Kazakhstan: There is a lot going on among the miners today

We have also, but already in 2017, we had a strong strike of miners of 4 mines. 7 thousand miners were on strike underground for four days and partially achieved an increase in wages. But the main issue of miners in Kazakhstan has not been resolved. Our miners retire at 63 and many receive (myself included) a minimum pension.

It is $170, which is not enough for medicine and food. We also had a strike of disabled people, who elected their representatives and we go to meet with the government of Kazakhstan to solve the issues not only of the disabled, but of the mining industry as a whole. We have already visited the government eight times. The situation with the virus in Kazakhstan is very bad - high mortality rate, lack of vaccine and organization of authorities.
