With the support of the Confederation of Trade Unions of Armenia (CTUA), the trade union organization of “Plant of Pure Iron” OJSC won a legal case in the First Instance Court of Yerevan against actions that restricted the rights of the trade union president.

Since 2023, the company's management had been prohibiting the president of the trade union from entering the company, thereby obstructing the exercise of the president’s rights and duties.

The Civil Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan ruled in favor of the trade union, obliging “Plant of Pure Iron” OJSC to allow the president of the trade union organization unhindered access to the company from Monday to Friday, between 09:00 and 18:00.

This decision was appealed by the company, but on May 6, 2025, the Court of Appeals rejected the appeal, leaving the original decision in force.

This victory is the first of its kind concerning the exercise of the rights and powers of a trade union president.
