OREANDA-NEWS. It was held a meeting of the staff at AvtoVAZ, dedicated to meeting the obligations and activities of the collective agreement for 2014.

"We have agreed and signed the agreement that reductions of workers this year will not be - the conference chairman of the trade union organization of the enterprise Sergey Zaitsev informed the reporters about some of the outcomes of meeting. – “In the case of deterioration of the situation, we are ready to consider various options to reduce working time, but always keeping the team. There are options to work with the government, but it's already in one and the same issue. The employer, represented by the President, confirmed that the cuts on DSIS more of the stated figure, which was sent at the beginning of the year (1100 employees) in 2015 will not be .... "

At the beginning of last year, I was quite pessimistic about sales, and everyone said that I'm wrong. This year I am more optimistic, and again everyone say that I am wrong. Let's see.

For Renault and Datsun we will produce as much as they want to buy from us. And we are very optimistic about the export. Last year we sold for export 51,000 LADA cars, and today we have orders for 70 thousand..."
