This was announced by the press secretary of the Deputy Minister of Justice Yuri Maslak.
At the same time, the department official refers to the collective statement of the workers of the Lukyanovsky pre-trial detention center to the management of their institution, which states that there was no strike.
“There was no strike today. They (workers of the Lukyanovsky pre-trial detention center - ed.) made a collective statement to the head of the institution with a request to explain why they received such meager wages,” Maslak said
He noted that, in accordance with the law, employees of the penitentiary system do not have the right to strike at all.
“Today there was a collective conversation and the management of the pre-trial detention center promised that next month they will at least somehow correct the situation for several hundred hryvnia,” added the Ministry of Justice official.
According to him, the dialogue took place from 8:00 to 9:00.
“At 9:30 in the morning they were all at their posts,” he said.
Earlier, the ex-head of the penitentiary service, Sergei Starenky, wrote on his Facebook page that a workers’ strike was taking place in the Lukyanovsky detention center in Kyiv.
