KHUJAND, October 7, 2008, Asia-Plus — The Khujand limited liability company, Dousti Amirkhon, has filed suit against 56 residents of the Sughd province who had been sent to Poland for seasonal work in the construction sector.
Speaking in an interview with Asia-Plus, the Dousti Amirkhon director general Khayrullo Mukhtorov said on Tuesday that the company intends to exact 67,200 US dollars from them.
“This amount includes travel expenses, medical insurances and registration of one-year work permits for 56 Sughd migrant workers, who were going to be employed in Warsaw in April 2006,” the director general said.
“When we were recruiting working we said that we need skilled specialists,” said Mukhtorov, “They assured us that they are highly skilled specialists and after necessary procedures, they were sent to Poland to work with the construction company J.W. Construction Holding. They were placed in a comfortable dormitory.”
When the work started it turned out that persons who said that they are plumbing specialists have not the remotest notion of work they should do. The other part of the migrant workers who had arrived in Poland to work as builders engaged in driving cars from Poland to Tajikistan. “At present, only eight of those 56 people work with J.W. Construction Holding and they earn good money,” Mukhtorov noted.
Dousti Amirkhon is currently making preparations to send four other specialists to Poland. According to Mukhtorov, J.W. Construction Holding is accept more people for seasonal works but Dousti Amirkhon does want to risk any more and this time, it sends only thoroughly-checked specialists.
