Civil servants: Government not open competitions without setting up current workers

The reduction of ministries from 21 to 15, has increased the need for resystemising civil servants in respective dictatorships.

And this is being regarded as a major concern for their positioning. The Civil Service Union in Kosovo is even seeing it as contrary to the laws adopted in the Kosovo Assembly.

Kosovo Civil Service Union Chairman Mursel Zymberi, in an interview for Online Economy, said SSCK would guarantee you labour rights to enable transfer to equivalent positions.

But he has criticised Government, as he thinks management will be a problem and that he will turn ministries to zero.

“Offices of the specific ministries which are scheduled to be reproduced in joint ministries with specific dictatorships are of great concern and their position on where they will remain. It had to be well planned on how to carry these officials to certain ministries if they were affected by their basic right to dignified work and not discriminated against the positions they currently hold”.

The political agreement is often happening to be contrary to laws that Kosovo Assembly has adopted. More recently, there is a lack of employment available, but I say that civil service law guarantees labour rights or is transferred to ministries or transferred to equal positions. How these will be managed means we'll be back from zero”, Zymber said.

Among other things, Zymber has asked the Kurt government not to have competitions for new workers until the moment civil servants are deployed.

According to him, these rights are guaranteed by the law and the government has no right to endanger jobs.

Among other things, Zymber has indicated that the workplace is endangered by chiefs of personnel, permanent secretary, department directors and chiefs.

“Government Kurti should think that within the government's term these officials will think of the shape of how it's going to fusion. In the first place not to accept other young workers because it is a certain number of public officials who retire or release their jobs. The new conferences are not until these officials are deployed to their jobs. The law guarantees it, and the government does not risk it. The departments will work, endanger the position of staff chiefs, permanent secretaries, department directors and chiefs”, Zymber told EO.

More than The SCK announced that in the event of government abuse, union actions will be inevitable.

“If civil servants are abused they will know how to reflect on the basis of the law which guarantees union action will be inevitable if the Kurti government does not address the position and improvement of civil servants and, rather, risk the position of”, he said.

Days ago, the government made a decision to dismiss some ministries' secretaries, who it said would be on the reserve list.

While, there is still no decision about what will happen to them for the rest of the ministries that are “developed”.
