Another shining example is Anna Fomina, a mechanical engineer and chairperson of the shop committee at the Gomel Chemical Plant. This remarkable woman has managed to find the perfect balance between demanding production tasks, active union work, and raising three sons. She has brought to the heavy industry what she calls engineering precision and maternal warmth. For Anna, the Belkhim union is a platform for protecting colleagues' interests, improving working conditions, and organizing a worthy rest. She secures additional payments for hazardous working conditions, organizes medical examinations, and creates in the shop an atmosphere of a large, close‑knit family. By the way, Anna Fomina placed second last week in the national photo contest by the FPB “Belarusian Woman Worker.”
