EMPLOYEES THREATEN TO STAGE A STRIKE
Support A1+!The miners of Agarak's copper molybdenum factory will go on strike from November 11 in case their demands are not met. They staged a warning strike on November 5-6.
The factory administration has decided to send over 300 employees to a forced outage and fire 50 pensioners. Most residents of Meghri and Agarak make their daily bread thanks to the factory which once employed 1300 people. Residents of frontier settlements have no other source of income.
The miners accuse the acting director, Georgian Gerogy Devadze Guramov, of this mess. Guramov assumed the post in January of this year. The strikers state the director utilizes the company’s income for his personal interests. Gerogy Guramov declined to comment on the awkward situation. Instead, he connected it with the financial crisis at the international market.
