MOSCOW, Nov. 19 (UPI) -- A Moscow department's call for more than 1,000 Chinese nationals to work in the city has angered Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, officials said.
The city labor and employment department submitted a request to invite 1,146 Chinese nationals into Moscow, RIA Novosti reported.
"I would like to know who has given you the right to submit such requests on behalf of the (city) government without notifying anybody?" Sobyanin asked department chief Oleg Neterebsky.
Neterebsky said Chinese nationals are allowed to come to Russia to work in Oriental medical centers and in Chinese restaurants. But Sobyanin said too many Chinese are illegally taking positions in other jobs that should be filled by Russians.
"I have nothing against migrants -- the city needs them. I just want to understand what kind of specialists are needed and in what areas," Sobyanin said.
Sobyanin ordered the labor department to publish complete data on migrant workers on its Web site by Saturday to make labor issues more transparent.
