Babruisk: Kanstantsin Loktseu's boss collects signatures for his dismissal
This autumn Mr. Loktseu was punished with arrest for
the organization of a People's Assembky in Babruisk. After this he started
facing trouble at work, especially after his brass was visited by the KGB. The
administration lost its patience after he tried to establish a primary unit of
the Independent Trade Union of Radio Electronic Industry at work.
“As I have recently learned from my colleagues, my boos, Siarhei Khropau,
collected signatures for my dismissal,” says Kanstantsin Loktseu. “As far as I
know, his relatives signed the paper, two people refused to do it. Only nine
people work in the boiling-house of the kinder-garten “Mechta”. Of course, if
they just need to fire me, these signatures are unnecessary. I came up to the
boss and asked him openly whether he was collecting signatures. He said that he
was just executing an order of the higher officials who told him to prepare an
office memorandum in order to save himself,” commented Mr. Loktseu.
“When I was employed I have an agreement with the director that I won't have a
stable time-schedule. The main condition was that the boiling-house will work.
I put it in order, and there were no pretensions to my work. So, the
administration seems to have no need in good workers, the main criterion for
them is the lack of initiative,” he added.
