Trade unions in Armenia

In the summer of 1921, provincial trade union bureaus were formed in Alexandropol, Bayazet, Dilizhan, Karaklis, and in Yerevan.

The Law deals with regulatory issues concerning the formation of trade unions, their activities, relations with public and private bodies, and the protection of members’ rights.

[2] Unions which are involved in state run enterprises still benefit from check-off dues, but organization and strike action in the private sector is more subdued, in part because of a lack of protection against reprisals.

[1] On 11 June 2021, an event took place in Yerevan officially launching several European Union supported projects on enhancing labor rights protection in Armenia.

The projects aim at enhancing capacity of public administration and civil society organizations to strengthen and expand protection of labor rights and building strategic institutional capacity within the Government towards social protection and labor reforms.
