As we informed earlier workers of the agricultural cooperative Horki appealed to local NGOs for defense. They told that in December 2009 in their firm salaries were roughly reduced. The directorship of the enterprise deducted the most part of the wages.

After this local democratic activists organized meeting for workers of the agricultural cooperative Horki with representatives of the independent trade union from Mahilou. The lawyer of the trade union Alaksandr Karalou discussed situation around salaries and concluded that arguments of the directorship were questionable.

Injured workers established Horki branch of the independent trade union (Belarusian Radio and Electronic Industry Workers' Union) and won lawsuit against director of the agricultural cooperative.

Other workers who didn’t participate in the independent trade union and didn’t use protection of the independent lawyer paid fines to the directorship of the agricultural firm.
