The head of the regional Trade Union Federation, Halyna Holovenets, has been given a vote of no confidence and dismissed from her position. This happened last Wednesday at the 5th extraordinary trade union plenum. Members of the council of this organization voted by a majority for the early termination of Holovenets's powers. She is not being accused of personally supporting Viktor Yanukovych's candidacy; she is no longer trusted because she did not properly respond to the will of the majority of Volyn citizens, members of the trade union, and continued to actively work in Viktor Yanukovych's campaign headquarters. At the request of the head of the Federation of Trade Unions of Ukraine, Oleksandr Stoian, Holovenets sent a delegation from the region to Kyiv in support of the pro-government candidate. By decision of the plenum, the duties of the head of the Volyn Trade Union Federation will be temporarily performed by Vasyl Tomashevych, who previously headed the trade union of textile and light industry workers of the region.
