At the public reception of Alexander Kamanin, a deputy of the regional Duma, employees of the municipal enterprise have been on the hunger strike for nine days. Vladimir Luschikov has stopped participating in the hunger striker for health reasons, and he is replaced by new hunger striker Sergey Ostapov.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that employees of the "Akhtuba ATP" did not receive their wages for about a year. Their appeals to various authorities did not succeed, and on September 19, they declared a hunger strike. On September 26, the hunger-strikers held solo pickets.

The "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was informed by the hunger-strikers that on September 26, they had to call an ambulance because of the deterioration of their health state.

"Vladimir Luschikov permanently suffers from high blood pressure. Recently, when we called ambulance doctors, he refused to be hospitalized. We have made a decision that he should stop his hunger strike. Sergey Ostapov joined our protest action and replaced him," said Marina Soboleva, a hunger-striker.
