Money for workers at Northern Fleet shipyards

Money for workers at Northern Fleet shipyards 15.04.2009
The Russian Ministry of Defence has allocated 42 million RUB ($1257000) to The Northern Fleet as payment for earlier fulfilled orders by the fleet’s shipyards.

The money will be used to pay shipyard workers, of which many have not received wages in months. A letter informing about the allocation was sent from the ministry to Governor Dmitry Dmitriyenko on Wednesday last week, a press release from the regional government reads.

The transfer was made only two days before a planned protest meeting in Murmansk. Several hundred workers gathered at the meeting, where a resolution demanding that all salary dept should be repaid within 15 days was made. According to the trade union for workers in the Northern Fleet, the workers on the eight enterprises belonging to the fleet have a total of 150 million RUB in outstanding wages, Lenta.ru reports.

120 workers at the military shipyard in Roslaykovo outside Severomorsk laid down their work at the beginning of the month.
