Periskopi(7 years ago)
(7 years ago)The collective agreement at KEK level, the provision of the ongoing jubilee salary, and not only for 2015-2017, revitriminating the Kosova A thermal power plant, revising the wage law, and increasing the food supply are the reasons for which the new KEK Union will protest today. And if it does not meet the requirements [...]
And if it does not meet their demands, unionists warn strikes.
KEK's new Union deputy, Nedzat Llumnica, says they have chosen the protest to submit their demands and give the Kosovo Government ultimatum to meet those requirements.
Llumnica in an interview for The KP, it says, is thus intended to get adequate attention from the government, as it says, they never had talks before the protests, only after them.
According to him, there are a host of requirements that are not implemented by the KEK management, nor by the Government of Kosovo.
Speaking of unionists' demands, Llumnica says that one of them is the collective agreement at the level of the sector, as KEK is the only public company in Kosovo that does not have collective agreements.
It also expresses the need for re-visiting the thermal power plant “Kosovo A”.
While another reason that prompted them to protest, it says there is the law on wages and the amount of food worth 3.5 euros, compared to 1.70 euros currently.
All in the end, Llumica says that so far they have not received any promises from the Kosovo government to meet any of the union requirements.
