NAIRIT PLANT EMPLOYEES PROMISE TO START HUNGER STRIKES AND SITS-IN
13:27 | February 20,2015 | Social
Hundreds of employees of Nairit chemical plant have gathered outside
the government building to demand again their unpaid salaries.
Earlier this week, Alexander Ghazaryan, Head of the Government
Department that deals with the acceptance and discussion of citizen
requests, promised that the government would respond to the group's
demand to fix a payment schedule for their due salaries on Friday.
However, the group has been waiting outside the government main
building for more than an hour but no one has come out to talk to them.
Talking to A1+ the angered employees said the government is continually
cheating them trying to win time. They say that if things continue
this way, they will start hunger strikes and sits-in.
At present, the group is chanting, "We want our salaries!" "We do
not want to become refugees!" "Protect the constitutional rights of
Armenian citizens."
Nairit Plant CJSC, which produces chloroprene rubber and was considered
a giant of its kind during the Soviet era, hasn't been operating since
2010. About 1700 employees of the plant were laid off in February 2015.
