The expert spoke about dozens of cases in the courts on medical salaries.

Currently, dozens of cases are pending in the courts regarding the recognition of illegal revision of the employment contract of medical workers in the Amur region in terms of reducing compensation and incentive payments. This was stated to Izvestia on December 27 by Andrey Konoval, co-chairman of the union of medical workers "Action".

"Currently, employees of about ten medical institutions are in a lengthy lawsuit with employers about this," he said.

We are talking about the situation that developed after April 2024, when the president was instructed to raise the salaries of medical workers to 50% of the total salary. Then the whole country began to review the structure of remuneration.

"Salaries have increased in the Amur region, and, apparently, they felt that it was too much. Therefore, in June 2024, a new approximate salary regulation is being adopted, in which the allowances were transferred to fixed ones — and lower than before! —sums," Konoval said.

The co-chairman of the Action trade union noted that employees began to complain to the supervisory authorities, and the prosecutor's office and the labor inspectorate recognized the unilateral revision of the employment contract by the employer as unlawful. Moreover, the workers were put in conditions where it was impossible to maintain the previous working conditions, and accepting new ones would mean a reduction in wages. Otherwise, dismissal.
