“President Ilham Aliyev met with a group of railroads at the Baku Railway Station on November 19, saying that great work has been done to rebuild the railways, while the railways in Azerbaijan are ranked 12th in the world at the Davos World Economic Forum.
He said
that there has been great progress in recent years in improving railways and
improving rail services.
These expressions made by Mr. President
have stirred up the pride of every railwayman, and have been a valuable
incentive to work better. ”
These words were addressed at the plenary
session of the Republican Committee of Railways Independent Trade Union on
November 27. Speaking at the plenary session, Chairman of the Republican
Committee Fazail Bagirov focused on the tasks facing the organization over the
last two years and the steps taken towards their solution. He spoke about his
relationships with his partners, especially those of his employees. He also
gave some recommendations to the plenum members. He said that employers'
requests for dismissal should be carefully investigated and, to the maximum,
the interests of employees should be taken into account. Another recommendation
was to prevent the operation of the locomotive crews in excess of the monthly
limit. Such cases should be disclosed in a timely manner.
Then a report on the implementation of the
collective agreement between the management of the Closed Joint Stock Company
and the Republican Committee for 2017-2019 was heard. The report did not say

calendar days without additional leave for harmful and hard work.

of the Chernobyl accident are paid 400 manats a year from the place of
