01 May 2019

On 1 May, AHIK chairman, MP Sattar Mohbaliyev received representatives of the Trade Union of Educational Workers of Turkey "Egitim-Bir-Sen" in Baku. Let's not forget that "Egitim-Bir-Sen", which incorporates five hundred thousand union members, is the trade union organization of the largest education workers in Turkey.

Informing the guests about the Azerbaijan Trade Union of Free Trade Unions, S.Mohbaliyev said that the Union unites nearly 400,000 faculty members. Most of them are students. Problems encountered by educators, concerns, protection of their labor rights, organization of leisure activities and other issues are the focus of the field trade union. The AHIK chairman noted that a large leisure center was created at one of the most beautiful corners of the republic at the expense of the Trade Union of Education Workers in order to effectively organize the vacations of education workers and their family members. The center has all the conditions for relaxation, treatment and good rest. In addition, the necessary measures are being taken during the season to organize their rest in other sanatorium-resort facilities of the republic.
S.Mohbaliyev emphasized that comprehensive care of the members of the trade union is one of the important spheres of our activity. Students transfer 2% of the state subsidy to the trade union account. We provide them with recreation, cultural and mass events, we are closely involved with their problems. In accordance with state youth policy, trade union organizations organize various intellectual games, sports competitions in this direction, work on the effective organization of leisure time of young people. I would also like to note that steps are being taken to strengthen social welfare of young people from low-income families. Every year more than 220 students from low-income families are provided with free meals by the Trade Union of Education Workers. Or, according to the results of the summer exam session, students of the higher education institution, who are excellent and trade union activists, receive scholarships from the Union. Recently, we have opened the Republican Universiade of high school students. Students from 16 higher education institutions are taking part in the Universiade. These competitions will be held on 10 types of sports and will cover more than a thousand students. You can bring such examples and our goal is to get acquainted with the work done by the Trade Union Workers Union. We are determined to expand our activities in this direction.
 The chairman of the AHIK then informed the guests about the activities and activities of the Azerbaijani Trade Unions in general. The issues of mutual interest were discussed at the meeting.
