BelAZ Salaries Dropped To $175

70

The sharp decline in wages happened at the country's largest plant.

- The situation in general can be described as difficult. IT seems that BelAZ is working somehow, there seem to be a five days working week, but the plant is often idle on the fifth day and the workers are paid two-thirds of the tariff rate. In the spring there were talks that the plant will switch to a four-day working week, but, probably, they didn`t dare to do it. Because if even the flagship of the industry is idle, then what the assessment of the situation in the country can be? Officially they say that the average salary at BelAZ is 5-6 million Belarusian rubles, but I’ve talked to the workers of the plant and they say that a salary of 3.5 million Belarusian rubles is not uncommon. Due to the salaries of the heads they might calculate an average of 5-6 million, - Sviatlana Lapitskaya told, praca.by.info writes.

-- No one was will be surprised at the four-day working week at the Heavy Forging Plant. Not long ago a new head has come to Svitanak factory, they have undertaken some new projects, let's see what will happen next. Though, the factory workers say that the salaries have fallen recently.

Some go to work to Minsk, which is one hour on a shuttle bus away. But one need to have a good salary for this: one way shuttle bus ticket costs 25 thousand Belarusian rubles, one should spend about one million of Belarusian rubles per month on the trips,- the human rights activist told.
