IN NOVGOROD, WORKERS BY STRIKES HAVE ACHIEVED THEIR DEMANDS
At the beginning of the twentieth of June, employees of a local road maintenance company announced a strike.
By the time the protest began, workers had not received a salary even in April. They are owed by the enterprise "Novgorodgorodtodor" and its contractors. After it became known about the strike, the workers were paid a large part of the detained money.
THE STRIKE BY
BUILDERS IN THE ROSTOV REGION
From June 14 to June 19, a strike by more than 300 workers employed at a nuclear power plant in the city of Volgodonsk continued. People refused to leave their portacabins onto the territory of the construction site and start their duties.
The reason for the protest was the issuance of earnings for April in an extremely reduced amount. Usually, in addition to the salary of 7600 rubles, the workers are paid a bonus, and in general it is 35-50 thousand per month. But last month they were paid only a salary, and some received 1,5 thousand rubles, others - four, someone - eight. The head of the construction company Chernenko blatantly and cynically told the builders that "you have not earned enough to get more." This was the last straw, and a strike began.

STRIKE IN GORKY

Four shifts of rolling stock cleaners took part in the strike, totaling over 60 people.

IN THE SVERDLOVSK
REGION, A MASS MEETING OF EMPLOYEES OF THE MINING AND PROCESSING
ENTERPRISE TOOK PLACE
ON June 27 in the city of Kachkanar about a thousand workers attended a large-scale protest. Employees of the local mining and processing plant at the rally demanded to stop the cuts and return the work to the already laid-off people. The organizer of the protest action was the trade union committee of the enterprise.
People are concerned about the decrease in the number of employees at the plant in recent years, as well as information about upcoming events aimed at reducing the number of employees.
The resolution adopted at the meeting stated that in two years the number of jobs at the town-forming enterprise decreased by about 650 people. At the same time, the production volumes reached a maximum for the whole period of the enterprise's operation. "Such large-scale reductions can not be explained either by the modernization of production or the improvement of technology. As a result, there is a shortage of jobs in production, and as a result an unreasonable increase in the intensification of labour of workers, "the document says. Thus, the capitalists who own the combine raise the rate of surplus-value and their profits at the expense of the increasing exploitation of the workers.

IN
NOVGOROD, ANOTHER PROTEST WAS HELD AGAINST THE ANTI-UNION ACTIVITIES
OF THE AUTHORITIES OF THE WELL-KNOWN FOOD CHAIN NETWORK
On June 17, a rally took place, in which over 40 activists took part. They opposed the anti-union policy pursued by the heads of the chain of stores "Magnit" in Novgorod.
Since the last rally in support of an independent trade union organization, the administration has not changed its actions with regard to uniting workers. Trade union members continue to be intimidated, to apply improper disciplinary sanctions to them and to try to dismiss them. The authorities continue to exert pressure on the trade unionists known to them. Attempts are made to substitute workers, find fault with the performance of their work duties, the norms of labour protection and, under this pretext, get rid of them.
The trade union of the chain of stores from the autumn of last year regularly organizes protest actions. Its activists demand to stop pressure on the workers who joined the trade union.
