Reforming Labor Relations		Land Reform (lifting the moratorium)
The basis for labor legislation currently in force in Ukraine is a Code of Labor Laws that has been in effect since soviet times. Even the more than 600 amendments made to it over the last 20 years have not made it capable of regulating labor issues in a democratic country with a market economy.
