- A week of May holidays has been announced at Russia's AvtoVAZ
carmaker, its press service reported on Monday. This is done in line
with the regime of saving production costs and maintaining jobs.

May 4 to 8 have been announced days off at the enterprise with the
compensation of two thirds of average salaries as it is done during the
idle time.

The plant will be reopened on May 12. In May, the personnel engaged in
the production of Lada Priora, Lada Kalina, Lada Samara and Lada
2105/2107 makes will work four days a week in two six-hour shifts.

Workers producing Lada 4x4 vehicles will work five days a week in two
eight-hour shifts. The personnel not engaged in the production of cars
and urgent work will not work in May, but will get two-thirds of their
average salaries.

The plant seeks to avoid sackings. The decision on the week of holidays
has been coordinated with the plant's trade union committee.
Kindergartens, canteens and health centres will keep operating.
