In his comments, Tristan emphasized the need to develop grassroots unionism\u2014that bargaining power emerged from the strength of the membership, a mobilized membership being better able to support successful bargaining for workers. Additionally, Tristan stressed the importance of international solidarity, especially the applicability of Norwegian experience and expertise to Ukraine, and shared his experience working in this field across numerous countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The forum was co-hosted by the National Agency of Ukraine on Civil Service, demonstrating a successful partnership between the union and government officials. For example, the State Employees Union of Ukraine, in collaboration with the Agency and the Higher School of Public Administration, is actively working to train civil servants on practical tools for social dialogue in their daily work. Specifically, two training programs have been developed in collaboration with the union to enhance civil servants&#8217; understanding of European standards for social dialogue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On October 3, the national Forum of local leaders of the State Employees Union of Ukraine was held in Kyiv.
