The package of laws would diminish trade union and workers' rights, ease firing of workers (moving Ukraine to be the lone [?!] at-will employment country among the 47 members of the Council of Europe ), broaden the use of short-term and zero hour contracts, limit the number of unions allowed at an enterprise, and even seize trade union property.
