Conductors of passenger trains of the CJSC "Azerbaijan Railways", in protest against their dismissal from work, carried out in Thursday's press conference at IRFS.
A conductor Mirsahib Sakhibov reported that the mass dismissal of conductors began in 2007. Then were dismissed conductors with experience of work from 15 and 30 years. Of 3,000 conductors there left only 300 conductors. During this period, 450 were hired conductors; the process continues.
Accusations of men-conductors that they do not serve passengers properly, sell drugs, steal things, and all these accusations are unfounded. Another reason for the dismissal of conductors, which work for a long time in the Russian direction is not knowing the Russian language, and their service do not meet European standards. Conductors believe these accusations are absurd.
The press conference announced that the management of the railway explained it by the instructions received from the First Lady of Azerbaijan Mehriban Aliyeva.
As for hiring women-conductors, " do they know any European languages , what special courses did they attend? " asked a conductor Mirsahib Sakhibov. According to him, the newly hired women-conductors are paid 450-500 manats, while men-conductors used to get 200 manats.
The press conference participants believe that the true reason for the mass dismissal of conductors is fraud of the railway management, which appropriated the funds debited for years on the conductors. "Our dismissal will help the management to conceal their financial crimes which caused damage to the state and to avoid criminal responsibility," says Mirsahib Sakhibov. According to him, under the guise of repairs and the purchase of new cars millions of public funds have been stolen.
Railway men regard these events as bureaucratic arbitrariness and indifference to the fate of citizens , violation of human rights. They believe that behind all this is the head of JSC " Azerbaijan Railways " Arif Askerov and Transport, Minister Ziya Mammadov.
Throughout the long months the appeals to state bodies remained unanswered. For this reason, the conductors have to seek asylum in foreign embassies. -05C04-
