Railway workers union leader warned he could be brought to account overstrike
MOSCOW. May 8 (Interfax) - The Moscow Regional Transport
Prosecutor's Office has issued a warning to Railway Workers Union leader
Yevgeny Kulikov in relation to plans to stage a strike in the Yaroslavl
railway sector.
"The trade union leader has been warned that he will be held to
account for approving the decision to suspend work by locomotive
drivers," the Prosecutor General's Office said in a statement.
"Some of the locomotive drivers of the Pushkino and
Zheleznodorozhanaya locomotive depots, at the call of the primary
organization of the Russian Locomotive Drivers Union's Moscow Railway
Trade Union Committee, suspended work on April 28 and 29 in violation of
current legislation, which disrupted railway schedules," the statement
says.
The Federal Law on Railway Transport does not allow general railway
transport workers, whose functions have to do with the movement and
maneuvering of trains and providing services to passengers, to go on
strike, the Prosecutor General's Office said.
Kulikov was warned that violations of the law were unacceptable, it
said.
