Trade Union Vice Chairman Mr. D.Batjargal of Darkhan-Uul aimag met local print and broadcast journalists on concluding a labor agreement.

A survey carried out among a dozen of local journalist prior the meeting had revealed that over one-fourth the journalist in the aimag had not had any labor agreements with their employers. Only two persons had made fixed term labor agreements. Social insurance fees of a quarter of the media people were not paid by their employers.

Most of the journalists have insufficient knowledge on significance for concluding labor agreements, joint contracts, contract’s term and how to conclude the labor contracts.
During the meeting journalists gained knowledge on condition for concluding labor agreements, difference between fixed and term less agreement and obligation of employers to pay certain percentage of social insurance fees if the journalists are employed under labor contract.

The journalists are most interested in procedure about concluding agreements on work execution and hired work with editors in preparing publications and programs and making newspaper layout.
