Civil War between labor and capital: Chelyabinsk Uneneros-millionaire VS Transbaikal miners

In Transbaikalia, in the village of Vershino-Darasunsky, gold miners are poor and starving. This is not an oxymoron: they were reduced, they did not pay the money earned, and now they have announced a hunger strike. The Darasun mine in late July and early August 454 employee, the final calculation, which should be carried out on the day of dismissal, has not yet been fired. And they are starving - for all - 51 people (they started the action on Monday 19). The village authorities support them: they gave the assembly hall on the second floor of the Builder building, next to the urgent car - if the pressure is leaning, they put injections, four with hypertension and hypotension have already been taken away. After complaints about the cold and the lack of sleeping places, they provided a sports school at night: there are mats and warmth.

And the regional authorities are in solidarity with the requirements of the starving. This was said by the Governor Natalya Zhdanova (law enforcement officers, in her opinion, should take an active position, up to the initiation of a criminal case against the management of the enterprise), this was confirmed by the First Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Kulakov. The SK sees the documents, the prosecutor’s office conducts an audit and initiates cases while administrative, and the regional State Inspection of Labor reported that she was trying to conduct an exit inspection here on August 28, but on the mine prevented it. Documents on charges and payments were not shown.

Nevertheless, and without this violations are identified. Accounting flaws, it should be allowed, inevitably attract others: did not pay off in time, but where is compensation for untimely? And went and went. Their chain began with the fact that the employer incorrectly dismissed the workers, announcing from May 20 simple - without legal grounds and without justification of the reasons. May 20 - a very conditional reference point, there were enough violations before that. But on this day, obviously, something has broken, it is indicative in the relationship of labor and capital, the local mentality and Russian business norms.

Three days before this date, May 17, 81 miners refused to leave the slaughter. They demanded payments for salary debt and increasing the coefficient of labor participation. The debt to 873 employees then amounted to 16 million rubles. It was a salary for April, it was detained for two days. Could you wait and three? And what, in fact, for the sake? Governor Natalya Zhdanova went down to the workers (not the owner - he did not come). The management of the mine promised to transfer money and revise the coefficients. On the evening of May 18, workers left the mine. The debt was really repaid then, but the owner immediately stated that the mine would be closed as unprofitable. (Meanwhile, data from the counterparty base: in 2015, the revenue of the mine is 677 million rubles, net profit-216 million rubles. A year earlier-661 million. Data “Spark-Interfax”-the same.) And for now, announced simple and mass reductions.

It often happens. The owner replies to the requirements to pay more or less decent money or put filters on pipes that it is easier for him to close the company. I know an example when the owner decided to close the plant the next day after the launch. In the village of Kozulka, the Krasnoyarsk Territory - it was worth seeing in which the work shift came the day after the banquet. And in the following days, to find how the factory property melted - to maintain a collective binge. Well, the plant worked for some time, and then it was mothballed. So it has been standing for many years - apparently, until the new people are born.

A huge segment of domestic business is competitive only due to underestimation below the skirting board of the price of hidden labor and generally minimizing expenses for everything related to slaves - for ecology, safety precautions, and technology in general. And Rabila answers with love to love: an eye for an eye. Theft is not the strongest answer.

The prosecutor’s office still continues to collect from the owner of the mine a non-amonable employees from October 2016 to May 2017 (“In connection with the unreasonable use of the coefficient of labor participation”). In the interests of 656 employees, claims for 31 million rubles went to the court, 554 were satisfied. It is significant that the defendant appealed some of them, and people therefore cannot get their pennies yet. It is clear that this, perhaps, is not even crumbling, but fundamental, business, the fluid work of lawyers, continue yourself. But.

Who is the owner? Until recently, the Darasun mine was part of the Yuzhuralzoloto group (JSC "South -Council"). The owner of the YUGK and the president is Konstantin Strukov, the full cavalier of the sign “Shakhther Glory”, the vice speaker of the Legislative Assembly of the Chelyabinsk Region and, according to the Chel.ru rating, the richest Chelyabinets. In the latest Forbes rating, his condition is estimated at $ 950 million.

The YP faction in the Trans-Baikal Legislative Assembly turned to both Strukov and Chelyabinsk colleagues, so that they affect him (copies-in the editorial office): “Justice and legality must be restored without any reservations and conditions from the owner.”

First Deputy Prime Minister Kulakov: “In the spring it was clear that for some reason the owner does not properly conduct economic activity, does not invest in the development of production. In order to bring the enterprise to such a state, we must try. I have not encountered such a outrage for a long time. ”

Indeed: the impression is that this is not a business, but the reduction of accounts or a civil war at all. Who with whom? In total, with all, for example, success with loser. Chelyabinsk Unitedor’s billionaire with Transbaikal miners. But this, of course, seems. I say it happens. Business is closed.

And okay, let Strukov close the mine, what's the problem. The problem is that the Vershino-Darasunsky is included in the Government of the Russian Federation in the category of single-industry towns. Darasun mine is a city -forming. But whose problem is this?

It is known about the village that in the 50s the prisoner of the prisoner was leaked here, in the 60s the future academician of Epas studied at the local eight-year-old, in the 70s it was a 12,000th village, the largest throughout the district, with the airport. Now everything is tweeted, the population has decreased more than doubled, but they built a church. Judging by the open databases, the mine has long walked around - like a whore, with a discount growing over time and circumstances of life. In September 2006, 25 miners were killed in a fire on the mine. The then owner - Highland Gold Mining Ltd, stopping gold production, began to look for a buyer, and a year later, YUGK bought a mine for $ 15 million (including the rights to develop Teremki and Talatui deposits) and resumed prey. And last summer - after the May rebellion in the mine - the Uryumkan LLC was sold for only $ 1 million. 15 times less, even without taking into account billions of investments "YUGK"! It seems that this is a gypsy horse at the fair. Tuned, repainted and inflated with hot smoke - head in flowers, a butt in soap. Barely alive.

The transaction, as a held, reported by industry publications and sources. Meanwhile, on the YUGK website, the mine is still listed in the group’s assets, in the discharge from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities on September 19, the owner is also determined by the YUGK. The authorities of Transbaikalia say: the deal is still under consideration by the antimonopoly service. Be that as it may, hoping to resume the prey “Uryumkan”, the hunger strike is the consequences of the work of the YUGK.

This is what is on the surface. The deep problem, sorry for triviality, one: a low standard of living in Transbaikalia. Because of what-the surrender of lands, forests and enterprises in China, the most egregious statistics on crime, the popularity of AUE ("Prisoner-Urcagan Unity"). And as to directly the Vershino-Darasunsky (the village-from the oldest gold miners in Transbaikalia), here the result of poverty is shadow gold mining. From the point of view of the people, this is by "concepts." From the point of view of a business that comes here temporarily, this is theft. And with this global antagonism, it is clear - nowhere. There must be a different standard of living.

Such a vicious circle. Everything flows, not a devil changes. Let me remind you: according to many testimonies, and the Lensky execution of 1912 occurred not so much because of the rotten, fed up by the hard workers, not so much because of the horse member sold as meat, but because of the ban on them to earn extra on native gold.

Here is a continuation of the rhymes: the owner of the control package of the Lena Priisk was registered in the UK Lena Goldfields. Of course, as in our times, this company was not owned by the British. After the execution, her package was bored from 66 % to 17. Stalin wrote: from the Lensky execution “the river of the people's movement”, “came to the end of the patience of the country”. “Everything that was evil and pernicious in modern mode was all that the long -suffering Russia was ill - all this gathered in one fact, in the events of Lena.” And what? Already in 1925, Lena Goldfields returned with a triumph, the Soviet government handed it over to her many new speakers and mines in Siberia and the Urals, and now the share of the company was 93% (in 1929, however, it was forced to leave, but in 1968 the USSR government recognized the lawsuit of Lena Goldfields for $ 65 million).

Well, most importantly: only in 1938, by the decision of the Troika, 948 workers of the Lena Priisk were shot. Against 150-270 (according to various estimates) under tsarism.

Therefore, not to say that nothing changes. Yes, the meaning of the events around ore gold, the canvas itself and even the plot of the same, but now at least they are not shot, the softening of morals is evident.

According to the regional office, on September 19, a tranche of 11.8 million rubles from the 38 million promised by the owner entered the accounts of the mine. But people intend to starve to complete repayment of the debt. On the evening of September 20, local authorities reported on the crediting of the entire amount and ambulance. Probably, people will receive earned. But just what to do next? The mine is mothballed. How many and whom the Uryumkan will hire and when he resumes prey, so far no one can say, there are only intentions.
