Our waste management industry is facing a serious challenge due to the mobilization of workers of conscription age. This can lead to a critical situation and shutdown of the enterprises.
The Special Law of Ukraine "On Mobilization Preparation and Mobilization" does not contain any provisions that would grant a deferral to employees of enterprises operating in the field of waste management, although the said Law stipulates that during martial law the population of our country should be provided with food and non-food products, medical care, communication services, transport, utilities and household services in an uninterrupted and standardized manner.
It is therefore unclear how these utilities, which include household waste management services, will be provided in an uninterrupted and rationed manner if the enterprises in the sector are simply unable to provide them because their staff has been mobilized. The staff of these enterprises is predominantly made up of men of military age who have specialized skills and cannot be replaced by workers from other industries. Their mobilization will lead to the collapse of the waste management system in Ukraine.
The Association "Ukrainian Ecological Alliance" asks to amend the current legislation of Ukraine regulating mobilization and to provide for provisions in other legal acts on deferral for employees of waste management enterprises to avoid systemic collapse and national problems.
