A strike of transport workers began in the Lugansk region - wage arrears since August
Alchevsk, March 17 (Navigator, Olga Nikolaeva) – In Alchevsk, employees of the Alchevskpastrans utility company, who have not received wages since August 2013, began an indefinite strike until the debt in the amount of more than 2 million hryvnia is fully repaid.
This is reported by the local website “Eastern Option”.

The decision on an indefinite strike was made at a meeting of the trade union committee of the Alchevskpastrans Communist Party.
According to one of the employees, trolleybus drivers come to their jobs at the depot, but the cars are not taken out onto the routes.
To resolve the conflict, the Alcheevsk mayor's office held a round table with all interested parties.
However, the authorities' arguments to step up and start working did not convince the trolleybus workers - they will go on strike until the debt is paid off.
The city authorities, in turn, solved the transport problem by increasing the number of buses on the main trolleybus routes.
