With the motto “and workers against oppression”, they have marched dozens of citizens into the Square “Zahir Pajaziti” to express their dissatisfaction with the treatment of workers in Kosovo.
The deputy head of the Kosovo Energy Corporation, Nedzat Llumnica, ahead of protesters said Kosovo is one of the poorest states in the region, as well as private sector workers are the most oppressed.
“It is known that Kosovo is among the most violated states while participating in small protests. Workers are overpressed, so they do not protest. Do not give up unjust work”, it was said away.
“Make collective agreement now not before elections”.
Also its demand is recognition of years of work in the 1990s, as well as renewed collective contract.
Our next request is to recognize years of work in the 1990s. All those who worked in those years should be known for this right to work. And I beg the new government to start with this procedure soon. We have a collective contract that hasn't been approved since 2018, we demand that this contract be renewed. The implementation of the labour law, I believe employers have not read the labour law, since this law is being violated”, Llumnica said, among other things.
This protest is organised by the Council for Religious Thinking and Action, the Anarcho-Sndicanist Group of Pristina and Myriad. While the protest has joined several unions.
