“The miners request remains unchanged from the wage increase. We demand
ACR administrator to not participate in the negotiations with the
mineworkers”, Nikolla declared.

Nikolla has declared that there have been attempts for dividing the miners, but all of them have failed by now.

The head of the Syndication Confederation, Kol Nikolla declared that the Ministry of Economy should oblige the ACR Company leaders to start the dialogue with the Bulqize miners, in order to end the hunger strike, which today enters its 17th day.

“The miners request remains unchanged for the wage increase. We demand that the ACR administrator should not participate in the negotiations with the mineworkers”, Nikolla declared.

Nikolla also added that there have been attempts for dividing the miners, but all of them have failed by now.

Miners block national road

On the 17th day of the hunger strike, the stance of the mineworkers and that of their family members has been radicalized. Dozens of supporters have blocked for more than two hours the national road Tirana-Bulqize exactly at the Qafe-Buall area.
The Police, assisted by the Special Forces, stayed ready by interfering several times for not aggravating the situation.

The mineworkers and the family members blocked the national axis as a sign of protest, after failing with the ACR meeting, while they warned another roadblock in the days to come.
