The message reads, in part:

"The development of a social market economy is impossible without the participation of modern and effective trade unions, which play a key role in building constructive relations for workers with employers and the government.

I am sure that the younger generation of social activists can bring trade union activity to a new level of quality and successfully protect citizens' labour and social rights. The Chkalovsk 2010 forum is meant to help you acquire the knowledge and skills needed for this, and it should become a platform for sharing your experiences and making new professional and personal contacts."
