As, said by Valiantsin Lazarenkau, head of the Brest
branch of the Free Trade Union, the
picket, planned on 7 October – the World Day of defending the right for decent
work, was prohibited by the city executive committee. The reason is that the
applicants hadn't concluded agreements with the communal services, police and
doctors, as prescribed by the executive committee's decisions.
There are no people in the allowed places for pickets in Brest, there's no need to protect public
order among the trees or at the empty stadium, and there's also no trash, says
Mr. Lazarenkau. The Trade Union agrees to pay for the rendered services, but
the city executive committee insists on pre-payment.
