Several hundred workers of an idling chemical plant in Yerevan again
gathered near the Presidential Palace on Thursday to demand their
back wages and more certainty about the future of their enterprise.
The protesters told media that the plant owes them salaries for 18
months. Another concern of the mostly furloughed workers is that
they will be dismissed from their jobs in February as part of a
'rehabilitation plan' for the plant.
According to reports, new contracts will be signed only with a third
of about 1,500 workers who have been on partly paid leave for four
years now.
This is not the first time that Nairit workers stage protests near
government offices, but the future of the sole chloroprene rubber
producer in the entire post-Soviet space still remains unclear.
