Workers of the foil-rolling floor of CJSC "RusAl Armenal" are
going to send a letter to President Serzh Sargsyan with a complaint
about breaking of their labour rights, a lawyer, director of the
judicial company "Lev group", Levon Bagdasaryan, said at today's
press-conference.
He said that more than 100 workers of the foil-rolling floor
signed under the letter. They are been working in an extremely hard
and dangerous conditions for their health and require dirt money,
which the leadership of the company do not pay them. Moreover, they
have been threatening by mass dismissal if the workers do not stop
complaining. As for the workers, they are not going to hold a strike,
but are ready "to fight for their rights to a finish", Bagdasaryan
said. He also added that it is already for 18 months that the workers
are at law with the leadership of the company and the case is still
underway. He said that workers of a similar floor of "RusAl" get dirt
money in Russia, but do not get in Armenia.
According to the law, workers of the foil-rolling floor become
pensioners earlier than other workers. They also pass medical
examination every year as they are working in harmful conditions. The
average monthly salary of a worker at "Armenal" is 150thsd drams
($366).
As press-secretary of "RusAl Armenal" Aleksandr Melkumyan told
journalists today, according to the legislation, the foil-rolling
floor is not harmful. For this reason, no dirt money is foreseen for
its workers. Moreover, Bagdasaryan is wrong saying that the workers
of the foil-rolling floor of "RusAl" get dirt money, as they do
not get such money either, he said. As for an obligatory medical
examination, all the workers of "Armenal" pass medical examination
without exclusion. Melkumyan also added that only the workers which
are working at the hot shop - casting and rolling shop, get dirt money.
