Ukrzaliznytsia increased employees' salaries by an average of 15%. For train drivers the increase was 20%, and the minimum indexation was 10%. At the same time, due to operational optimization, some railway workers have not yet felt the increase.
As Dilo reports, RAIL.insider reported this.
How railway workers' salaries have changed
According to the company's chairman of the board, Oleksandr Persovskyi, the pay increase affected various categories of employees, but not everyone was able to feel it because of optimization measures.
"Yes, not everyone felt them (the increased salaries, — ed.), because optimization steps are being implemented today. But we will get through this difficult winter," the company's chairman said.
He explained that further income growth for railway workers will depend on the recovery of freight transportation, the reopening of ports, and the revitalization of industry.
Persovskyi also acknowledged that the current salary increase does not fully meet employees' needs. According to him, income growth depends on how much the company can increase transportation volumes.
What support employees receive
In addition to raising wages, Ukrzaliznytsia is implementing employee support programs.
In particular, under the "yeOselia" program 18 families of railway workers have already been given the opportunity to purchase housing. The company also offers young employees the "Iron Shift" program and scholarships, and provides financial assistance to those who join work on the railway, including members of railway dynasties.
In addition, employees have access to a railway worker card for free rides on suburban trains.
The company has also increased the share of payment for employees' wellness so that they can visit sanatoriums with their families.
Recall that in August Ukrzaliznytsia transferred corporate benefits to an electronic format. A "Railway Worker Card" appeared in the mobile app for employees, which allows confirming the right to free travel in a few seconds.
