HEY, STATE, PAY US OUR WAGES!

Meetings and picketing of local administrative bodies took place in virtually all oblast centers and large cities. In Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk the action attracted 5000 protesters demanding the payment of wage arrears, which in Ukraine now total Hr 5.2 billion, defending domestic producers, and no increase in charges for communal services. Resolutions from the meetings as a rule were directed to all state authorities from the President to district councils.
