Why are Evolution Georgia’s employees on strike?

On 12 July, employees of Evolution Georgia, an online gambling platform, began a strike demanding better working conditions and pay and an end to abusive behaviour by the company’s management. Evolution Georgia, which positions itself as a leading employer of students, is a subsidiary of a company headquartered in Sweden.

This week, we spoke to Giorgi Kajaia, an Evolution Georgia employee on strike, about why he chose to go on strike and the employees’ demands, and to the Social Justice Center’s Salome Shubladze about the legal aspects of the strike, and the Evolution Georgia’s obligations towards the striking employees.
