The miners are preparing to organize the rally together with the trade unions. They urge the government to sign a contract to secure their salaries after the shaft is closed. The miners are skeptical about the investigation, but they welcome the initiative of the PM to close the shaft and hope that the government will fulfill its pledge.

"We want to tell the government and the company that if we do this, we should pay these people the salary and sign some written agreements, Bakhtadze made absolutely different statements and I want to be deeply convinced that this is not the process of wiping hands on Kvirikashvili" - declared the Trade Union Deputy Chairman Tamaz Dolaberidze.
