About 2000 employees of the Rustavi Azot JSC (Nitrogen plant) continue their strike. They demand a 50 per cent rise in wages.
Rustavi Mayor Irakli Tabaghua is holding a meeting with the plant’s striking employees. He will mediate between the protesters and management.
The protest participants plan to collect signatures to establish Trade Union. They keep the entrance to the plant blocked and allow vehicles carrying oxygen to hospitals only.
