“The law on amendments to the Labor Code of Ukraine on holiday and non-working days was signed by the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada on November 21... On November 21, the law was sent for signature to the president,” reads the report.
As Ukrinform earlier reported, the Verkhovna Rada on November 16 approved bill No.5496 on amendments to the Labor Code on holiday and non-working days.The bill envisages the recognition of December 25 an official day off in Ukraine. Also, the bill cancels the day off on May 2 so that not to increase the total number of non-working days in the country. So from now on, Ukrainians will mark Labor Day only one day, on May 1.
