In Sochi, builders engaged in Olympic facility construction, who claimed non-payment of wages, receive 1,000,000 roubles

The workers from Tajikistan, who built an Olympic facility in Sochi and who claimed non-payment of their wages, have received from the employer one more million of roubles for repayment of the salary debt.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that in late August, 53 workers from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, and Russia, engaged in the construction of housing for volunteers of the Sochi Winter Olympic Games located in the village of Vesyoloe of the Adler District, appealed to the Sochi branch network "Migration and Law" with the complaint about non-payment of their wages for three months.

The "Caucasian Knot" has been told by Sobirzhon Yunusov, a foreman of the workers, that they distributed the obtained amount of one million roubles among 20 persons, and part of money was transferred to Tajikistan. Other 15 workers from the team wait for the rest amount of about 1.5 million roubles.

"We have been waiting for the money for more than seven months already. Here, there are a lot of workers, not only from Tajikistan: there are Turks, Uzbeks, and Moldavians, who also wait for their wages," Sobirzhon Yunusov has stated. He added that the workers of his team, who stay in Sochi to wait for their wages, live through temporary jobs, stay at an unfinished building in the village of Vesyoloe without electricity and water supply.
