Multiple Strikes Warned Cause of Bill on Salaries

The Salaries Bill is expected to be discussed Friday in Government, but many labour unions are dissatisfied with the content of this bill.

The Kosovo Police Union requires salary increases for police and wages for their job risk. The salary of a police official is about 470 euros, KTV reports.

Frustrated are fire fighters who seek the same salary as the police.

With the current bill, a fireman's salary totals 400 euros.

But, the government says there will be a change of the Bill on Salaries.

The National Co-ordinator for the State Reform, Besnik Tahiri, promises there will be increased salaries for police officers and other categories of workers.

Meanwhile, from Wednesday, the Jurydicature Workers' Union has warned a general strike.

The union's request is to raise wages 100 percent for about 2 thousand court administration workers and prosecutors.
