Post tonight about oil being transported by BOCA whilst ex employees protest peacefully??
https://www.newsgeorgia.ge/byvshie-rabotniki-kompanii-frontera-proveli-akciju-protesta-v-dedoplisckaro/
Several dozens of people gathered at the company's office in Dedoplistskaro, and do not pass trucks carrying oil.
Frontera probably already sold this oil, and another company wants to take it out. We are against this and act within the law. We demand to pay salary arrears for 11 months, ”the protesters said.
Drivers whom protesters do not miss said they were hired by Boca and arrived to transport oil, but have been waiting for loading for more than two hours.
In this situation, the protesters accuse the director of the company Zaza Mamulaishvili and demand his dismissal. They also demand that the Ministry of Economy immediately connect to the issue of paying them debts.
“We barely breathe, our economic situation is so difficult. We have bank debts, our houses are being sold. And now they are claiming that the company has incurred losses due to our strikes and are threatening to deduct the amount of damage from our salaries, ”the protesters said.
Recently, former Frontera employees held a protest in Tbilisi. The protesters had two basic requirements - that they were paid wage arrears and reinstated in their previous positions.
Zaza did ask them to assist the company in the difficult time. He assured them they would get paid but the company had to make difficult decisions to keep the company alive. Lose the company and everyone loses out and that includes jobs lost permanently. It seems someone decided to lead a move that unless they paid up now, workers would stop all work and cause issues.
This move obviously would cause more harm than good. I wonder if Russian influence led these workers down a one way path instead of negotiation and cooperation.
As painful as it is to not be paid half of your salary for 2 years, (11 from 24 months) You sometimes need to look at what is reasonable and possible. Chances are they would be being paid now and some back pay coming soon, instead they went down a road that means its even harder for the Company to pay.
I think they should have assessed the consequences and perhaps used a better negotiator that could see a way forward for both sides. Its almost like someone wanted to make a poor situation worse for political propoganda.
I wonder how many wish they had stayed and at least had some money coming in rather than the zero now.
Maybe time the workers went back to Zaza, and negotiated a return with back pay in future and income now for some positive work to enable that to be realised.
I do feel for them but feel they shot them selves in the foot or rather got led like lemmings over a cliff.
Hi Pyro,
You must be busy with all flood alerts etc.
Something not right here as think 1m GEL figure was quoted as being total salary’s owed which is about £300k and also would workers stop oil as no delivery no revenue so no wages as they must know it is a stupid move.
Unless of course they are being “ directed” which seems to be the case.
But GOGC has seized all infrastructure. What do they return to work to do?
In layamans terms FTI are responsible here IMO.
Nothing more. And they intervened etc etc
You never know, HOPE might come out on top here and produce a rabbit, if not ZM will, if not then Russia will.
Pfft. The story never ends
Very busy as can be seen on the floodwarn facebook page, i was up until 4am Sunday morning. I warned at 10pm that a severe flood warning should be issued but it was not. basically it was issued after the flood had entered houses. A bit like closing stable door after the horse has bolted.
Emergency services have been amazing thou, but risk is high of further localised flooding tomorrow night.
