Belarus industrial giant Minsk Tractor Works (MTZ) hesitates over the idea of a nationwide strike. State ideologues send out threats to workers and blackmail that if the strike continues, international partners will cancel their contracts with MTZ.

In this situation, it's very important to send a clear message to workers that they will be compensated, the same as all those repressed by Lukashenka's regime. People on Facebook already collected $0.7mln in support of strike participants but it's enough.

EU is one of the largest importers of MTZ production. Perhaps, MTZ partners In European Union might clearly state their position on the matter. It would serve as a powerful message to hesitating Belarusian workers.
