Legal and Social Protection of NTUU “KPI” For one’s rights.
The only organization protecting the rights of education workers is trade union, more precisely, Trade Union Federation of Ukraine that counts million members. NTUU “KPI” trade union actively participates in everyday struggle for welfare, a just level of remuneration, high living standards. In autumn 2010 and in winter 2012 we took part in the walkout when the Central Committee of our trade union negotiated with Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine; in 2011 – in the walkout near he town council of Kyiv, against raising of utility tariff rates; on September, 22, 2012 – in Ukrainian walkout of educators demanding the implementation of Article 57 of the "Law on Education". When the Program of Economic Reforms for 2010-2014 (paragraph 39.2) predicted "increasing the percentage of students per university lecturer to 18" (now in Ukraine the number amounts to 9-13), in NTUU "KPI" 6.5 thousand signatures of staff and students against reduction the teaching staff were collected.
