized and will be permanently located in the new alexandrian library. that is, everyone who wants to go to the electronic library will be able to look at our books in less than a copy. what does all of them look like? ah, in the same style of e, we also thought for a very long time how they should look. we are well aware that, having carefully studied the exhibitions of the new alexandria library. we are well aware that the egyptians love something bright. eh, very expressive, eh it is imperative that there are elements of gold as a result of our choice pal on the cover. we had a velvet color, and some of the books were blue, some of the books were bright
11:48 am
burgundy. and uh, the title of the books is embroidered in gold letters, the trade unions are in the tourism business, and the sanctions are closing the borders. clearly said in this direction. uh, increased interest in domestic tourism. yes, i want to tell you that he has grown very seriously. the only thing that is hard to say is whether the males will affect this or still. eh, here. the turning that took place in 2020 in the midst of a pandemic because it feels like people are missing travel. missed the communication for the past 2022. i can already say with confidence that it is not just interesting for our members of the trade union to grow, but it has grown many times over, and moreover, i want to tell you that the trade union, uh, feigned. this is exactly the process of departure of our
11:49 am
members of the processes, because we understand that each person must first of all know the history of their country, but we also understand that a tourist trip contributes cohesion of the workforce. it contributes to the formation of the corporate spirit of any organization and often people who can be more than one year old. or maybe even a decade working side by side. we don't know each other they don't know who breathes what, but these trips to sanatoriums, we have a lot of foreigners, in particular russians. is there any quota and do you participate in ensuring that our workers can have the opportunity to relax in ours, of course , of course, well, firstly, a discount is provided for members of trade unions of trade union sanatoriums 25%. this is a fairly serious discount, moreover, if our trade union member goes with a child, then this discount will also be distributed to the child at the beginning of the year through
11:50 am
our e, leaders of the primary e trade union organizations, and we inform you that they should e throw a cry in their collectives and ask, when someone wants to go to improve their health, so that, as you say, book this place, this does not mean that you need to already pay for this ticket, but book it so that the sanatoriums understand, so that it doesn’t happen, for example. we will say so. here, hold it for us. 50% of the places, and our union members there will decide to go, uh, relax somewhere on the sea and a sanatorium. this is also an organization that is itself bathed, that is, they earn money themselves, they earn money. it means that there is an opportunity, but to improve one’s or the medical base, and so on and so forth, yes, that is, therefore , he informs each member of the trade union through the first meeting when he wants to improve his health, the first, which means, uh, a sanatorium is booked for these dates.
11:51 am
which one wants to date we have 12 trade union sanatoriums, they are in all regions of the republic of belarus that is, every region and every person then confidently expects his vacation, but only you need to know about this is a very interesting conversation we have tatyana with you. but as we have already discussed in a pause, not everyone knows about their rights, agree that, unfortunately, yes, but i will agree, we have an official website on which any person is a member. he is not a trade union member, by the way, i want to say. that's why you're not a union much more often uh ask questions than union members who have to ask questions for members of the primary. everything will be decided. yes, therefore, any question can be asked and it is not even necessary to indicate your last name, that is, it can be incognito to ask any question, whether
11:52 am
it be legal, whether it concerns labor protection, whether it is the improvement of tourism activities, that is, any question, and i assure you. you will receive an answer. of course, you can make an appointment, you can get advice from a lawyer, if necessary, you can get advice not only by labor legislation. there are different questions. just recently , a man contacted us, how can he use the parent correctly? capital it would seem that this is not labor legislation, but uh, we explained to him and told him that i am very grateful to the person as much as possible. here , just the other day, an athlete also wanted to send it. uh, so, uh your relatives, sanatoriums too, that is, any questions a person can ask him here, party building is actively going on. yes, new coil. uh, the union movement wants to take shape in any party, no, no, and
11:53 am
the trade unions are already a fairly serious organization and have their own history, those goals , functions, tasks that are assigned to the trade unions. it, unfortunately, does not remain relevant, and you and i perfectly understand, no matter how society changes, no matter how the political system changes, but the main goal is to protect rights and interests. it will always it will always be relevant and probably, those functions that are assigned to the trade unions today, they are social, they are social, they are the fight for the purge, which involves. yes we are we work for people. welfare is very important to us. for us, the world order is very important, because we are well aware that well-being directly depends on these uh, important concepts. that is why there are no such thoughts, and cannot be. i believe that we have found
11:54 am
our niche in our society in our workforce . and the most important task of ours today is to adequately carry out this function, which is entrusted. believe me, it is very difficult. and if conscientiously effective effectively so that people don't ask the question. why do i need this union? yes candy, i don't need it anymore. this is the main function for people to see. very nice. a lot of what you talked about today, for us, recognizable - it's all at the hearing and the field of that in practice, we already have a lot of teams and collective agreements and vouchers, we know, now how to book in advance and in general, yes with the employer you can u establish a relationship to regulate with your help. and you, of course, are a competent professional in this field. i am very pleased for today's conversation tatyana shcherbina victoria popova with you today say goodbye. goodbye. goodbye. and now tatyana filimonova is speaking. i was very glad
11:55 am
to be with you today. i urge all of you to visit cultural institutions more, believe us, our theaters, our houses of culture, our art schools. the museum does not stand still. they are always ready to show something new, especially today it is very important to know our history to preserve historical memory, please, if each of you takes your child. takes you to the museum, takes you to a performance. i am sure that we will make our life not only interesting, but also more positively saturated.
