Workers of Baku Deep Foundations Plant appealed to President, Prime Minister and law-enforcement authorities

08 February 2006 [09:50] - TODAY.AZ
Over 100 workers of the Baku Deep Foundations Plant (BDFP) named after Heydar Aliyev appealed to the President Ilham Aliyev, Prime Minister, law-enforcement authorities and mass media.

It is said in the workers' appeal sent to APA that rights of about 1500 workers are violated in BDFP: "Average salary of workers of the Plant is AZM500-600 thousand. While workers of the Joint Ventures Bos-Shelf and McDermott are provided with free of charge dinner, this right of the workers of BDFP is transgressed.

The workers working in the enterprise which brings in largest income in the country live under poverty conditions. We demand to raise our wages to the level of wages of workers of the Joint Ventures (that is, to increase by 3-4 times), provide the workers with free of charge dinner and to resume activity of the trade union which has been inactive so far."

It was impossible to get comments from BDFP concerning the appeal. Firstly it was informed in the Plant that the chief accountant Rafig Tarverdiyev will be at work on second half of the day and then it was reported that he will come to work tomorrow.

It should be noted that workers of the Bos-Shelf and McDermott Companies which are the joint ventures of BDFP also held protest actions for several times.
