Meri Soghomonyan, Aravot
On 15 March Deno Gold Mining Company held meeting with journalists...the Aravot applied to Administrative Director Hrach Jabrayan to present the official data on the situation in the company...What about additional payments, Mr. Jabrayan noted that the company should mine 600,000 tons of ore per year or 50,000 tons of ore per month, additional payments are envisaged, if monthly standard is 45,000 tons or more. “In February the workers, who mines 35,000 tons, came and said they needed bonuses. The administration tells them to receive their salaries of 220,000 AMD and to leave the building, bonuses will be when mining will be over 45,000 tons The worker mines 900 or 1000 tons per day instead of 1600 tons. If they deal with stealing for 4 hours, definitely they won’t perform their plans. We detected 4 cases of theft during 5 days and another case was detected today,” Jabrayan said. He also commented on employees’ statements that the plans have been performed, but the machines are in a poor state, this is how they explain poor indicators. “In 2012 the company spent US million for the repair of trucks. But when we opened the engine of cars, we find sand there, which means somebody has poured it there. They say they can’t perform the plan designed for 10 workers, so why to work so hard. That’s why they destroy cars and don’t think they cost 50,000 USD. And then 20 or 30 dissatisfied workers don't mean they represent all 1200 employees. They wanted to create a problem, but I told them to write an application and to resign. Today they came and wanted to intimidate us, but I'm not that kind. Dismissed Armen thinks, if he collects 55 people, he will come and intimidate me, but I collect 1000 people. I run this enterprise and we should decide who will be employed there or not,' Jabrayan said. We speak about Armen Khurshudyan, who was dismissed without any reasons and explanations, under him. Hrach Jabrayan replied that there are three reasons for dismissing him. 'First of all, he a thief, secondly he stated in the presence of 55 employees, he will attend Raffi Hovhannisian's rally (ex presidential candidate from opposition) in the uniform of Deno Gold and will complain to him the company doesn't pay any bonuses. Thirdly, he created a situation for strike. Yesterday evening they tried to convince the employees not to go down to the galleries, but after an hour and a half they went down. They were told if they didn't go down, they would be fired. The law says it, if you miss over 3 hours, you are fired,' Jabrayan said.
