Earlier, it was reported that 36 citizens of Uzbekistan who worked in the Kamyzyak district of the Astrakhan Oblast of Russia asked the FLMA representative office in Volgograd to provide assistance in collecting wages.

During the study of the appeal, it turned out that the employer E.A. did not pay wages to citizens for 6-8 months, promising to pay it at the end of the working season.

FLMA employees organized a meeting with the prosecutor of the Kamyzyak district A. Glukhovsky, who declared his full readiness to provide assistance to citizens of Uzbekistan.

With the assistance of the FLMA representative in Volgograd Sh. Kattakhanov and an employee of the representative office M. Ibragimov, the labor migrants were provided with lawyers and one-time financial assistance. Currently, a process has begun regarding the recovery of wages from the employer in the amount of more than 7 million rubles. Assistance was also provided to send citizens home.
