Line 1:

'''Goskomtrud''' ({{lang-ru|Госкомтруд}}) was the State Committee for Labour and Social Problems in the former [[Soviet Union]]. It dealt with labour relations and wage issues. A 1991 western (American) review of the institution claimed over-emphasis on wage policy:

:"The problem in Goskomtrud's case is overcoming not so much its longstanding defense of traditional social policies, as its narrow preoccupation with wage policy to the virtual exclusion of everything else."<ref>Milestones in Glasnost and Perestroyka: Politics and people By Edward A.
