Vitebsk enterprises continue to operate as usual
This was reported by Vladimir Turavinov, Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Employers' Union.
According to Vladimir Turavinov, there is no question of any mass strike in the real sector of the economy of the northern region. People want to work, earn, and live normally, the interlocutor argues:
– Unfortunately, some internet channels are not interested in objectively reflecting realities. Instead, such sources offer inflated "news" constructed according to a template convenient for someone. Giving a few people a banner and photographing them near the entrance is not the same as providing them with social guarantees, salary, and confidence in the future. I think the majority of our workers (and the employers' union includes about 400 enterprises in the Vitebsk region) see the true picture and will be able to resist political provocations.
Vladimir Pavlovich emphasizes that politics cannot and should not be the basis of a production strike. It is primarily about the economy and socio-labor relations, the interlocutor continues:
– And to resolve such issues, there are time-tested tools – the Labor Code, the collective agreement. At the same time, it is important to remember that everything must be done within the framework of current legislation. The option when someone from the West tells our citizens not to perform their direct work duties will not pass. Talking to the heads of enterprises, I always come to the conclusion that our work collectives are competent, reasonable, and aware of the degree of responsibility – not only for themselves but also for the economy of the country as a whole.
Yes, there have always been and will be those who disagree with the situation. But at their own factory, at their own machine, line, or computer, one should engage in creation, not destruction. Will the person who is now vehemently calling for people to take to the streets and stop production pay people their wages? The answer is obvious – no, they will not pay. The announced sums, which are allegedly directed to support protesters, will remain in the air. Because, despite everything, everyone understands perfectly well that money must be earned – by oneself, through honest labor in factories and enterprises, not in squares.br/>
The chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Union of Employers also has a substantive proposal – on the creation of a company council in labor collectives. A new discussion platform where there will be a place for the opinions and constructive ideas of both managers and specialists with workers – everyone who ultimately works not against, but for the common cause.
