The government vowed on Tuesday that for three years, it will pay a minimum wage to the oil workers of the Ballshi refinery.<\/p>\n

The development was confirmed by finance minister Delina Ibrahimaj<\/a>. She invited the oil workers to submit the necessary documentation near their office.<\/p>\n

The finance minister added that the list will be reviewed in order to check who is employed, unemployed, or recently retired.<\/p>\n

In regards to the spike in oil prices, Ibrahimaj asserted that the price will drop in the second half of the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cNevertheless, I would like to point out that we operate in a free market economy so we can\u2019t interfere with the price. However, we can compile other protective policies\u201d, she explained.<\/p>\n

In November 2020, the Albanian government said<\/a> it would guarantee a one-year salary of \u20ac322 to the 870 oil workers that protested for several months and even went on a hunger strike over a dozen arrears.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Oil workers who worked in the Ballsh refinery decided to enter a hunger strike after their continuous protests over unpaid salaries fell into deaf ears.<\/p>\n

For many years, Ballsh’s oil refinery has been crammed by bad management causing severe economic and social problems for its workers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
