Revision of the Trade Union Law and Regulations

A discussion on the revision of the Trade Unions’ Rights Law was held on International Human Rights Day, supported by technical assistance from the International Labour Organization (ILO).

Trade unions are organizations that protect the rights and interests of workers. As part of the effort to improve labor relations, the law governing the rights of trade unions will be revised.

The revision will include making the statistics on the number of collective agreements and negotiations between trade unions and government institutions more accurate, as well as the number of workers benefiting from these agreements.

The bills on Employment Services, Social Welfare, and amendments to the Social Insurance Law are set to be presented during the autumn session of the State Great Khural (Parliament) in 2024.

The revision of the Trade Unions’ Rights Law is expected to be completed and submitted for consideration during the spring session of the State Great Khural in 2025.

The discussion was attended by over 40 representatives from the State Great Khural, relevant ministries, the National Human Rights Commission, the Confederation of Mongolian Trade Unions, the Mongolian Employers’ Federation, the Mongolian National Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Mongolian Teachers’ Trade Union.
