DISSOLVED COMPANY'S WORKERS DON'T WANT TO SHARE THE FATE OF THE NAIRIT WORKERS

Today, the former employees of Kentron Makrutyun(Central Cleaning),
a company that dissolved late last year, gathered in a protest in
front of the Presidential Palace demanding their unpaid salaries.
"For three months we've been going back and forth from city hall
to the district municipality. We've lost all home in the district
municipality, that's why we've come to ask for our money from the
President. If not, then we don't have a president, we'll petition to
the presidents of Russia or USA," said one of the company's former
employees, who did not wish to be named.
Protest participants said the company had not allowed them to take
their vacations for years, claiming that they did not have money for
vacation pays. "Among us, there are people who have worked for 10
years straight and have large sums of money to receive. For example,
I have 689,000 AMD ($1,440)," noted a protest participant.
A Presidential office staff member told demonstrators that a commission
has been created in the district municipality to deal with the
Kentron Makrutyun company employee issue. The staffer advised them
to go to the district municipality instead of protesting in front of
the Presidential Palace.
"They tell us to write a petition about how much debt we're owed. As
if they don't know? Will they give us 2 million, if we write the sum?
They going to look at it and count it, aren't they? Basically, its
another way for them to trick us," said a protester.
The former employees of Kentron Makrutyun fear that they will be
treated like the Nairit factory workers, that the company will respond
to them saying that it is impossible for them to pay the workers'
until the company's property is sold.
Note, that Kentron Makrutyun company was dissolved on December 1,
2014, while the company's 315 workers were informed about the news
on December 20.
