Wages not paid out at failed glass producers

Two glass factories in insolvency proceedings, belonging to the troubled Bohemia Crystalex Trading, have not been able to secure funds to pay out workers’ monthly wages, a company spokesman has revealed. The funds for 1,750 employees laid off were to have been paid out this Friday and next week, but the accounts have been blocked since the company announced it would have to close down the two plants earlier this month. Union representatives and company heads have been negotiating a solution with the aim of paying out wages owed by the end of October.
