168 ZHAM: NEW CHALLENGES FOR NAIRIT
09:00 * 30.10.14
The paper says it has learned from sources that the Ministry of
Energy and Nature Protection has submitted to the Government a package
proposing reforms for the rubber plant Nairit.
The package was due back in August; the submission was later postponed
until September 15-16 and then rescheduled until late-September,
writes the paper.
Commenting on the document's content, it says further that the two-page
package does not seem to address the plant's technical re-operation
issue. It proposes instead significant layoffs which will target first
the staff members who have reached the pension age, the paper says,
adding that the plant will thus cut down the employees' number from
2,246 to 478.
The paper says that a total of will $356,000 will be allocated later
for giving the salaries of the "privileged" and covering the plant's
maintenance costs.
"It isn't clear yet where the Government will find the money from. But
that isn't the only problem. As result of the reforms, Nairit will
lose its main specialists, becoming beheaded," comments the paper.
