“They come with pajamas and miniskirt”: Conflict Between Trade Union and RTK Board Chairman

RTK's Independent Union reacts strongly against the scandalous statement by Board Chairman Besnik Boletini for RTK workers. At the Board meeting, held September 6, 2023, in the presence of the union observer as well as the BIRN journalist, Chairman Besnik Boletini has declared:

RTK's Independent Union has reacted to a statement by the board's chairman, Besnik Boletini, who said it receives information that “workers come with pajamas, ʹminiqaı, make check out and that's unacceptable”.

According to this union, this statement by Bislimi is insulting to about 800 employees in RTK, while calling for the same one to release the post of chairman of the RTK Board.

“On the contrary, we as Unions will take radical legal action, including protests and strike. At the top of public institutions, people who insult and denigrate their subordinates have no place. In the public media, there is no place for people who portray their subordinates as fraud and incompatible”, it says in response.

While Boletin has commented on the union's reactions, saying what is being quoted by the union is, not its conclusion, but the presentation of a perception.

So I talked about a perception that was created that some employees only do introductions, not how they dressed when they came to work. This issue is regulated by internal regulations. In any other direction of my statements is a deliberate manipulation”, said Boletin, broadcast Clankosova.tv.

Furthermore, he said that at Wednesday's meeting, the RTK Board has made a decision regarding the reporting of working activities by employees, which he said “I am aware may not be well received by all”.

Besides, it helps when the end assessment of the year is made by the leaders, each employee will be fully regarded and based. In this way even eventual dissatisfactions are averted that not everyone is working proportionally. This perception is present at RTK”, he said.
