According to a Telegram channel briefing, a State Duma deputy described the outcomes of a meeting with leaders of the collection point. The message was concise: there is notable attention on the situation in Moscow.
Dmitry Gusev explained that the result of the meeting addressing the nationwide worker strike at the market’s collection point includes proposed changes to current laws. The draft legislation under consideration aims to prevent companies from unilateral and retroactive alterations to contracts with their employees, signaling a decisive move to protect workers from sudden shifts in terms of employment guarantees.
Gusev added that representatives from Wildberries are still awaiting a separate parliamentary debate. Lawmakers have signaled a concern for small businesses, stressing that any reforms should avoid imposing undue burdens on smaller market players while maintaining protections for workers.
He noted that another parliamentary session would take place at the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) next week to review the realities of the strike and assess the implications for market operations and consumer experience.
Market representatives previously refused to concede to protesters’ demands, citing worries about potential reductions in customer focus and the broader impact on shopper access and service quality during a period of heightened tension.
