Russian electricity union organizing national actions to protest against the lack of progress in negotiations

The Russian electricity union (Elprof) is organizing a day of actions on 20 February 2013. It is mobilizing across the country to put pressure on the employers.

Despite repeated rounds of negotiations and earlier protest actions the employers are not moving. EPSU has written a letter of support to the union and has asked Russian government leaders to use their influence to get the employers moving. Some of the companies are publicly owned. The union has stressed that wages of managers are very high while workers did not get a pay increase or did not compensate for inflation and productivity increases for several years. Quality of services is in danger.
