Workers at Yerevan's Nayirit Rubber Plant have once again raised their voices, demanding that they get paid several months of back wages.
Rafik Petrosyan has been on paid leave since February 2010. He's been working at the plant for twenty years as a locksmith. He hasn't been paid wages for nine months. Rafik gets two-thirds of his regular salary while on leave.
The plant owes Rafik about one million AMD in back wages. He's been forced to work odd jobs to maintain a family of six.
Another worker, who wished to remain anonymous, told me he received his wages for December 2011 this September. He hasn't received any wages for 2012. Yet another worker, who was laid off six months ago, it still waiting for the plant to settle up and pay him what it owes.
