Mongolian workers of Petro China Daqing Tamsag LLC that runs oil operations in Tamsag area in Dornod aimag have reached a deal with the Directors of the company on payment issues after prolonged salary increase requests.

The Chinese directors promised to increase the Mongolian workers` salary up to 50-120 US dollars during a three-party negotiation included the workers Trade Union, the employer and the Government on the evening of Thursday May 30th.

Over 50 Mongolian workers delivered a request to increase salary and improve working condition to Petro China Daqing Tamsag  in April 2012.

But the Chinese employer kept delaying negotiations on the issue and failed to answer the request.

150 out of 750 Mongolian workers who are employed in Petro China Daqing Tamsag are support personnel whereas over 1500 Chinese workers are hired with more attractive salary than Mongolian workers.

Mongolian workers earn 300,000-400,000 MNT for 40 continuous working days. This is why the Mongolian workers insisted on a salary increase.

The Petro China Daqing Tamsag increased the salary for Mongolian workers to 100,000 MNT but the company put on more taxes instead so the employees could not benefit from  the salary increase.
