Companies laying off staff can help startups
RBC, 25.03.2009, Moscow 17:19:52.Companies that lay off staff can help their redundant employees start up their own businesses, Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin stated during a meeting with leadership of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Russia and primary trade union organizations today. "Simply giving money is not enough," the PM stressed. He noted that companies planning large-scale layoffs could set the stage for the emergence of minor firms "around large corporations." Furthermore, local governments should promptly provide inceptive businessmen with such opportunities as premises and communications. The PM observed, however, that many measures approved by the government failed even to reach regional heads, and he urged trade unions to take more efforts to expound on the opportunities within regional employment programs to Russians.
