Veteran of Labor, position and title of him in Russia

Veterans of war and labor in our country have always been respected and honored, since any person who is devoted to giving up his work or defending the Motherland is a worthy example for imitation. Each veteran of labor, whose status and legal status is enshrined in the constitution, has the right to receive certain benefits, as well as discounts on the payment of communal and other services. However, this title is not allotted to everyone, because a person should rightfully earn this status by his own labor.

In the Russian Federation, all issues related to the title of labor veterans are regulated by a special Regulation on the assignment of titles "Veteran of Labor", approved by the Ministry of Justice of our country. Regulations on the title of veteran of labor provides for the award of such persons to persons who have worked 40 years for all women and 45 years for all men. If a person started his labor activity before reaching the age of majority, and found the Great Patriotic War, the status is awarded with at least 40 work experience (for men) and 35 years (for women).

In addition, there is a special list of professions, the work in which is associated with harmful working conditions, which include work of increased danger, underground (mines, mines), as well as work with difficult working conditions. Citizens of such professions previously retire, and also have certain benefits.

To receive the title of veteran of labor, a person must apply to the local body of the executive committee and attach to him documents that can confirm his right to confer him the appropriate title. Such documents are the work book, medals and orders with the enclosed supporting papers, departmental labor awards and various insignia that were given to a person during his work activity. After submitting the entire package of documents for the designation of the title of "veteran of labor", a special commission is obliged within 15 days to consider and collectively decide whether to confer an appropriate status to a person or to make a justified refusal.

It should also be emphasized that the title of "veteran of labor" provision can be attributed solely to the authorities of the executive committee, and no enterprise can independently implement this procedure. A veteran of labor, whose position guarantees his right to use the designated benefits, has the following advantages:

1. The monthly monetary compensation for local city communication services is about 250 rubles.
2. Travel in most means of public transport is free of charge (except for taxis and minibuses).
3. A discount of 50% on utility bills (electricity, gas, water heating and so on).
4. A discount of 50% on the rent in case of a residence permit for a veteran of labor.
5. Free annual holiday in the sanatorium for treatment, which is fully paid by the state. To receive it, a person must apply to the district social protection office with the appropriate application.
6. Provision of food in urban canteens at the expense of the city budget.
7. Free manufacturing of some dentures, as well as dental treatment.

Thus, any veteran of labor, whose position is proved by an appropriate certificate, is entitled to receive appropriate benefits. It should also be emphasized here that from year to year the attitude of the public service to veterans is improving, and if a person falls under the category of beneficiaries, then the executive committee almost never refuses such a person to register him as a veteran of labor activity. This gives me hope that soon all veterans of labor and war will not only receive well-deserved privileges, but will also reach a good standard of living.
