Independent Private Sector Union Chairman Yusuf Azemi said these workers continue to receive a 275-euro salary, even though the Kosovo government has made the decision that the minimum wage in Kosovo will not remain below 350 euros.
According to Azem, food within the QKUK is sometimes dumped and not given to physical security workers, for which it required that the decision on their food be formalised.
Azem stressed that if workers' demands are not taken into account within two weeks, they would go on strike.
That they have no rights and that they are completely violated and that one of the physical security workers at QKUK, Jakup Mukulani, said. He said that it is challenging to succeed in that wages.
According to him, Health Minister Arben Vitita has told them that since these workers are paid by private companies, there is nothing to do in this regard.
In September of this year, the Kosovo government has made the decision that the minimum wage must be 350 euros.
For the same disappointments, Kosovo Assembly technical workers are holding strikes now three months. A few days ago, the latter were replaced by new workers without warning.
