Russia's Unpaid Workers:
ICFTU Campaign

One Russian worker in four, more than 20 million people,
is not paid regularly and delays can be as long as six 
or even twelve months.  According to recent figures, the
total wage debt amounts to 10 billion US dollars. To combat 
this gross violation of labour rights, the ICFTU and
International Trade Secretariats, together with Russian 
trade union federations, have launched a major international 
campaign.  As part of it an International Conference is 
taking place in Moscow on November 25-27, 1997.
