Automotive workers strike in Kaluga | Signalfire

Automotive workers at the Benteler plant in Kaluga southwest of Moscow went on strike on Thursday night demanding higher wages, a trade union spokesman said.

?Now more than 50 workers are on strike at the factory and another 50 from other plants in Kaluga have arrived to support their colleagues at the plant entrance,? said Dmitry Kozhnev, the Kaluga coordinator of the inter-regional car industry trade unions.

The plant workers are demanding wages equal to their conterparts at the neighboring Volkswagen plant, which receives Benteler-made car components. The Benteler Automotive managers were not immediately available for comment.

Riot police have arrived at the scene but are watching from a distance, Kozhnev added.

?I?ve been politely warned that police might start arresting people,? Kozhnev said.
