(4 years ago)Kosovo Institute for Justice Director (IKD) Ehat Miftaraj in a proposal for Online Economy, is considering that non-executing salaries for strikers is contrary to the law.

He adds that it is arbitrary to suspend the strikers' salaries. In his view, strikers may even receive wages if they hand over indictments to the court but that the state will have triple expenditures.
Miftaraj says that if it is done as the Union government is saying it should receive 100 years of membership fees to pay the strikers only two months.
That is because, according to him, the union has an annual budget of 700 thousand euros, while each month the state pays salaries of up to 35m euros.
“Why the suspension of salaries is against legal, is the fact that the law for its Article 1 strikes stipulates that the purpose of this law aims to offer to you the rights and practices of strikers, as well as these rights should be interpreted in compliance with Kosovo's internationally applicable standards. The international standards in this case are the legal opinions of the international labour organisation”.
With the very fact that Kosovo is a new state and almost that the union's means, it has a limited budget to pay the strikers the days lost on strike it automatically forces the state not to take rhetorical measures by limiting the right to wage strikers. It is arbitrary to limit wages and to suspend the wage of strikers”.
Any teacher if you filed charges would secure salaries, other expenses would be introduced, as well as to the lawyer administrative fees, and, according to the estimate, 10,000 usually go for lawyers, the legal interest will have a triple state's obligations in relation to strikers”.
The state is reading the Law for Strikes, not interpreting it, initially tasked with reading and understanding it and international practices”.
“The SBASK within the year has a budget of 700 thousand euros, but if it wants to strike, I have to wait 100 years to collect 70m euros from membership, not making any additional expenses, because within the month, 35m euros in public sector alone is given to the union to receive membership for 100 years to pay the strikers two months”.
