Summary
The report serves as an important background document for the Regional Conference "Building democracy and trade union rights in the Newly Independent States" in Moscow on 3-4 December, 2010. The ITUC, through this report and the Regional Conference, not only aims to expose the systematic infringements perpetrated by States or by private and public employers in the region, but also to map the concrete situations faced by trade union organisations in their daily work to defend workers' rights. The aim of the conference is to facilitate and strengthen the work in the field of trade union rights in the region as well as to outline priorities and perspectives for future work. The ITUC seeks to strengthen and further develop concrete political strategies and action programmes in the region related to the above. In so doing, it addresses the resolutions adopted during the ITUC Vancouver
