Management of Adriana Plus enterprise, a part of Pinskdrev wood processing holding, offered an unusual compensation for labour.

It was suggested that the workers should take sofas and fire wood instead of payments. When the workers expressed their dissatisfaction, they were told labour contract might be not prolonged and withdrawn.

As “Belorusski Partizan” reports, the administration wants to fill a gap in current assets for purchasing raw materials and supplies and fill the already filled stocks.

Pinskdrev, the biggest furniture manufacturer in Belarus, faced problems in exporting its production the Russian market. Export to Russia amounted to 80 per cent of the total output.
