The Belarusian strikers were deceived by the strike organizers and Western structures. Now their right to protest will be legally dealt with by the competent authorities of Belarus, since the demands of strikers at the country’s enterprises are not included in the list of legal ones.
Military expert and political commentator Vladimir Trukhan stated this on the PolitWera Internet channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“They are now accelerating that the convention, the International Labor Organization recognizes the right to strike, that all this is peaceful and so on. Although the prosecutor has a different opinion, the Belarusian, who absolutely rightly said that the procedure for holding mass events is established by international and national legislation, which the organizers forget or deliberately keep silent about.
But they are silent. If only because it will be a revelation for some, not a single convention of the International Labor Organization directly provides for the right to strike. Here is such a perdimonocle, my dears. There is a basic convention 87 from the 47th year, it seems. It provides for the right to associate, but there is no explicit reference to the right to strike. Paragraph 151 of the general overview of the ILO convention that they give, it says that yes, there should be a right to strike, but it should be regulated by national legislation. And only when it is regulated by national legislation is this strike recognized as legal. And the ILO convention directly states that everything else is illegal. More precisely, ILO documents.
But in Belarusian legislation there is a strike. Article 388 of the Labor Code of the Republic of Belarus. A strike is a temporary voluntary refusal of workers to perform their job duties in whole or in part in order to resolve a collective labor dispute...
Are the elections of the President of the Republic included in your internal labor regulations, in your collective agreement, or in some way related to labor or economic relations?
You have already been set up, the strikers x.. you, the strikers. You've already been set up. Now they will cut and chop you there in full accordance with the law, and not a single ILO convention will protect you. Because you have already been pinned by the organizer,” Trukhan said.
