works projects, and all measures necessary to increase opportunities for citizens to find gainful employment. Article 42 of the constitution provides particularly for the right of labour of citizens. On the basis of this provision, factory and service workers, farmers, farm laborers, other rural workers and government employees whose work compatibility allows for this, and who are below a certain level of responsibility, have the right of association to improve conditions of employment and economic well-being. This right includes the right to form trade unions and other associations to bargain collectively with employers and other organizations that affect their interests. Furthermore, the categories of persons referred to above and government employees who enjoy these rights by law, have the right to express grievances, including the right to strike. In addition, workers have the right to reasonable limitation of working hours, to rest, to leisure, to periodic leave with pay, to remuneration for public holidays as well as a healthy and safe work environment. Women workers also have the right to equal pay for equal work. Policy Measures Various policies for the achievement of steady economic and social development and full productive employment have been formulated to safeguard the fundamental political and economic freedom of individuals. Prominent in this regard are rural development policies, strategies and programs, the Industrial Development Strategy, the Revised Developmental Social Welfare Policy, National Employment Policy and Strategy and the Urban Development Policy. Of all the administrative measures taken by the government to protect, respect and fulfill citizens‟ right to work, the 5-year Growth and Transformation Plan /2010/11-2014/15/ is the most important. Legislative Measures Legislation for effective implementation of these rights has been promulgated: the Labour Proclamation No. 377/2003 and its amendments, the Public Servants Pension Proclamation no. 714/2011, the Private Organization Employees‟ Pension Proclamation no. 715/2011, a Proclamation to Provide for Social Health Insurance No. 690/2010 and a number of other proclamations. 76
