According to Vice-Mayor Irakli Khmaladze, both sides are willing to reach an agreement.
“We will go and meet the employees of Gldani metro who are on strike. We will try to reach agreement with them,” Khmaladze added.
Kaladze has yet to comment on the meeting, so it remains unknown when the metro will resume working.
Trade union Unity 2013 says the decision will be made after consulting all the employees who are on strike.
On Monday afternoon, the movement Auditorium 115 released a letter supporting the metro employees.
The movement says the metro staff deserves higher salaries than some City Hall employees.
“Metro workers spend more than half of their lives underground, in excessive noise, vibration, radiation and lack of oxygen…They transport around 400 thousand people per day. They really deserve higher salaries than Tbilisi Vice-Mayors, Heads of Departments and Governors,” the statement of Auditorium 115 reads.
Later, the students held a protest rally in solidarity with the metro workers.
