At the beginning of November "UTK" PJSC held a conference of work collective at which the Collective agreement for 2007 was approved.

For the first time in the history of Svyazinvest a collective agreement uniform for all inter-regional companies of the holding was adopted. Now relationships of employers and employees are based on the similar principles in all regions of Russia – from South to Far East. Such unified approach became possible due to unification of control and accounting systems in the joint-stock companies incorporated in Svyazinvest.  The automated system Oracle - EBS supports the implementation of the project.
