Helpers on the hunchback bridge again

Rostov miners declared a new hunger strike and go to Moscow

On June 30, the official statement was published on the website of the Government of the Rostov Region: “The obligations were fully fulfilled that the regional government took upon the payment of debts to former employees of the bankrupt group of Kingcool companies.

In response to this, on July 4, the miners resumed daily pickets and announced a second hunger strike: “They write everywhere that they gave us 100 thousand - and we must be satisfied. No, let them give everything! "

But we are the history of the Gukovsky mines.

In 2012, the Kingkool company bought Mine "Almaznaya", "Zamchalovskaya", "Rostovskaya", "Gukovskaya" and the factory "Zamchalovsky Anthracite" in the city of the Gukovo region. The director and owner of 10% of the shares of Kingcool was Vladimir Udaev. The remaining 90% belong to offshore in Cyprus. About three thousand people worked at the enterprise.

Since 2013, interruptions in the salary began in Kingcool.

Since 2014, passing work has not been carried out at the mines.

Since 2015, Kingcool has stopped buying new equipment in return for the worn. The pumps stood up, cables frayed. Rostekhnadzor began to close the mines. The miners stopped receiving a salary. The mines began to flood. Workers went to work without salaries, pumped out water, trying to save the mine.

Since 2016, all the Kingcool mines have stood up. People have not received money for more than a year. Debt to more than two thousand employees - more than 300 million rubles. The debt of the enterprise to everyone was from 100 to 900 thousand. The company also did not make any social payments and pension deductions.

In August 2016, the miners got into a picket-several hundred people gathered every day in front of the Kingcool office with posters.

The director of Vladimir Pozhidaev was arrested.

Shakhters announced a hunger strike.

The governor of the Rostov region Vasily Golubev came to the starving. He offered 50 million rubles for all. The miners refused to accept this money, calling it a handout.

In December 2016, the miners decided to go to Moscow, but the police and the Cossacks did not let out buses from the city rented by miners.

The development corporation of the Rostov region began to partially pay people money.

Kingcool was declared bankrupt. Directors of Pozhidaev were sentenced to 5 years in prison and 350 thousand a fine (for non -payment of salaries and abuse of powers).

Now all the mines are stolen, the equipment is removed and exported unknown.

By July 2017, many of the miners were paid to salary debts. But not everyone and far from completely. Two issues are still not resolved:

With compensation payments, vacation pay, output, downtime due to the fault of the employer, payments of “underground parachutes” (15% of the average annual salary for each year of experience in the coal industry), with compensation for health loss, salaries of foreigners, alimony, etc.

With the issuance of ration coal. In Gukov, most residents have stove heating. And the miners under the law received preferential coal from their enterprise. (To score a house, it is necessary about 6 tons of coal for the winter, 1 ton of coal costs at least 7 thousand rubles. Gas gas to the house - 200 thousand.)

Next week, miners are going to Moscow-to protest on the hunchback bridge, to knock helmets, as their colleagues did in the 90s.
