The Realization by Foreign Citizens of the Right to Unite in Labor Unions: Problems and Solutions
The article deals with the problem of limiting the possibility of membership of foreign citizens and stateless persons which temporarily staying in the territory of the Russian Federation in the Russian labor unions. Based on the study of legislation and practice of its application the authors note that the protection of the rights of workers by labor unions is called upon to supplement state mechanisms for the protection of citizens’ rights and is optional. Realization of the workers’ interests is practically impossible in the absence of their effective association therefore the restrictions that are established for foreign citizens temporarily staying in Russia and stateless persons with regard to membership in labor unions must be assessed from the point of view of ensuring their interests in the field of labor. Objective justification of the ban for the participation to the Russian labor union for a foreign citizen and a stateless person which temporarily staying in the Russia is the absence of long term communication with the Russian Federation for these persons and the short term nature of their interests in the field of labor. At the same time taking into account the possibility of long time employment to these persons in Russia the authors propose to recognize the right to the participation in the labor union for foreign citizens which are skilled workers and work on the basis of a work permit
Baikal-GVD: status and prospects
Baikal-GVD is a next generation, kilometer-scale neutrino telescope under
construction in Lake Baikal. It is designed to detect astrophysical neutrino
fluxes at energies from a few TeV up to 100 PeV. GVD is formed by multi-megaton
subarrays (clusters). The array construction started in 2015 by deployment of a
reduced-size demonstration cluster named "Dubna". The first cluster in its
baseline configuration was deployed in 2016, the second in 2017 and the third
in 2018. The full scale GVD will be an array of ~10000 light sensors with an
instrumented volume of about 2 cubic km. The first phase (GVD-1) is planned to
be completed by 2020-2021. It will comprise 8 clusters with 2304 light sensors
in total. We describe the design of Baikal-GVD and present selected results
obtained in 2015-2017.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figures. Conference proceedings for QUARKS201
