I contacted ZAO Les (Republic of Bashkortostan)

Abramyan G.V. applied to CJSC Les (Republic of Bashkortostan) regarding the conclusion of an employment contract The personnel department explained to him that there are vacancies, including those related to his profession, but according to the decision of the Administration of the city of Ufa, all employers are required to hire citizens only in the direction of employment agencies and if there is a positive characteristic from their previous place of work . The decision of the local administration was caused by the fact that the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation, in connection with the complication of the situation regarding employment in this territory, decided to classify it as territories with a tense situation on the labor market.
Is the employer right? What are the powers of local governments to adopt legal acts in the field of employment? What powers are assigned to state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the field of employment promotion? What legal consequences arise if a subject of the Russian Federation is assigned to a territory with a tense situation on the labor market? Give examples from the legislation of the Russian Federation regarding the assignment of territories of constituent entities of the Russian Federation to territories with a tense situation on the labor market.
