Appeal of the Unions Federation of Ukraine to Mr. P.A. Poroshenko, the President of Ukraine on the prevention of population impoverishment and setting of social dialogue. 08 September 2014 Members of Unions Federation Presidium noted that the present Government had introduced the rigid economy measures twice which resulted to the impoverishment of a labor-man. Due to the rapid prices and rates growth for vital required services, the state social standards and guarantees have been frozen, in particular the minimum wages and cost of living. A sharp reduction of people ability to buy goods and pay for the services will result to the falling of goods production by domestic companies, and therefore to the decrease in job and increase in unemployment. It’s anticipated a loss of more than one million jobs by the end of 2014 and a labor market crisis will worsen by the end of 2015. For the purpose of negative consequences prevention for workers and citizen of Ukraine we consider it urgent to Ratify of the European Social Chapter (revised) entirely and implement the Association with European Union Agreement strictly complying with International Labor Organization conversions ratified by Ukraine.
