On February 17, a new head of the Federation of Trade Unions of Ukraine in the Volyn region was elected in Volyn. At the sixth plenum of the organization, 35 of its 56 participants voted for the candidacy of Ivan Karpomyz, former first deputy head of the regional department of agriculture and food. Another candidate for this position – Vasyl Tomashevych, who had been acting as head of the Federation for two months prior to this, was not supported. Presenting his program, Ivan Karpomyz emphasized that the formation of the Federation of Trade Unions of Ukraine in the region, as well as its further work, should take place in view of the political changes in the state. The main point of his program, which he intends to implement, is providing legal education to trade union employees. - The insufficient legal awareness of representatives of the Volyn trade union led to the fact that the former head of the trade union Halyna Holovenets was dismissed in violation of legislation, - noted today Hryhorii Osovyi, first deputy head of the Federation of Trade Unions of Ukraine. People's deputy Yevhen Kyrylchuk, who participated in the plenum session, supported Mr. Karpomyz's candidacy, motivating this by the fact that he has known him for many years as a decent manager, and also noted that the program proposed by him contains specific proposals for changes in the Federation of Trade Unions.
