From the transcript:
Dear colleagues!
Tatyana Golikova congratulated the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Russia on the 120th anniversary of the trade union movement.
Congratulations on the 120th anniversary of the trade union movement in our country and the 35th anniversary of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Russia!
These important dates reflect not only the deep historical roots and traditions of the Russian trade union movement, but also the high professionalism, active citizenship, and extensive social contribution of the FNPR as the country's largest workers' association. Over many decades, the trade union movement has traveled a difficult path, defending the rights and interests of millions of workers, ensuring justice and social protection.
Over the course of 35 years, the federation has built a powerful structure that now unites over 19 million trade union members and adequately represents workers' interests at all levels, from primary organizations to federal platforms. Currently, the FNPR is the largest workers' association in Russia, comprising 44 all-Russian trade unions and 86 regional trade union associations.
You make an active and systematic contribution to the work of the Russian Tripartite Commission for the Regulation of Social and Labor Relations, which equally represents trade unions, employers, and the Russian government. More than 100 draft legislative and other regulatory legal acts on the regulation of social, labor, and related economic relations are considered annually at meetings of the Tripartite Commission and its working groups.
Your participation ensures effective coordination of the actions of all parties in this unique social partnership mechanism, the development of labor legislation, the improvement of the social protection system, and the enhancement of the quality and safety of working conditions in all sectors of industry and the economy.
The Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Russia (FNPR) serves as a reliable and constructive partner both in discussing socially significant initiatives and in implementing programs aimed at improving the lives of millions of workers across our country. Your experience and expertise enhance trust and ensure a balance of interests in challenging situations, helping prevent social tensions and strengthen social unity.
Today, as the world rapidly changes under the influence of new technologies and economic and geopolitical challenges, the role of the FNPR is undoubtedly growing. Not only do you uphold the traditional values of the trade union movement—solidarity, social justice, and concern for working people—but you also actively implement innovative methods, digital services, and modern approaches to interacting with union members.
You place particular emphasis on supporting youth, developing human resources, preventing informal employment, and strengthening collective bargaining mechanisms. All of this contributes to the creation of a modern, sustainable system of social partnership aimed at improving the well-being of Russian citizens.
By facilitating the search for a balance of interests in difficult situations, trade unions help prevent social tensions and strengthen the unity of society.
I am confident that the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Russia will continue to be a reliable ally in building a fair, stable, and safe labor space.
I sincerely wish you continued fruitful work, inspiration, new, bright, and bold initiatives in protecting the interests of workers, success, and all the best!
