21 November 2011 Employers Movement

Dmitry Firtash Nominated Chairman Of FEU Council

The Presidium of the Council of the Federation of Employers of Ukraine has nominated Mr. Dmitry Firtash, Head of the Joint Employers Movement of Ukraine, to chair the FEU Council.
 
The Presidium further recommended the FEU Council to elect Ms. Anna Bezliudnaya, Vyacheslav Bykovets, Aleksey Miroshnichenko, Dmitry Oliynyk and Oleg Shevchuk as Deputy Chairpersons of the Council.
 
The nomination recommendations will be reviewed at the meeting to take place as part of the agenda of the unification Congress of the Federation of Employers of Ukraine on November 29 in Kiev. This convention is intended to become an important benchmark bringing over 20 regional and sectoral employers organizations under an umbrella of a single association on the FEU’s premises.
 
The employers movement integration will enable consolidation of efforts and capacities towards countering the existing economic challenges Ukraine faces, and will promote the domestic market and secure new jobs. In this connection, the Congress will be taking place under the motto Do More for Ukraine!
 
Speaking at the FEU Council’s meeting, Dmitry Firtash stressed that the unification of all organizations is of strategic importance for Ukraine. ‘Given the current challenging circumstances in Ukraine, employers must be there to lend their helping hand to the government. For an organization to be able to protect the Ukrainian business, to impact the processes within the country, to incorporate new companies and to create jobs, the employers’ movement must be consolidated. Therefore, there needs to be a single platform on which interests of people creating jobs and promoting the country’s economy will be advocated,’ commented Mr. Firtash.
 
Another important development of November 21 was accession of new members to the Federation of Employers, namely: The All-Ukrainian Federation of Employers in Tourism Business, Kharkiv Region Employers Organizations Association. The association of employers in oil-refinery sector Ukroliyaprom has become an associated member of the Federation. Thus, the total of organizations joining the Federation since the time of Mr. Firtash’s election as the Head of Ukrainian Employers has reached 21.
 

NOTE

The employers organizations unification process launched by Mr. Dmitry Firtash in early 2011 has by now been completed in virtually all European countries. Unified and integrated organizations of employers operate in France, Belgium, the UK, Austria and in a number of other states.
