Proletarskaya gazeta: To all! To all! To all!

On October 26th the administration of the FSUE (Federal State Unitary Enterprise, State Corporation for Air Traffic Control, http://www.gkovd.ru/wwwX/. Our note) issued an order to forbid access to the building and offices belonging to the trade unions to the president of FUATC/R (Federal Union of Air Traffic Controllers of Russia, http://www.fatcurus.ru/. Our note) to the leadership of the local union of the FSUE and the officials of the elected trade union bodies.

The electronic passes needed by the union officials to access the company were revoked and security was instructed by the director general of FSUE to prevent them from accessing the premises of the trade union.

The premises held by the trade union, which were granted by virtue of the agreement adopted on May 25th 2007 between the general director of FSUE and FUATC/R, according to which the office located in the building of FSUE (Moscow, Leningradskii Prospect, dom 37, korpus 7, kom. 254) was allocated indefinitely and without charge to the Executive Committee of FUATC/R and to the local Union Committee of FSUE.

As long as the administration had no major disagreement with the representative of the amployes according to the conditions laid down by the collective bargaining with FSUE the administration respected the agreement adopted on May 25th 2007 with regards to the premises of the union.

At some point the local union committee of FSUE repeatedly appealed to various authorities about violations by the director general of FSUE, Gorbenko, V.M of the collective bargaining adopted for 2007-2010 and the conditions of the agreement of 19/05/2009 together with other instances of violation of labor legislation. Only in the last month Moscow’s prosecutor’s office to oversee implementation of laws on air and water sent three citations to the director general of FSUE, Gorbenko V.M. regarding the violation of labor laws and one warning against violations of the law. However, director general of FSUE, Gorbenko V.M. ignores these warnings.

Currently the director general of FSUE is not conforming to three main agreements signed by the employer:
·    The collective bargain of FSUE for 2007-2010;
·    Agreement of 25/05/2007 about the allocation of an office to the union representatives to develop their activities;
·    Agreement of 19/05/2009 about the increase of wages effective July 2009 in accordance with the collective bargain in force.

It is necessary to note that these three documents were signed by the head of the Federal air Navigation Service Neradko A.V.
The fact that the union representatives have repeatedly appealed to the prosecutor’s office has been used by the administration as an excuse to block the passes of the union representatives.

As a result, the employer has deprived the union representatives of the access to all the necessary documentation about the union organization, press, foundation documents, telephone and e-mail communication with the outside world, etc…
