"News About Our Strike Dropped Bombshell": Protest In Hatava Continues

The money hasn't been paid to the workers yet.

We remind that since yesterday the workshops at the Prammekhanika plant in Hatavo have been closed down. The people stopped working, demanding payment of wages. They have been receiving money in installments since March. The company owes most of the people 2-3 thousand rubles and more. Today in the morning, the acting director met with the staff. But he never told the workers for sure when they would get paid, onliner.by writes.

- Today, we are back at the workshops, but we have not started working, - the workers said. - In the morning, the director returned from the prosecutor's office and at 9 a.m. he came to meet with us. He said that there was no money and that it would only be known by 2:00 p.m. how they would pay the plant. We continue the strike. And again, our condition is that we will start working when the money comes to the cards. Until then, we won't work.

Around 11:00, it became known that representatives of the regional executive committee had left for the plant.

- Apparently, yesterday's news about our strike has dropped a bombshell, - the workers say. - We were told that they would come to see the state of affairs at the enterprise, maybe help us somehow to get the Krasnaselsk plant to pay us back. We will keep you informed.

The Prammekhanika Plant is located in the village of Hatava near Minsk. Most of its shares are owned by individuals, some of them by Belresurs. Prammekhanika produces industrial equipment. The company's partners include such large enterprises as Belaruskali, Mazyrsol, Hranit, Pinskdreu, Ivatsevichydreu and so on. In total, the company employs about 100 people, half of whom are ordinary workers.
