Tbilisi. The "Young Economists’ Association” echoes the strike of workers in the Kazreti mine going on since February 14. The "Association believes it is time for the parties to use the right to appoint a mediator, because further prolongation of dispute significantly damages both parties. Further, we call on the Ministry of Labor, Health and Social Welfare of Georgia to effectively discharge its legal obligations in order to timely end the dispute by taking into maximum account the interests of both parties. We consider the state must apply new regulations of the Labor Code, thus demonstrating its efficiency or need for relevant amendments as at legislative as well as at enforcement levels,” says the released statement.
