Bishkek bus drivers go on strike

AKIPRESS.COM - Drivers of the Bishkek passenger transportation company went on strike since November 17.
Bishkek public bus drivers demand dismissal of their director Nurlan Koichubakov.
"Since he held this post, all work in our company stopped. We are just moving backward," team leader Kanat Kojogeldiev said.
Kojogeldiev said the salaries are miserable. Spare parts for buses are not provided, even though their arrival was registered on paper, he said.
"We appealed to the State National Security Committee, mayor's office, Parliament, but no results were achieved," he said.
The bus drivers demand a qualified person is appointed to head Bishkek passenger transportation company.
