The resumption of production is scheduled for June 20
After the end of the corporate holiday, AvtoVAZ plans to continue producing cars on Saturdays, as reported by the insider public “Atypical AvtoVAZ” on the social network “VKontakte”.
It is assumed that the production of cars will be organized on all conveyors. Under these tasks, specialists of the plant’s purchasing service are now working. Nevertheless, the decision on additional shifts will be made based on the expected situation with the supply of components. Based on this, the number of working Saturdays and the duration of shifts will be determined. Workers will be paid double the wages.
