(7 years ago)Kosovo's Independent Union of the Private Sector, through a communique for the media, has asked incumbent Minister of Labour and Social Goods Skender Recica, Labour Inspectorate and company owners to care for the health of workers in these days when high temperatures are running in Kosovo. SPSPK says even [...]
The SPSPK says that even earlier, it has appealed for reduction of work hours or work to be done in two shifts, before and after.
This union says that for every lost life, the Ministry of Labour and Social Management will be responsible, as well as the owners of companies.
The state has its own mechanisms, at the same time its obligations, to deal seriously with this issue, so any loss of life of these responsible workers directly will be the Labour Ministry with its mechanisms and owners of the companies”, the statement concludes.
Meanwhile, Kosovo's Hydrometeorological Institute has suggested that the heat that has only begun to feel in Kosovo will only be the beginning of the African heat that is expected to extend over our region the following days.
Over the weekend, the Azores' anticyclone will extend over the Mediterranean and our region, which will favour stable, largely clear and sunny weather as temperatures continue to rise significantly above average values.
For today, minimal temperatures will vary from 16 to 19 degrees Fahrenheit [16 to 19 ° C] in maximum temperatures from 34 to 36 degrees Celsius.
According to recent forecasts, the African heat is expected to last at least until mid-week, and then temperatures are expected to drop around average values, possibly even for poor rainfall.
