Leonid Avtukhov, BPF activist, lost his job in 2008 - it reduced after the elections to the House of Representatives, where he ran. Since then, he has made about 40 attempts to get a job, including using local employment center. All of them were futile.
Last time he was denied the job after the announcement at the state level "war on laziness."
"I want to work, and I'm ready to work!" - This slogan Leonid Avtukhov lives now in its eighth year. With this idea last fall, he again visited Gorodokski employment center and finally found faith in the positive - he was sent to study promising specialty, training courses drivers to category "E":
"This is really possible to get to the place where there are cars with trailers! Popular profession. Courses are in Vitebsk, I studied at public expense, but worth learning 4,180,000. And I paid for the tickets, I went to class. I got the "E", passed the exams in the SAI. And more than half of "cadets" and did not pass, by the way. But I'm an honest citizen, for which the state paid the money really went and tried ... "
After courses Leonid Avtukhov again appeared in the center of employment. And get directions to the branch Gorodokski timber industry, where there was a vacant post driver. But to go as it turned out, there is nothing on which continues Avtukhov:
"I went and met with the director, showed me the car. It costs the first year on the street, pulled in a deep idle state. I said I did not need a driver here, and the car mechanic. But not withdraw the driver - only first enclose a contract with me, so I restored the car as a car mechanic. Only in this way, because while the car is registered in the repair, the driver receives only the minimum wage, $ 2 million. And if you work on the machine - from three to five. Head categorically rejected this."
The department Haradok timber industry say it Leonid Avtukhov refused to work:
"Vacancy we have it, he refused. They showed him the car, it is in need of repair, and he refused. We have two such machines that are faulty. Other machines do not. And these need to be repaired before the ride. "
Angered by Leonid Avtukhov went to the executive committee to figure out: how can there be such that the company has announced an open position when there is no real work:
"It affects my dignity! If three such failure, then I can collect money for tuition and such lawsuits in town already have! As many as 4 scheduled for this week! I did not refuse! Let him write that there is no job, and everything! In the executive committee work safety specialist, Valentina Kononov, agreed with me: what attitude I have to repair the car, which should produce a car mechanic specialist 4th class! And people go and walk on such vacancies which are not! So I ask, where to go and what to do about it?"
According to Leonid Autukhou, Head of Social Services, Mr. Prosolov, hit him with a reproach - they say, nothing to complain about, employment center can give a new direction. However, in a telephone conversation with the service turned out that they do not guarantee the presence of vacancies:
"We give direction to the vacancies that we have, and when they disappear - disappear. This is life
About how job "disappear", Leonid Avtukhov knows: after taking part in the elections to the House of Representatives in 2008, it reduced the structure of local utilities. And since then, the notion that the work wants to get opposition, runs ahead of himself:
"But come, I say: no more job, that's just taken man. So it was 32 times, and then I stopped counting! Girls with employment center said not to mention any names! Not called. Call: "There is a vacancy?" Answer: "Yes, there is very necessary." Come, they look at me and say, "Sorry, that's just come another man.'"
There are many facts in the Vitebsk region - that seen in opposition to human activities, especially the reduction from work, then it is difficult to get, but sometimes that is not possible. But at the end of the year at the state level was declared the fight against parasitism. So it should not start with themselves "parasites" who do not always become so of their own accord, convinced Leonid Avtukhov:
"I turned to the secretariat, signed the book offers in the executive committee. And the next day wrote a letter to the prosecutor. Let them examine how this is so: the state is struggling with parasitism, and then to work did not get!"
Just in the first days of the new year, the former Chairman of the Vitebsk Oblast Executive Committee Alexander Kosinets appointed chief of staff Alexander Lukashenko spoke about the need to de-bureaucratization of work with citizens - to each, even private, problem citizens to obtain satisfactory answers and assistance. Gorodokski activist waiting for an answer to their questions, which considers issues on a national scale.
