Instructions

Step 2
Do your preparatory work. The initiative group should talk with the majority of the employees of the enterprise, find out their attitude to the idea of creating a primary trade union organization, collect and summarize complaints and suggestions on the organization of labor. Based on the statements of employees, you can draw a conclusion about the need to create a trade union link and the main directions of its activities.
Step 3
Set a date and time for the founding meeting. In order not to aggravate relations with the employer, spend it in neutral territory outside of working hours. Send the invitation to all employees, including managers. When inviting, persuade colleagues, but do not insist on their presence. Participation in a trade union organization is an exclusively voluntary right of everyone.
Step 4

The agenda should include the following main points: - creation of a primary trade union organization, selection of a branch trade union, registration of a legal entity; - election of the chairman of the primary organization, members of the trade union committee, members of the audit commission; - approval of the Regulation on the primary trade union organization.

Take a secret or open vote on each agenda item. Record the results of the meeting in the minutes. In it, indicate the date, time, place of the meeting, the number of participants. List the issues discussed and the results of the vote. Attach a list of all employees present to the minutes.
Step 9
Notify the management of the enterprise about the creation of a primary trade union organization. Register the primary organization with the regional council of trade unions.
