The tone of these is more towards Zaza bashing rather than employee rights, I’m sceptical of the veracity of this

Giorgi Tatishvili also exposed Zaza Mamulaishvili’s lies when he said that allegedly the state owed some debt to the oil company: "The state has zero debt to Frontera Eastern Georgia," said Giorgi Tatishvili at the meeting. Many more violations were revealed at the meeting by employees: for example, the fact that the CEO of the company arbitrarily violated the terms of the employment agreement and reduced employees' remuneration without any written agreement; Notwithstanding the sale of 5500 tonnes of crude oil, their due salaries were not reduced, to the contrary, increased, citing the fact that the company had another, much more significant debts to pay...
“Although the company is private and it is a dispute between private parties, more than 130 Dedoplistskaro' residents work in it, the fate of each of our compatriots is important to us. Therefore, the government will protect its citizens as much as possible, ”Nikoloz Janiashvili said at the meeting.
According to Giorgi Tatishvili, if there is a deal between Frontera and the state, the government's No. 1 reservation will be to payment of due salaries by the company. The head of the agency also noted that there are alternative ways, including a court ruling. In case of any of them, the interests of Frontera employees will be protected.
The employees that were financially damaged have announced a general strike since November 28, pointing out that this is a compulsory step to prevent irresponsible management of the company from selling the oil. To get to the wells, they have no fuel and there is transportation provided. Frontera's employees have appealed to the Georgian Oil and Gas Corporation for the necessary measures to prevent the abandonment of wells and causing any environmental catastrophe.
Representatives of the oil company thanked Nikoloz Janiashvili and Giorgi Tatishvili for their support and expressed hope that the problem would be resolved soon.
According to Frontera Eastern Georgia employees, state institutions are now assisting them in finding justice. “Until now, we were hesitant to bring the case to court because we did not think that the company, which has been operating since 1997 and headed by Zaza Mamulaishvili, would abandon us. This company became our second family, so we were careful and thought the situation would be resolved inside, but patience also has its limits. Now the state institutions are helping us and we hope that justice will be celebrated”, said the meeting participants.

Frontera Eastern Georgia Employees – the Fight Goes On
“We have involved the state institutions…”
Employees of the Georgian-American oil company Frontera Eastern Georgia, which have several months of debt, have exhausted all forms of peaceful dialogue with the company's CEO, Zaza Mamulaishvili. After the rally outside the US Embassy, ??the victims took legal battle tactics - they petitioned to the Georgian State Oil and Gas Agency and filed a lawsuit.
On November 27, Dedoplistskaro Municipality Mayor Nikoloz Janiashvili met with the head of the State Oil and Gas Agency of Georgia, Giorgi Tatishvili, with the staff of the Frontera Oil Company.
According to Frontera's representatives, the company has not been paid their salaries for 10 months. As the head of the agency noted, "They have had problems with the Frontera Eastern Georgia for a long time. In particular, despite a request from the State Oil and Gas Agency, the company did not provide them with information on the amount of oil extracted. Frontera was even fined for this misdemeanor. The penalty was GEL 5,000. “How the relationship between the company and its employees was regulated, the agency had no information about it until you appealed to us about it”, - Tatishvili said.
