As it was already reported earlier, Abelgazi Kussainov voluntarily left a post of the Chairman of FPRK in view of retirement.
– It was my conscious decision, it is caused by time. Time zips along, modernization is well under way. As an example the realization of Digital Kazakhstan program has to be enabled by young minds, with creative, new approach.
Last years we also paid special attention to modernization of trade union ranks, mainly to rejuvenation of human resources. The new institute of territorial trade union associations which proved its value for a short period is entered instead of “regional trade union councils”, resolving in territories of the country labor disputes and conflicts together with social partners. Territorial trade union associations today headed by young and middle age worthy personnel. Considering a moment that I have reached a retirement age three years ago, I consider necessary to give way to young people, – A. Kussainov has told.

In 2014-2015 the Federation of Trade Unions as a result of laborious work and active cooperation with social partners has made essential amendments to projects of new Labour code and Law on trade unions of RK.
These five years relationship with the Government of RK and the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of the population has been accurately adjusted in the system of a tripartism.
A number of reforms has also been carried out in structure of FPRK, including Training center, property management, created new Department on information work, reorganized an International department, in all regions of the country created “Keleshek” Youth councils, conducted training of young undergraduates at the expense of FPRK.
