Borjomi workers halt strike, production resumed

Employees of Borjomi's factories have suspended the three-week strike, Report informs.

IDS Borjomi Georgia has agreed to meet most of the demands of dissatisfied workers.

According to the agreement, some of the dismissed employees will be reinstated.

From tomorrow, sanitary and other preparations will be made at the mineral water packaging plants. Production will resume next week.

IDS Borjomi Georgia was sanctioned due to Russia's share in its capital and was forced to close two plants in late April. The strike began after the company introduced new conditions for the payment of salaries.

The owners of IDS Borjomi International recently offered 7.73% of the shares to the Georgian government for free. Thus, the Russian company Alfa Group lost control, and it was possible to protect mineral water production from the effects of sanctions.
