Three employees of Yerevan Metro have been fired over the recent
rallies against the pension reform, I Am Against pressure group
reports.

This is a vivid manifestation of pressure on the employees who raise
their voice of protest in defense of their violated rights, says the
initiative group.

“The initiative stands on the side of these workers and finds the
dismissal to be another attempt to silence and threaten the angered
employees who are trying to restore their violated rights through
protest actions. We urge all concerned citizens, specifically lawyers,
to show their support and file lawsuits to defend the interests of
these citizens. We also suggest raising funds to assist these people.

At the same time, we urge employers to provide these people with job
for them to be able to feed their families,” the initiative said in
a release.

On Wednesday, employees of Yerevan metro joined the ranks of
demonstrators rallying against the controversial pension reform
that envisages up to 10% deductions from monthly wages which will be
transferred to the mandatory funded system
