Dear colleagues, chairmen and members of trade union committees, trade union activists and veterans!

I heartily congratulate you on Trade Union Day. The announcement by the President of Uzbekistan of November 11 as a “National Holiday” is an example of great attention and trust in you.

It should be recognized that over the past 5 years, the social partnership between the state, trade unions and employers has developed and reached a new level. The activity of the Committee of Trade Unions of Uzbekistan has significantly intensified in the areas of development of social partnership, effective protection of the labor rights of workers, participation in the improvement of national legislation in the field of labor.

In the last period of the current year, Uzbekgeofizika JSC carried out effective work through a collective agreement on protecting the health of workers on the principles of social partnership with the Joint Trade Union Committee and its primary organizations.

You have played an invaluable role in organizing a number of sporting events, spiritual and educational round tables, excursions, charity events, concerts and similar events in order to develop domestic tourism throughout Uzbekistan.

Taking this opportunity, I want to thank all members of the Joint Trade Union Committee of Uzbekgeofizika JSC for their important work for the benefit of workers. May our traditions be further strengthened by a glorious trade union based on the principles of justice and solidarity, and may your work always bring you satisfaction!
