The SUR Azov and Don Territorial Organization (SUR ADTO) helped a seafarer's widow to return his wage debt, which the SailTrade company couldn't pay since 2014, said Leonid Glushak, the chairman at the SUR ADTO.
Thus, the employer was in a two-month wage hock to captain Dmitrienko I.S. The sum of debt was USD 2,000. For a long time the seafarer believed in the employer's promises and had been waiting for the payment. But he died suddenly in 2016. His wife Olga Dmitrienko had to resolve the issue of recovering money due. Finally, the woman decided to ask for help from the Seafarers' Union after she didn't get from SailTrade any money honestly earned by the captain.
“Although SailTrade had shown itself as a not well-decent company and it were included in the union black list in 2017, we settled the situation very quickly. The most important that Olga Dmitrienko got money”, said Leonid Glushak. “We are always glad to help and get in return the sincere word of thanks”
