The presidential administration did not consider the complaint of workers "Polotsk- Fiberglass" has failed to fulfill the plant director of the Presidential Decree, redirecting it to the Ministry of Labour. A Deputy Minister of Labour said Valery Kovalkov work that the Ministry has no authority to control the execution of instructions of the President.
Complaint working JSC "Polotsk-Fiberglass" the presidential administration that violated the decree on social partnership is the latest in a series of complaints to various government authorities. Each state agency otfutbolivat complaints to other state agencies and did not consider them on their merits. Executive committee sent workers to court, the court offered Polotsk start a collective labor dispute. The prosecutor's office sent to labor inspection, which offer workers seek from the Director of execution of the decree. Factory Director Kochanowski categorically refused to enter into a collective labor dispute with workers, labor inspection and Polotsk and prosecutors have not seen in the actions of the Director of any violation of the law.
Chairman of the Executive Committee refused to meet with the workers
Complained about working in Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, made ??an appointment to Governor Alexander and his then- Kosintsev zamu Vladimir Nowacki. Managed to meet only with deputy - and get a written reply, in which he quoted a beautifully Labour Code: "... According to the second part of Article 14 of the TC discriminatory conditions of the collective agreement are invalid...". Here are just a government agency, which would determine the rate of the collective agreement as discriminatory, Belarus does not exist. Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee Kosinets from a meeting with the workers refused, the Secretary referred to the Vice-exhaustive answers.
The President can’t control
In violation of a presidential decree in JSC "Polotsk- Fiberglass" workers of the same profession under the collective agreement provided different social guarantees in the workplace - by union membership.
Workers responded to a complaint by the Deputy Minister of Labour Valery Kovalkov - in fact, on behalf of the president, as he was instructed to answer the presidential administration. Reply working on three pages can be briefly announce one phrase: the president can not control the execution of their decrees - this follows from the meaning of the last paragraph of the letter. All three of the response page scribbled Quote Articles and paragraphs of laws, decrees and regulations of ministries and departments. Such responses are common to all public officials: Citing legal norms and regulations (copy-paste), and do not need any of its views on the merits, and the conclusion can be drawn is not logical - such as the chief says.
Had answered what was not asked about
Deputy Kovalkov writes: "The Ministry, acting under the provisions of the Ministry of Labour,... controls (supervision) over observance of labor legislation, and he does not have the right to make changes and amendments to the collective agreement... ". Workers of "Fiberglass" and does not ask the president to make changes to the collective agreement - workers asked: test the employer obliged to fulfill the Director Decree in its entirety, to propose the abolition of the norm of the collective agreement, contrary to the Decree and the Labour Code.
Should rely on their own strength
All this rigmarole complaining workers "Fiberglass" spent more than a year - from January 2013 to April 2014. The conclusion that can make working Polotsk plant: achieving their interests, workers can only rely on our own strength. Courts, executive committees, prosecutors, Inspection and the Ministry - not assistants working in their struggle for their interests, defending their rights to fair wages and proper working conditions. Probably until the workers don't recall how organized a strike, directors and chairmen will not reckon with them.
