Construction workers who built facilities for the 2015 European Games have yet to receive their wages almost a year later. The company that contracted them, Azimport, has won over 700 tenders with the wholly state-owned State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) in the past 10 years.
“I was the one to tell other construction workers about this job. We were told the job needed to be completed urgently before the [European] Games kicked off. So we worked day and night for two months,” construction brigade leader Elshan Aliyev tells Meydan TV.
“We even completed the job two months before the Games. However, we still haven’t been paid the remainder of our salaries. Azimport representatives tell us that once SOCAR pays their fees, they will pay our wages as well,” he adds.
Construction workers who completed their job two months before the European Games last year claim that they had been working with the field manager Rauf Ismayilov and followed his instructions.
Azimport won a tender with SOCAR to undertake renovation works in the Shangai area of the Bayil settlement for the 2015 European Games. They have not paid wages to their 540 construction workers. Construction workers staged a protest last year demanding their salaries.
