Deno Gold Mining Workers Stop Strike

DENO GOLD MINING WORKERS STOP STRIKE

ARKA
Jan 22, 2010

YEREVAN, January 22, /ARKA/. Over 200 workers of Canadian-owned Deno
Gold Mining plant in southeastern Armenia who refused to show up for
work on January 17 morning demanding a wage rise, stopped the strike,
Norayr Aghayan, a spokesman for the company, told ARKA news agency
Thursday.

The company’s administration had developed a special pay rise package,
but the workers would not agree to it.

‘The strike is over as the workers have accepted the proposed pay
rise that calls for a 30-60 percent wage rise,’ Norayr Aghayan said,
adding that some workers demanded doubled pays.

The Deno Gold Mining Company is located near the town of Kapan,
the administrative center of Syunik. It develops the Shahumian
poly-metallic and the copper-pyritic mines of Kapan ore dressing and
processing combine.
