Competing for workers with Eastern Europe, ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine’s largest integrated steel company, plans to increase employee salaries by 15-20% on May 1, according to Vmesh-Profinfo, the trade union news site. This increase follows a 44% increase last year, to an average monthly wage of $600. Personnel director Julia Chermazovich told trade union leaders last week that $11 million in ‘13th salaries’ would be paid by Friday. The increases come despite a 22% drop last year in the company’s steel production.
