Online Casino Workers Demand Better Working Conditions Amid Strike
Workers Stand Up Against Unfair Practices
For over a month, thousands of online casino employees at Evolution have been protesting in Tbilisi, Georgia. They are voicing concerns over inadequate pay, harassment claims, and hazardous working conditions. The strike began on July 12 and intensified in August as reports emerged of company threats to exit Georgia completely as a response to the unrest.
Escalation of Protests
The situation escalated when striking workers attempted to block Evolution's entrance. Reports from Giorgi Diasamidze, the head of the employee union LABOR, detail instances where unmarked private security personnel were allegedly violent toward the protesters.
- Many workers suffered injuries, with severe claims of abuse.
- Non-uniformed guards reportedly ignored gender while attacking workers.
- Striker Mahare Patashuri faced hospitalization after 28 days of hunger striking.
In a written response, Evolution spokesperson Carl Linton acknowledged the situation but maintains the firm’s stance against the ongoing protests.
