Mosgortrans dismissed the drivers Yuri Elizarov and Andrey Fortuna, who protested against the violation of the rights of employees and poor working conditions. This is reported by MBH Media with reference to Elizarov himself.
The men were fired on the same day, April 10. The management referred to the article on improper performance of labor duties.
For Elizarov, this is the second dismissal from Mosgortrans. After the first, the man went on an indefinite hunger strike, demanded an end to "repressions", extortion and corruption in Mosgortrans, to provide drivers with safe working conditions, high-quality repairs of transport, and also to dismiss the general director Leonid Antonov. Fortuna joined the hunger strike and supported these demands.
The court later ordered the company to reinstate the driver. Now the men have again written applications for illegal dismissal.
