However, the membership fee is what bothers the most the workers. &#8220;We pay one-percent membership fee to the New Azerbaijan Party and&nbsp;they have ready-made applications that we have to sign, claiming that we want to deduct voluntary membership fees from salaries&#8221;, explains the oilman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to our interviewed, oil workers are convinced that the country&#8217;s leadership, as well as the party, are unaware of the deductions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The head of the Organization for the Protection of Oil Workers&#8217; Rights, Mirvari Gahramanli, told Meydan TV that her organization has received numerous complaints about the deduction and that workers are afraid of being fired if they do not sign the agreement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Gahramanli, employees who refuse to sign a ready-made application in connection with the transfer of one percent of all earnings to the New Azerbaijan Party are threatened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem of collecting mandatory membership fees is not new.&nbsp;In February of this year, employees of the state enterprise also&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.meydan.tv\/az\/article\/yap-uzvluk-haqqini-artirdi-konullu-yoxsa-mecburi-yigim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">complained about<\/a>&nbsp;the mandatory collection of party membership fees and the increase of membership fees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From 2013, the membership fee for the party was one AZR.&nbsp;At the end of last year, the party decided to set the membership fee at one-percent of party members&#8217; salary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;They have signed ready-made applications stating that we want to &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Mandatory one-percent membership fee payed to the ruling party bothers oil workers\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.meydan.tv\/en\/article\/mandatory-collection-of-membership-fees-to-the-ruling-party-bothers-oil-workers\/#more-243724\" aria-label=\"Read more about Mandatory one-percent membership fee payed to the ruling party bothers oil workers\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":243733,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_sitemap_exclude":false,"_sitemap_priority":"","_sitemap_frequency":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[80,37,38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-243724","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured-en","category-news","category-politics","infinite-scroll-item","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33","no-featured-image-padding"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mandatory one-percent membership fee payed to the ruling party bothers oil workers - MEYDAN.TV<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.meydan.tv\/en\/article\/mandatory-collection-of-membership-fees-to-the-ruling-party-bothers-oil-workers\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Mandatory one-percent membership fee payed to the ruling party bothers oil workers - MEYDAN.TV\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"&#8220;They have signed ready-made applications stating that we want to ...
