The advisor of the director general of Atomenergoremont OJSC Mikhail Semyonov informed the audience about the decision of the Central Committee of the Trade Union of Nuclear Workers to register primary trade union organization #428.

Presently, the organization is being registered by the Ministry of Justice of Russia.

This decision allows employees of Atomenergoremont to form their own trade union organization, which is supposed to help them to more effectively assert their interests in the framework of the collective agreement.

The chairman of the Association of Trade Union Committees of Nuclear Power Plants Alexander Apalkov said that the transfer of the employees of the CME to the newly formed trade union would help them to more effectively protect their interests and to preserve their ties within the Association.

In the coming months the company will unify similar organizations into one single trade union.
