This huge property inherited from the Soviet trade union organization included buildings, tourist resorts, sanatoriums, sports facilities, camping areas and camps. The journalistic investigations presenting cases of fraudulent management of the property of trade unions of the Republic of Moldova, through the agency of the National Confederation of Trade Unions of Moldova, show that the leaders of these weren’t concerned about the protection of the rights of employees, including the property ones,” says the informative note to the legislative proposal.
