At present, our country is going through a difficult period of struggle against the epidemic of coronovirus infection. Although the 1.5-month state of emergency has ended, many quarantine restrictions continue to apply.
The consequences of the pandemic have led to new challenges and threats, especially in the economy, the labor market and the social sphere.
In these conditions, the main tasks of the Branch Trade Union of state, banking institutions and public services are issues of the effectiveness of social partnership, ensuring the social and labor rights of workers and the creation of favorable conditions for work and health. All affiliated organizations of the Trade Union during the state of emergency and the ongoing quarantine showed their solidarity by joining forces to minimize social tension in the collectives, taking care of each member of the trade union.
The period of the epidemic showed that even during complete self-isolation, suspension of industry and serious restrictive measures in the country and the world, the activities of international, state and local governments, as well as businesses, were organized in a remote, online mode. World practice has shown the possibility of holding major international and republican events and forums, even at the level of the Heads of State, remotely online.
We also have positive experience in conducting online meetings and a reporting and election conference by polling in the Zhambyl regional branch in compliance with all the requirements of the Charter. The interrogation method also held a meeting of the FPRK General Council, at which its Chairman was elected.
