The salary of Yakutia housing and public services workers is delayed again.
Workers of 17 of the 28 branches of the Yakutiya Housing and Public Services factory have not yet been paid for the second half of September and the first half of October. Minister of Housing and Community Services and the Energy of the Republic, Sergei Kirov, said at a briefing that the company pays debt gradually – with the receipt of revenue. At the same time, employees themselves publish requests for help on social media.
The firm, along with the project and municipalities, is working to repay the debt of budgetary organizations for the necessary service resources. The company is working to raise funds for the removal of debts, including through mistrusted funds.
People's Deputy of Yakutia Viktor Fedorov shared a video with an employee's complaint. The man said that he and his colleagues have to work 12 hours a day in difficult conditions, and there has been no money for almost three months. At the same time, all internal inquiries in the project ended in nothing.
This is a heartfelt cry from the workers. We haven't been paid for almost three months. I am the father of many children in a pit of debt. It's Yakut winter outside, and we have to work 12 hours a day in four shifts, keep warm in harsh conditions and wait for the money we earned honestly. There is simply no time left for other income. Even if I stop, there are simply no vacancies in the village where I live.
According to him, while the authorities feed them with promises, the loan debts are only increasing, and fines for late payments are accumulating. The man has three children and has nothing to feed them. There is no money even for small expenses and services. Accumulated debts to relatives and friends:
We are not lazy, we work in a plant that supplies heat and water to the entire republic. How is it that the State United Enterprise "Housing and Community Services" of the Republic receives subsidies of billions of dollars from the budget and cannot find money to pay its employees?
According to the Mishnah, the reason for what is happening is many years of underfunding of the service industry.
