Oyu Tolgoi LLC dismissed staff member S.Gantuya who then had sued the company at Sukhbaatar District Court claiming she was fired baselessly.

The trial was scheduled to take place at 9.00 am on Tuesday but a representative for Oyu Tolgoi LLC failed to attend the Court hearing. Instead, the largest project developer, Oyu Tolgoi LLC delivered a request to change the attorney. The trial was therefore postponed with no amended date. Attorney Urantsetseg had been the lawyer for the company.

Mongolian citizen, S.Gantuya, claimed that there are unfair differences between foreign and Mongolian staff even if they have the same qualifications.  She explained that Oyutolgoi LLC dismissed her because she delivered a notice to the company stating that Oyu Tolgoi had failed to evaluate Mongolians working ability.

S.Gantuya stated that Oyu Tolgoi LLC was campaigning its attorney against her, which means that the company is afraid of fair judgment.

S.Gantuya is to defend herself at the Court hearing because no attorney wanted to defend her during the case.
