Women strikers accept meetings with the Bali commission: We'll invite the company owner to report

The striking women, technical workers in the Kosovo Assembly, have refused to attend the meeting at the Commission for Human Rights, Gender Equality, Online Economics reports.

Private Sector Workers Union Chairman Yusuf Azemi said they would not attend the Commission's meeting. Initially, he said they are awaiting the report from the Labour Inspectorate, if the strike has been okay.

 

We have followed 275 euros in demand 400 or 550 euros, and the Kosovo Assembly has done nothing. Take it for you, we believe in the law and we still believe but we don't need anyone but the report of the Labour Inspectorate that we've been all right with the law and you're the ones that got us out of the Parliament hall and you're the ones that broke the Greece Law”, Azemi said.

He said they are fundamentally opposed to dialogue with MPs unless their demands are taken into account.

 

But the chairman of this commission, Duda Balje, said they would invite the company's representative, the Ombudsman and the Secretary of the Parliament to the meeting.

We have to call the ombudsman at the meeting. It must be agreed if it's a violation of rights and then we continue. So is the procedure and the work of the Commission. I can take responsibility only as a Commission and if you're refusing this meeting, then we're going to be at”.

 

We, as a commission, thought we should first talk to women, get all the information about them, and then invite the secretary (of the Parliament) and the owner of the firm and continue. We as deputies have no responsibilities, we have seen that they are outside, and we thought that the secretary and the responsible person thought they would find solutions”, Balje said.
