Wildberry leadership, the owners of its collection points, and members of the national parliament arranged a joint meeting to review the concerns raised by marketplace employees. The gathering was reported by the Telegram channel Basis, which has been closely following the events surrounding the company’s operations.
The report indicates that representatives from Wildberry, the owners who run the collection points, and the legislator attended a discussion aimed at resolving issues tied to the workers’ claims. By the end of the talks, the parties had come to an agreement on four of the twelve demands raised by the strikers. In practical terms, this agreement led Wildberry to pledge changes that would unblock the administrative panel governing protest pick-up points and to roll back penalties that had been imposed at those locations.
A key part of the agreement involves the company’s approach to fines. The firm will not penalize employees for a first violation, while additional breaches may incur partial or full penalties. In a parallel change, PVZ staff will gain the right to appeal fines related to substitutions of goods that triggered the strikes. The aim is to provide a process for disputes to be reviewed without immediate punitive consequences in the initial round.
Work remains ongoing on the remaining worker and collection point owner demands. The parties have signaled their commitment to continuing negotiations and to addressing the broader set of concerns that have fueled the protests and labor actions.
Recent reports from Pre Shot indicate a new wave of protests at Wildberry. The coverage notes that the pressure now extends beyond workers at dedicated collection points to include employees at PVZ facilities that Wildberries directly operates. These workers are also facing penalties tied to substitution and the return of defective products, highlighting the continuing tensions surrounding inventory handling practices and accountability across the company’s retail network.
