Uzbekistan is celebrating the 120th anniversary of its trade union movement, which has evolved from ceremonial roles to active participants in labor policy and workplace reform. The revised Labour Code, developed with the ILO, emphasizes equal pay and improved worker protection. Trade unions are now involved in monitoring safety standards and negotiating social agreements, contributing to significant wage adjustments and labor rights advancements. The National Council on Social Partnership facilitates dialogue among government, employers, and workers, leading to increased minimum wages and better labor conditions. This progress presents opportunities for businesses and investors in a more robust labor framework.
