Ambulance workers in the Arkhangelsk region are on strike, demanding the wages promised by Putin.
Ambulance workers from Arkhangelsk and Novodvinsk declared a strike due to low wages. The average salary for a full-time paramedic is approximately 39 rubles. However, according to the May decrees, they must receive at least 100 percent of the regional average salary, which in Arkhangelsk region is about 71 thousand rubles.
Medical staff at the Arkhangelsk Regional Clinical Emergency Medical Station sent an official appeal to Putin, signed by more than 160 people.
The management has already begun to punish the outraged workers.
"The senior paramedic supported our strike, and the head physician asked her to resign. No official reason was given for this. This is extremely unfair, and the staff is very outraged. We will fight for her reinstatement.", — she said 29.ru paramedic Ksenia Belashova.
The Arkhangelsk Region government insists that the region has "achieved all wage targets set by the Russian President's Decrees and is fulfilling them," but promises to look into the matter.
