Deputies of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and Senator Gibatdinov proposed to equate teachers and doctors with civil servants

MOSCOW, September 13 - RIA Novosti. State Duma deputies from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and Senator Airat Gibatdinov proposed expanding benefits for teachers and medical workers, equating them to civil servants and giving them the right to additional payments and salary increases, but without the restrictions provided for by law for civil servants.

Parliamentarians will send the corresponding bill to the government for review on September 14. A copy of the document is at the disposal of RIA Novosti.

“The bill provides for amendments to Article 13 of the Federal Law “On the State Civil Service of the Russian Federation”, according to which: the status of teaching and medical workers of state and municipal educational and medical organizations will be equal to the status of state civil servants,” says the explanatory note to the bill.

The document also assumes that teaching and medical workers will receive the right to social guarantees, the list of which is provided for by law. Among them: “health insurance, state pensions, increased wages, and so on.”

It is noted that the restrictions provided for officials will not apply to this category of workers.

“(Medical and teaching workers will also receive - ed.) the right to additional payments and monthly salary increases, as well as a fixed salary exceeding the minimum wage,” stated the authors of the initiative.

In a conversation with RIA Novosti, the co-author of the bill, Senator Airat Gibatdinov, called doctors and teachers the real elite who create the future every day with their own hands.
