Solidarity Center Report: Workers Make Gains in Georgia

Workers at the Zestafoni Ferroalloy factory in the Republic of Georgia successfully negotiated a contract after five months of negotiations with their employer that establishes 40 hours as the standard work week, provides employees with health coverage, boosts pay for overtime and more. Tamaz Dolaberidze, president of the Metal, Miner, and Chemical Workers’ National Trade Union which represents the workers, says the contract is the first collective agreement based on the principles of social dialogue and social partnership at Zestafoni. Find out more at the Solidarity Center.
