"Two years without pay": Former ZTMK employee struggles to receive earned wages, 23 February 2024

Serhii Naboka, a former employee of Zaporizhzhia Titanium and Magnesium Plant (ZTMK), stated that he did not receive any wages during 2021–2022. After resigning last year, he and other affected colleagues turned to the trade union and later filed a lawsuit to claim their unpaid earnings. In October 2023, the court ordered the company to pay the debt, but the plant only paid 30% of the amount—and only to current employees.
