All-Russian industry association of employers
"Federal Chamber of the Fire and Rescue Industry and Security"

General Provisions:

An employers' association is a non-profit organization that unites employers on a voluntary basis to represent the interests and protect the rights of its members in relations with trade unions, government bodies, and local governments (Article 33 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation)

The interaction of employers' associations, trade unions and their associations, government bodies, local government bodies in the sphere of social and labor relations and related economic relations is carried out on the basis of the principles of social partnership (Article 5 of Federal Law 156 "On Employers' Associations")

All-Russian industry (inter-industry) association of employers is an association created on a voluntary basis by employers of an industry (industries) or type (types) of activity, which collectively carry out their activities in the territories of more than half of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and (or) with which at least half of the employees of the industry (industries) or type (types) of activity are in labor relations (Article 4 of Federal Law 156 "On Associations of Employers")

Employers' associations carry out their activities independently of government bodies, local government bodies, trade unions and their associations, political parties and movements, and other public organizations (associations) (Article 6 of Federal Law 156 "On Employers' Associations")

About the Federal Chamber of Fire and Rescue Industry and Security:

The Federal Chamber of the Fire and Rescue Industry and Security was created by 65 enterprises and organizations in the industry, representing 54 constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

In accordance with Federal Law No. 156 "On Employers' Associations" and the organizational and legal form "All-Russian Industry Association of Employers", the Federal Chamber represents the interests of employers in the industry in interaction with federal government agencies, public associations and industry trade unions.

The Federal Chamber unites producers of products, works, and services related to fire safety and rescue.

In Russia today, there are only about 40 active all-Russian industry associations. Their complexity and uniqueness lie in the fact that "industry rules" in the form of an industry agreement are established by three parties—the state, employers, and employees. One result of such an agreement could be the principle of establishing a minimum fair price for products and services in our industry, which could create certain barriers to the entry of unscrupulous producers into the domestic market. Similar examples already exist in other Russian industries, and this model has been developed abroad for centuries.

The Federal Chamber's goal is to develop Russia's fire and rescue industry to the level of the best international standards through the organization of social partnerships and ensuring the participation of employers in the formation and implementation of coordinated policies in the sphere of social and labor relations and related economic relations.

What tasks can an employers' association solve?

1) Create and maintain conditions and effective mechanisms for the development of the fire and rescue industry within the framework of the modern legislative framework of the Russian Federation.

2) Design and create an effective system to protect bona fide domestic producers from dumping, counterfeiting and adulteration.

3) Promote bona fide suppliers of products and services, expand market volumes, and increase their competitiveness.

4) Create programs for comprehensive fire safety for enterprises in various industries and fields of activity in Russia.

5) Increase the quantity and improve the quality of jobs in the industry.

The organizational structure of the Federal Chamber includes industry committees, committees for market sectors (by type of activity within the industry), and committees for interaction with other industries.
