This was reported by People’s Deputy of Ukraine Iryna Borzova.
«A draft of the new Labor Code has been registered in the Verkhovna Rada, because the current Code of Labor Laws was adopted back in Soviet times and has long ceased to correspond to modern realities. The main goal of the new Labor Code is to de-Sovietize labor legislation and make it humane, modern, and fair,» the People’s Deputy wrote about the draft law on the new Labor Code of Ukraine No. 14386.
Here’s what might change:
The parliamentary consideration in the first reading is the start of the procedure for consideration and further refinement of the draft between readings, the Ministry of Economy explained. The Ministry also noted that it is ready for professional discussions with people’s deputies, social partners, business and the expert community within the framework of the parliamentary procedure.
