The Ministry is not interested in our opinion
Vladislav Šaruckis, president of the Labor Council of the “Belorus” sanatorium, told “Vakaro žinios” that although Minister Monika Navickienė interacted with the institution’s employees who lacked transparency throughout this history of account blocking, her position proved be strange.
“In the first place, it was not explained to us why the bank froze the accounts of an institution that has nothing to do with politics and specializes in the treatment of children, and then a” rescue plan “was presented that was not the best for us, “said Šaruckis. The Ministry promised to help find out where the 200 vacancies and already 2,000 vacancies were paid from the state budget, pay two months of salary compensation and register with the Employment Service and continue living on the benefits. another 400 jobs will be found in Druskininkai with unemployed … “
He clarified that in 2020, despite all the shocks, the staff of a successful sanatorium are not at all eager for benefits, but would like to continue working.
“It is bad when the government, which has spoken so much about freedoms and rights, does not separate the treatment of children from politics. We want to work, but they take us to the streets. That is why, after coordinating all the necessary permits, the Sanitarium staff decided on their own initiative to show what they think about this type of actions by those responsible. To do this, the walls of the sanitarium were “decorated” with posters, some employees moved to the city with the car alarms on, and the rest turned on lights in the windows of the empty offices of the sanitarium. These lights, symbolizing the successful activities so far, were turned off one after another to visually show no work. “We really hope that the government will retaliate and that the symbolism of the protest of the sanitarium staff does not become a reality, “concluded V. Šaruckis hopefully.
He addressed the main leaders of the country.
After asking for comment on the situation, Diana Sinkevičiūtė, representative of the Druskininkai municipal administration, told Vakaro žinios that the municipality and the majority of the Council were urgently looking for ways to solve this problem.
“In order to help the ‘Belorus’ sanatorium and the people who work there yesterday, the majority of the Druskininkai municipal council approached President Gitan Nausėdas, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Lejen, European Commissioner Virginijus Sinkevičius, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Seimas committees to urgently examine the socially sensitive situation while preserving the institution and the jobs, “noted D.Sinkevičiūtė.
He also clarified that due to the pandemic, unemployment in Druskininkai doubled during the year, in 2020. January 1 stood at 9.4 percent in 2021. January 1 – 18.9 percent. “After laying off the employees of the sanatorium of the public institution” Belorus “, unemployment in Druskininkai can increase up to 20%”, clarified the representative of the municipality.
The mayor of the city Ričardas Malinauskas was not left out either.
“We all make mistakes. But if we make such a mistake that ordinary people suffer (they and their families are threatened with loss of income and some with housing, and Druskininkai is threatened with another ghost building in the center of the complex instead institutions in order and in operation) we must correct this error. Immediately “, urged R. Malinauskas to the responsible institutions in his account on the social network.” Therefore, let’s go deeper and make the right decisions necessary.
He also pointed out that the rumor spread in the public sphere that said decision to impose sanctions on the sanatorium had been taken by the bank itself was “unrealistic, beyond all logic and, I believe, even correct.”
Despite the protests of the people and the appeal of the Druskininkai municipality, the Ministry did not provide a solution to the problem. The Seimas is considering amendments that would allow the payment of special benefits to employees of the Druskininkai “Belorus” sanatorium affected by the sanctions, but no one is talking about the possibilities of allowing people to continue working.
