Miners go on strike in Chiatura

Miners went on strike in Chiatura. The strikers are gathered in front of the City Hall. They demand a 50% salary increase. According to the miners, the economic crisis and the depreciation of the lari will have a negative impact on their situation as wages remain unchanged. In this respect, they demand an increase in remuneration, otherwise they threaten to continue the rally and take radical forms.

A representative of the labor unions arrived on the spot.

Paata Samkharadze introduced the company's offer to the protesters - a salary increase of 250 GEL and a supplement to the holidays. Samkharadze said that at this stage the protesters have not responded to the offer and continue to protest.
