    EMPLOYEES DEMAND THEIR SALARIES

    A1+
    [07:52 pm] 24 December, 2008

    Employees of Nairit Ltd staged a protest action in front of the
    government building on December 24. They demanded their salaries of
    November. The protesters said they had been paid only 30% but they
    needed the whole sum.

    "All senior workers have been sent home while others go to work and
    get a high salary. Why should we be discriminated against?" complained
    chemist Susanna Antonyan.

    The Company employs 2742 people but most of them are presently on a
    forced leave.

    Assistant director Karen Poghosyan ensured they will soon be given the
    two thirds of their salaries. He also noted that the global economic
    crisis had greatly affected their activities and product circulation.

    Protester Alvard Hakobyan says she feeds four underage children with
    a 35.000-dram salary but today she is deprived of the ridiculous sum.

    The protesters were received by the RA Ministry of Energy and Natural
    Resources Armen Movsisyan who promised to tackle the issue by the
    end of the week. The Minister promised to visit the factory after
    the holidays.

    The company administration pledges to pay off the remaining debt of
    287 million drams by the turn of the week.

    Note that 90% shares of the company belong to Rhinoville Property
    Ltd and the other 10% to the Armenian Government.
