Rama guarantees oilmen a year's salary of 400,000 dollars

The government has guaranteed for a year wages of 400,000 dollars to 870 oilmen, who protested the last two months on hunger strike for tens of months of unpaid salaries and the closure of the refinery.
This has been the agreement agreed with oilmen and Prime Minister Edi Rama on Friday afternoon and was made by the chairman of the Union of United Oilmen, Sokol Dautaj.

Speaking after the meeting, Dautaj expressed satisfaction with his achievements with the government, but said oilers want the payments to start as soon as they have a serious economic situation.

We demand that the first four salaries be received by twos within this month, and that two other salaries be received next month. The idea of various companies being brought in, but we're skeptical. About 870 oilmen who were on the 2019 brothels were on the promised payroll,” ) said the chairman of the United Oil Union, Sokol Dautaj.

“The satisfaction that, which we've given as support to 870 oilers and refinery employees, is not easy, but we're convinced that we've done the right thing, putting a salary of 55 thousand gross money at this time, so 40 thousand neto dollars per 12 months in order for these people to have social health insurance and guarantees and guarantees to create a difficult situation,<1> confirmed to his prime minister's release for the press.

The prime minister said that this agreement significantly facilitates the situation for oil families, while discovering that the government is in contact with three large companies and “significant” for taking over the refinery.

In his address Rama pledged that the refinery would re-negotiate, but was justified with the fact that the pandemic has made the investment situation difficult.

Ballshi's fieldmen held around five o'clock today the second meeting with the prime minister to finalise a possible solution to their situation, with about 20 unspoiled salaries and unworked refinery.

The meeting took place at Fier's municipality facilities, a week after oilmen accepted the prime minister's proposal to suspend the hunger strike and sit in discussions with him.

At the first meeting, oilmen had agreed to stop the strike in exchange for the government's commitment to provide financial assistance, which was said to be something less than their salary, but more than the usual assistance given to unemployment.

Today, the finance ministry suggested that next year's budget had been revised, with a fund envisioned for $560m, or said otherwise about 4.5m euros.
