13 minutes agoDay two of the miners' strike: Warning Boil as Milosevic's Time
Periskopi(7 years ago)
(7 years ago)Trepca miners have entered the second day of the general strike, in recognition of the indifference of Kosovo institutions. They require a 20 percent salary increase, no admission of workers without competition, and a meeting with the Trepca Board. Saber Ishmael, one of Trepca's miners, while showing their demands, does not [...]
Sabri Ishmael, one of Trepca's miners, as he shows their demands, cannot hold back my tears.
He says that among other demands, they want a 20% raise. They say it has been three months since the government pledged to meet their demands.
We miners are also employees of this state. We too have our legitimate and social requirements. We've asked for a raise of 20%”, says about RTV Dukagjin, Saber Ishmael.
From the council of workers Ferid Neziri, it also tears down as it shows that it is not ruled out that, in the sign of revolts for failing to comply with their demands, they will be confined to the mine.
The most radical measures could occur. Miners can be locked in the mine”, Ferid Neziri said.
After this emotion, his statement went on to Isuf Beqiri, also from the Workers' Council. He accuses all governments thus far of ignoring the miners' demands.
“Thaci has been two mandates, he has done nothing for us, Isa Mustafa the same, now Ramush is doing nothing.”, Isuf Beqiri said.
He also relates about a miner who had died at the workplace, but his family does not enjoy government contributions.
My son-in-law was drowned six years ago. I'm sorry to say, he went as if the wolves had eaten him. He has received 15 thousand euros even now his children do not enjoy a cent”, says Isuf Beqiri, of the Workers' Council.
Bekiri also tells of the serious working conditions miners face.
RTV Dukajini has also contacted the Ministry of Economic Development to take her stand on the demands and strike of Trepca miners, but the latter refused to respond.
