Over 3,000 employees of this company agreed on Friday to protest in Pristina in front of KEK offices. “Just as it's growing in every wage sector [...]
The same way it's growing in every sector of wages, so we demand growth in KEK because of the specifics KEK has and KEK workers. KEK workers hold out of 3 jobs, KEK workers working in the rain, in the snow, KEK workers work at night and days to light Kosovo, while the only ones are KEK workers who have not been able to raise the” wage, said Jelal Jashar, KEK worker.
“We are very satisfied with production but with absolute income not. Because the whole cause of inflation. Every day of various awards we can't make ends meet with the monthly income of”, said Haxhi Kastrati, a KEK worker.
Besides raising the salary, KEK workers also require the food supply. KEK Union Chairman Nedzat Llumnica threatens strike if their demands are not realised.
The “are leading us to that path without our will. Our members pressure that there be no protest in this protest but that there be strike. We have, in a sense, suppressed their voice in order not to have electricity problems with Kosovo's citizen based on the emergency situation, but as if the board is pushing us towards that route necessarily and we are being suspected of having any desire for any other personal issues to go towards strike and halt production”, Nexhat Llumnica, chairman of the ECK trade union.
