The protest of up to 350 workers of the Borjomi Mineral Water Bottling Factories No 1 and 2 continues. They are demanding higher salaries and better working conditions.

The company has announced the temporary suspension of operations at two of its plants to “avoid provocations staged by activists”. Borjomi Mineral Water meanwhile noted that it is ready to restore its operations as soon as “the illegal activities are over”.

Striking employees are planning a rally in front of Borjomi City Hall today. The Samtskhe-Javakheti majoritarian MP is trying to mediate between the parties, but the agreement has not been reached yet.
