Baku / 25.05.17 / Turan: OJSC Euro-Asian Construction Corporation EVRACON does not pay wages to employees for the fifth month. The reason is lack of funds, Namik Kerimli, a member of the Supervisory Board, told Turan IA.
"The salary is issued late. This applies both to projects being implemented in Azerbaijan and beyond," the representative of EVRACON noted.
Today, the media reported that some of the workers involved in the Alat-Astara road construction project conducted a preventive strike in connection with not issuing salaries. Kerimli said he does not have information about this.
