Staff of Georgia’s Poti on strike

The Georgian Black Sea port of Poti started a strike at 9 am. Workers demand higher wages and better labour conditions, as stated by Koka Sajaya, organizer of the trade union, Trend reports.

He explained that not a single demand has been fulfilled. The trade union was formed yesterday and consists of 17 leaders.

About 100 railway workers had a two-hour strike yesterday. The trade union of railroad staff and the United Trade Unions of Georgia joined the strike.
