Victor Stukov, Head of St. Petersburg enterprise "Polotsk-Fiberglass," appealed to the Regional Court with a complaint of discrimination of members of the independent trade union organization. But the court said that it refers "to the wrong address." A month ago, in addressing his complaint the court denied Polotsk and Polotsk district.
Trade union activist said: "In December, I appealed to the Court of Polotsk on two issues. The first - to me freely passed into the territory of the enterprise, the second - to stop discrimination against our union. Discrimination that we are not invited and are not allowed to bargain collectively with the employer, in contrast to the official, pro-government union. Without participation in the negotiation process, we can not influence, such as the drafting of a collective labor agreement. Since we do not want to hold any negotiations, and therefore judicial decisions look like a mockery. A local court dismissed the complaint, and the regional explained that the anti-union discrimination - is not the subject of litigation. That is, they say, is solved in negotiations with management. What kind of negotiations, if they do not, because of this right and I just fight? "
By the way, with regard to the first complaint, which a month ago, the court granted the Polotsk, it wants to challenge the decision of the company's management has, adds Victor Stukov: "Polotsk court ruled that I have written and pass freely passed on production. I am retired, released union leader, and that the administration uses to create obstacles for my meetings with the workers. In the appeal the administration wrote that I "create problems" when I come to the enterprise - to provoke scandals, breaking discipline and so on. That there is no evidence, but the cassation appeal has been filed, awaits trial. And for me, the company is still not allowed. "
Victor Stukov suggests that the administration is reinsured to not become known to abuses against workers. Cell SPB raises sharp questions about workers' rights, in particular the violation of safety rules. Not so long ago, thanks to information from workers' Polotsk-Fiberglass "became widely known case when in agreement with the head of production at the smelter burned alive cat with kittens. It is clear that the job duties of employees' zhivoderstvo "is not included, not to mention the moral aspect of this case.
According to Victor Stukov, the administration is afraid of the "brain" of any negative information outside the company. A SPB has the ability to not only fix, but also to disseminate such information - via its newsletter "glass" or through its website.
