Dmitry Medvedev met with Chairman of the Independent Trade Unions Federation Mikhail Shmakov

January 11, 2010, Gorki, Moscow Region

The President emphasised that modernising the economy should lead to the creation of new jobs in high-tech industries and stated that one of the most important challenges of the near future is to create new jobs at modernised companies and to upgrade existing jobs to make them more productive.

Other subjects of discussion included the labour market trends, measures to lower unemployment, and the owed back pay situation.
