The slave treatment of the workers at ETC...

Although it is one of the biggest companies in Kosovo, Ramiz Kelmendi's Elkos Group has no union.

And that doesn't bother the boss.

He even says that he would not like a union that damages the company's image, reports Periscope.

According to him, such union would accept legality and respect the rights of workers.

The way union organization was meant to be a genuine union organization, which really plays the interests of workers, would not be a problem. But we know that a part of union organisation protects workers and interests, and that in a way is damaging the image of union organisation through the firm”, Kelmendi told Radio Free Europe.

It was often reported on the work of up to 12 hours of workers at various parties and offerings, reports Periscope.

It is even said that workers work up to 12 hours a day, free of charge for overtime.

Long ago, Periscope had contacted some disgruntled workers with the use of their company.

They had confessed that the company had not paid them a penny for their post-time work.

Meanwhile, Article 56 of the Labour Law clearly determines that the employee is entitled to additional wages for work longer than full - time work.

According to a score of 2.3 of this article, the employee who continues working overtime, according to the employment contract and the Kolective contract, is entitled to compensation of 30 percent for overtime work.

What's even worse and what makes the treatment of workers similar to the treatment in the civil servant system, throughout this maratonic working schedule, the ETC workers are not allowed off for more than 30 minutes.

The workers were not publicly presented with names because they were afraid they would lose their jobs.

The biggest importer of Serbian goods in Kosovo, Ramiz Kelmendi, has not rarely been part of media reports of the workers' dissatisfaction with the treatment and violation of their rights, which is guaranteed with the Labour Law of the Republic of Kosovo./Periscopi
