Public and private sector workers with clear demands protested today at the Government door.
Unlike workers, Deputy Prime Minister Albin Kurti has chosen to celebrate this day.
And their calls, former Labour and Social Management Minister Skender Recica says the Government should take them seriously.
He in a proposal for Periscope has said that the Government, despite its promises, workers are continuing to face poor conditions.
Despite the government's promise of a dignified treatment of workers and increased security and health in workplaces, many workers in Kosovo continue to face difficult and dangerous working conditions. Cases of worker rights violations and the lack of effective monitoring mechanisms and punishment are frequent, showing a deep gap between legislation and its implementation in practice”, he said of Periscope.
That there is a lack of the Kurt Government's will for the needs of private sector workers, former Minister Recica says.
He in a proposal for Periscope has said that Kurti Government's approach to workers' demands endangers the country's economy.
For workers in the private sector, insufficient government attention to their needs points to a clear neglect to address the challenges facing a major part of the country's workforce. This lack of concrete and sustainable actions to improve working conditions endangers not only the well-being of workers but also endangers the country's economic stability. At a time when workers must be fully supported to ensure a sustained recovery and growth, this approach of the government shows a serious disregard for their contribution and well-being”, he says of Periscope.
He has appealed from the Government to meet their demands, otherwise he has warned other union actions.
We've made a lot of commitments and we've had the willingness to have legitimate membership requirements and pensioners co-operate with the government and engage jointly in their realisation, but the government continues to run away from dialogue and money by respecting the membership voice we're here at this 1987x1> protest, Jashar said.
E Yusuf Azem of the Private Sector Workers Union has said this union addresses their demands every day, but there is still no solution.
He criticised Prime Minister Albin Kurti for promising many solutions to the workers before coming to power.
And the Chairman PDK, Memli Krasniqi on International Workers' Day, has said that for workers, the government requires respect and dignity.
International Workers' Day, marked every May 1st, finds workers in Kosovo with an average salary of 520 euros, and with the minimum bringing in between 130 and 170 euros. /Periscope
