REI came to Vorša in 2008, when the city created a "trade union group". The group to date consisted of 14 people and organizations need to create at least 15. It is to create a trade union organization in Vorša November 5 came to the head of the REI Gennady Fedynich.
At today's meeting of union members and those who are ready to join, I have gathered a lot of people in it. During one meeting, "trade union group" has increased from 14 to 35 people. Now we can expect that the organization will begin full operation in the region.
Trade Union of Radio Electronic Industry Workers (REI) was created during the time of perestroika, and quickly became one of the largest in the country – in the best of times it consisted of more than 200 000 people. Contributed union popularity that the organization has taken the unconventional for the time path – not welcomed in their posts Communist pensioners, for which – according to the Soviet tradition – the transition to work in the trade unions was, in fact, access to a well-deserved rest with a small responsibility, but great potential.
It is to be different from others, the post of chairman at the time was offered a 32-year-old Gennady Fedynich – the youngest trade union leader at the time.
Since Lukashenko came to power created by the power vertical tried to take control of the trade unions. Beginning of a long struggle for survival – REI did not want to become a "cultural-mass organization under the presidential administration" (Fedynich quote), and its steel structure eliminated the leadership of enterprises. The reward for the elimination of trade-union structures directors promised state orders, which, however, and remained promises. REI snapped – in one year the organization has made removal of 12 directors of large enterprises. But nobody did not give up.
In 2002, the union remained little more than 40 000 people, and to eliminate it, according to the not handed over, she joined the Federation of Trade Unions. The conflict with the FPB has been linked to the fact that on the eve of the visit of representative of the International Labour Organization, the REI manual has not acceded to the extolling of power, which was prepared by officials of the federation, and planned to make a presentation about the problems with the rights of workers in the country.
Out of the Federation freed the hands of the union – he has ceased to be a sectoral organization changed its name to "Belarusian Trade Union of Radio Electronic Industry Workers, automotive, metalworking, and other sectors of the economy." Now this union structures cannot be established only on a sectoral basis, but also on the territorial. On the other hand, the output from the federation gave rise to even greater pressure on the REB by the authorities.
