Uzbekistan's Trade Unions: A Century of Progress

Uzbekistans trade unions celebrate 120 years, marking a significant milestone in their history. Once seen as ceremonial, they now actively shape labor policy and support workplace improvements. The FTUU, with international partners, revised the Labor Code, introducing clearer rules for employment, collective bargaining, and worker protection. The code mandates equal pay and stronger labor inspection systems. The FTUU expanded its influence to include private sector, seasonal agricultural labor, and informal employment, leading to wage adjustments for over 400 women workers. Collaborative efforts among government, employers, and workers have resulted in tangible progress in labor rights and social dialogue.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
