Baku / 01.10.18 / Turan: Salyan Oil Ltd and the trade union committee operating under it filed lawsuits against the head of the NGO for the Protection of Oil Workers" Rights Mirvari Gahramanly and two former employees of the company, Zakat Abdullayeva and Mehpara Aliyeva. This is stated in the statement of the said NGO.
The company requires the defendants to compensate for material and moral damage (15,000 manat each) and 35,000 manat from the NGO that defends them.
The reason for the claim was the appeal to the court of the above-named employees who challenged their dismissal and protection of the women by the NGO for the Protection of Oil Workers' Rights.
