The dictator wants measures to be taken to keep people employed.

Aliaksandr Lukashenka set this task on May 5 at a meeting with minister of labour and social protection Maryana Shchotkina, charter97.org learnt from Lukashenka's press service.

“This is mostly a problem for the industry minister,” Lukashenka said. “But I would like to warn you to keep an eye on the matter and control it. I am not going to mention the reasons, we’ve talked about it more than once, but the situation is rather tense at some of our rather large enterprises. We cannot afford losing them. It is not an option.”

According to Lukashenka, a package of measures must be taken.

“The industry minister has been clearly told to preserve labour collectives,” he said. “If this work is slow for now, then we should recover during summer, by September when the vacations are over, you understand perfectly well how people will feel then. They will need jobs, will need salaries, they will need to get their kids ready for school, will need to feed their families. It is very important. Therefore, preserving labour collectives is a number one priority. In order to achieve that, people have to keep working.”
