This, as well as the main directions of the student trade union's work, was discussed at the first meeting of the trade union school, attended by group organizers and trade union organizers of the first-year students of the medical and pharmaceutical faculties.
Opening the meeting, Alexander Myasoedov congratulated the students on joining the largest public organization and reminded them of the significant role of a trade union organizer in the public life of the university.
