KazMunaiGas Exploration Production, a unit of state-owned KazMunaiGaz National Co., said output declined after 1,000 workers walked off the job to protest the arrest of a company driver for alleged possession of heroin.
The workers, most of them drivers, haven’t reported for work since Oct. 21, when their informal leader was detained on his way to work in Zhanaozen, western Kazakhstan, Mikhail Dorofeyev, a KazMunaiGas EP spokesman, said by telephone today from the capital Astana.
