The NA Standing Committee on Labor and Social Affairs, headed by Heriknaz Tigranyan, organized a working discussion on October 27, the focus of which was the draft law providing for amendments and additions to the Labor Code.    
The draft, developed by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, concerns the introduction of an out-of-court mechanism for resolving labor disputes. The draft law provides citizens with the opportunity to choose between applying to court or to a labor dispute resolution committee.
The composition of the committee is planned to include representatives of the state, trade unions, and employers. Participants presented observations, proposals, and possible issues regarding the draft. New meetings are planned in the near future.
The meeting was attended by Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Arsen Torosyan, Head of the Health and Labor Inspection Body Slavik Sargsyan, and representatives of the Employers' Union and other interested organizations.
