The Chelyabinsk Region Office of the Investigative Committee has started a procedural check into the complaint received during a live Q&A session with the Russian President about nonpayment of wages to workers of Uralavtopritsep factory for more than 3 months.

Necessary measures are going to be taken to establish the fact of nonpayment of wages, the sum nonpaid and the number of workers whose labor rights were violated.

A procedural decision will be made following the check. In case the facts are confirmed, the actions of the factory’s management will be qualified as a crime and steps will be made for quickest and fullest payment of the debt.
