A decision on the number of Oltchim employees to receive social aid will be issued after the Government finishes checkups.
So far, authorities carried out 300-320 checks and estimate procedures will be finished on Friday at the latest.
Last year, the Government decided that people who own more than three heads of cattle, five pigs, 20 goats or over 15 bee colonies, will not receive heating aid. The same measure applies to owners of cars whose engine capacity exceeds 1.6 liters, owners of bank deposits that exceed 3,000 lei (EUR663) or of land of over 1,000 square meters.
On Monday, Campeanu said the Government would grant social aid of RON1,400 to each employee of Oltchim only if workers don’t receive their salaries for two or three months.
Oltchim employees have staged protests asking to be paid their wages for August and calling for the allocation of funds to resume production. They ended protests Wednesday after promises they will recover unpaid wages by October 17 and a plan on improving the company’s activity will be on the table by October 12. (EUR1=RON4.5262)
