Trade Union Action for Peace Day is observed in Tajikistan every September 1. This official holiday, also known as Trade Union Day, celebrates the vital role of trade unions in fostering positive employer-employee relationships and protecting workers' rights. The trade union movement in Tajikistan began in 1926, with the establishment of the first Council of Trade Unions at the First Congress of Trade Union Organizations in Dushanbe. The holiday highlights the contribution of trade unions to social stability, particularly their involvement in achieving peace during the civil war, marked by their signing of the Agreement on Social Accord in 1996. The operation of trade unions in Tajikistan is governed by the Law on Trade Unions, adopted in 2011, which outlines their rights and responsibilities.
