The workers of the company that is building the Tirana-Elbasan highway
protested this Wednesday at the Ibe village, since they haven’t been
paid for the past seven months.

“This is supposed the only company in which we have regular agreements. These agreements say that we will be working until the project is finished. We haven’t been paid for the past seven months”, one worker says.

“We haven’t heard any promise from the government. This situation is unacceptable, because we haven’t received any explanation”, another worker says.

The salary mounts up to 300.000 per person. Workers say that if the company representatives will not react, the protest might continue by even blocking the main highway.

The company gave no comment for Top Channel, while workers have accepted several times the company’s offer for liquidation and leaving the post, but this hasn’t happened. Many of them have addressed their problem to the Ministry of Transports and the Road Directory, but they haven’t received any answer for the problem.
