By the decision of the Volyn regional branch of the Committee of National Salvation, the position of the strike committees of the region on an active scheme of the strike movement was supported. Currently, in order to implement the decision, representatives of the National Salvation Committee are working with strike committees of various professional environments. Thus, as a result of the decision adopted by Lutsk educators to join the nationwide strike, starting tomorrow, vacations have been announced in general education institutions until December 5, 2004. Such a decision was adopted by the Lutsk city mayor on November 29. School principals have been tasked during January-May 2005 to ensure the implementation of educational programs, and educators have been granted days off until December 5 with subsequent make-up work. Last week, general education institutions of Lutsk announced support for the strike; until today, they had been joining mass actions only after 3:00 p.m.
