Azem: Do not disturb prime workers, sign minimum wage increases

Yusuf Azemi said the situation of workers in the private sector is miserable.

We had a meeting with the prime minister, a few days ago where we were divided into disillusioned because when we asked him to implement the labour law collective agreement and minimum wage. He asked us why law and collective agreement are being implemented. As far as minimum wage is concerned, we ask the prime minister not to keep a category that takes 130 euros, and they want to have their own life just as the prime minister and his children have. Sign the minimum wage for mistaking private sector workers. With minimum wage growth from 170 to 250 budgets rising. We beg you not to play in the sweat of the workers and I don't know what the prime minister of the private sector can say to them tomorrow. We rejoice that salaries in the public sector, but Kosovo is the last country with the minimum wage. The prime minister is deliberately delaying the signing of the salary”, Azemi said.

While voicing concern for the workers' situation in the private sector.

” Express concern with the death of workers in the private sector. We beg your mind and think about the private sector because this situation is serious. State cooperation with irresponsible companies. The company Estemed's where workers have declared a serious state of work without employment contracts, where seven workers have left. This company didn't find any workers who had a job contract and didn't even pay contributions to the state. We have cases where private companies don't pay the Pension Trust. We have given ATK companies named and surnamed and still does not start anything”, Azemi said.

According to him in 2016, there are four cases of job deaths in 2017, 20 job deaths, and in 2018 there are 4 cases of the death of workers in the workplace.
