As an example of such a trade union, Orlov named the interregional trade union "Alliance of Doctors" *, recognized as an organization performing the function of a foreign agent.
“It is necessary to weigh everything again, but if the Alliance of Doctors continues its activities aimed at undermining the Russian economy, at undermining the foundations of the constitutional order, then, of course, this is no longer trade union activity.
With a small number of members, the "Alliance of Doctors" is more engaged in political activities, not paying attention to trade union activities, "Bessarab said.
The MP recalled that the main goal of the work of trade unions is to protect the rights of workers.
"A trade union is created primarily to protect the labor rights of workers and operates at a specific enterprise or organization .... Therefore, with the help of supervisory authorities, you can weigh everything, assess the quality of activity, its focus, and if the activities do not match, the Ministry of Justice can eliminate this, taking into account the liquidation of the organization." - added the parliamentarian.
Earlier, Orlov sent a letter to the Russian Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov with a proposal to tighten the rules for the work of trade unions.
* "Alliance of Doctors" is included in the register of NPOs performing the functions of a foreign agent, by the decision of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation dated 03.03.2021.
