Ambulance drivers in the Astrakhan region have secured a pay raise.
After six months of hard-fought struggle, the salaries of drivers at the Center for Disaster Medicine and Emergency Medical Care were raised from 20 to 30 rubles.
“I can say with absolute certainty that the average salary for June was 30 thousand rubles,” wrote on his VKontakte page, the chairman of the Astrakhan Nail Adelshinov, member of the Action trade union.
In January 2023, drivers recorded a video message demanding a pay raise. They point out that previously, the bonus for those who worked for more than seven years was 80%, but now it has been reduced to 30%. As a result, emergency service drivers receive around 20 rubles, and some even 18.
Following the intervention of the Action trade union, which includes more than 100 drivers, the government Astrakhan region allocated an additional 76 million rubles to fund emergency medical services, which allowed for an average salary increase of 10 rubles.
