For everyone!
Today GM-AVTOVAZ
bosses fired out Ilsiyar Sherafutdinova,
vice-chairwoman of the independent trade union committee.
This is a
disgusting act of persecution of a trade union activist, aiming at destroying
the workers’ organization independent from the bosses.
Ilsiyar
was fired upon a made-up accusation (as if she had missed work, although she
had a sick-list given by the factory therapeutist).
Thus a number of clauses of Russian Labor Code were violated.
Virtually
from the very day of the trade union foundation psychological pressure and malicious insults
were used by the factory authorities. It
was sometimes several times a week that Ilsiyar was
told to switch from one operation to the other in the car painting workshop and
beyond the bounds of her main workplace (at the welding workshop) without
adequate time for familiarization with technical process.
They forced
her to write explanations many times. When journalists came to the car painting
workshop, Gomer, the shop superintendent, pushed her
by force into the restroom so that she could not talk to the press.
Because of
stress inducted by continuous attacks, in September Ilsiyar
had to take a sick-list and get some treatment with a neuropathologist.
And now she
has been fired. They did it, coped with her, a fragile girl.
Even her
discharge was converted into a farce.
Two orders were prepared for her to choose from: would she prefer to resign by her own
wish or to be laid off for missing work. They even prepared a paper stating
that she refused to sign the order about her discharge, as far as they
farsightedly knew that the activist would not sign it. Also they invited the
chief of security and one more sturdy security guard
to be on the safe side in case the activist would start to fight.
So she was
escorted by those gendarmes of the plant gateway. They do not have shame at
all.
Shame on
you, misters Skulskij and Svando!
I assure you, you won't get away with that!
We, workers
of GM-AVTOVAZ Joint Venture Plant, and our independent trade union won't let
you jeer at our people. They do not deserve such treatment and they are more useful
for the company than such “managers" as you because you recognize the
language of brute force only!
We have
what to set off against your mean “force”!
Comrades, I
am calling you to act out for Ilsiyar's defense. We
have to kick out of the bosses the brutal ways they are using.
Please,
send your protests to:
