8.2.2
Employment trade unions
Continuously preserving the rights of its employees, AzTU recognizes the labor rights of its employees, and guarantees decent work for all employees including women and international staff. AzTU applies the recruitment, selection and contracting process for all university employees using the best national and international recruitment mechanisms.
AzTU duly respects the labor union rights of its employees. All contracted employees become the members of the Independent Trade Union of Azerbaijan Education Employees (ITUAEE) (https://atiahi.org/en). The University also has the Trade Union Committee, the internal advocacy organization of the University employees to represent them (https://www.aztu.edu.az/sub_site/az/hemkarlar-ittifaqi-komitesi-72). The template of the recent collective agreement signed between the Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan (MOSE) and the ITUAEE covers the period of 2021-2023 (https://atiahi.org/pages/huquqi-baza-bas-kollektiv-sazis). As the University subordinates to the MOSE, the University employees have the right to become the members of the ITUAEE.
