In Russia, they wanted to hire street cleaners from North Korea, but 'couldn't afford the salary'
Orenburg's head, Albert Yumadilov, stated that the city authorities planned to attract North Korean citizens to clean the streets, but encountered an insurmountable financial barrier. Communal workers from North Korea refused to work for the offered 55 thousand Russian rubles (which is 2000 Belarusian [rubles]).
“As far as I know, workers from North Korea will not go for 55 thousand [rubles]. The salary level there is 2-3 times higher. Of course, their efficiency is also higher, they work like robots, I saw it with my own eyes… But we simply cannot afford them by salary,” quotes Yumadilov, the local portal 1743.ru.
However, another experiment has successfully taken root in the city — with workers from Senegal. The first 10 African street cleaners appeared in Orenburg in April; now their number has grown to 31, and the arrival of four more is expected. The mayor is very satisfied with their work: the Senegalese charge no more than local workers, but are willing to perform the heaviest and dirtiest work, and to work shifts on Saturdays and Sundays.
Russia has actively returned to the practice of hiring North Koreans, circumventing UN sanctions. However, according to investigators, the wages of North Korean workers go directly to the state; they themselves are held in the Russian Federation under slave-like conditions, supervised by special services, and can only receive their share of the money after returning home.
