Prime Minister says Cabinet is likely to considerably raise social standards from December 1 2010
This was aired by the Premier Yulia Tymoshenko at a plenary meeting of the National tripartite social-economic council. According to her, the draft state budget-2010 foresees a moderate raise of wages for some sections of population.

Besides, Yulia Tymoshenko said that pensioners getting less than UAH 1,000 will be provided with extra payments for the purchase of medications.

Federation of Ukrainian trade unions decisively protest Cabinet's decision to freeze state social standards and guarantees in Ukraine's draft state budget-2010.

The Federation believe the Government artificially understates a living wage by a minimum UAH 300 minimum which deprives millions of the Ukrainians of a legitimate right for social guarantees.

Proceeding from this, the trade unions of Ukraine  are urging the President and the Verkhovna Rada not to approve the Cabinet's draft state budget-2010.
