  4. BACKGROUND (1) • Mongolian Trade Union Movement is facing challenge on declining membership (From 90% to 40% between 1990s - 2004) since Mongolia started the transition to market economy and democracy in the beginning of 1990s. The membership declining started with the date back to when the privatization started and union membership fell down while private sector and informal economy were growing.

  5. BACKGROUND (2) • In last five years, CMTU actively worked on the organizing area, but union density still constant around 35-40%. Around 60% of total workers are out of the Union movement today. Which means over 60 percent of total employees working out of union protection, collective bargaining/agreement benefits and fundamental working rights. They really can not enjoy decent work at all. Especially in the private sector and Informal economy area, we can count large numbers of labour right violations.

  6. BACKGROUND (3) • Although there are quite a few factors that are negative affecting the capacity of CMTU for effectively organizing the unorganized, the main problems are: • Lack of trade union organizing manual, methods, knowledge, experiences in newly facing challenges • Lack of enabling environment • This project will help to solve above mentioned problems.
