Tensions have escalated over a strike at Evolution Georgia, with the live casino giant threatening large-scale layoffs to reduce its presence in the country.
The strike began in mid-July following allegations of poor working conditions at Evolution’s office and live gaming studio in Tbilisi, after trade union negotiations failed to reach an agreement.
A Georgian trade union announced that around 5,000 of Evolution Georgia’s 8,000 employees would participate in a strike starting on 12 July. However, Evolution subsequently said it anticipated that fewer than 500 employees from its Georgia operations would join the strike action.
“We do not expect any significant impact on our operational delivery from the studio,” Carl Linton, Evolution’s head of investor relations, told NEXT.io at the time.
