To date, there are 7 inspectors working in the Mangystau region to resolve labor disputes and other issues. At all levels, we raise this issue, that there is a catastrophic shortage of personnel, and the number of appeals from enterprises comes in large numbers. Hence the untimely processing of appeals, which in the future leads to the most pressing issues, to illegal strikes. Where the main requirements are decent working conditions, timely and decent wages. Employers and employees need to be in close relationship, improve labor relations, conclude effective collective agreements,” the speaker noted.
