Legislation to govern trade union organizations will be issued before the end of 2017, according to Labor Minister Mohamed Saafan, Al Shorouk reports. The draft legislation — which will complement the upcoming Labor Act by enshrining international labor union regulations and standards such as transparency and autonomy — will be put up for national dialogue by mid-July and is expected to reach the House of Representatives once it reconvenes in October.
