May 1 Workout
Today is worker day. Those who built everything around us and who continue to develop us every day.
May 1 was born in 1886 in Chicago, when workers marched on something that seems self - conscious today, but since then costing life: eight hours of work, eight hours off, eight hours of life for herself. They faced violence. Some of them died for rights that we now consider basic. Every weekend, every security rule, any job protection in the democratic world has been won because someone refused less than he wanted and deserved. May 1 is the annual reminder of this story. It is a reminder that rights are not donated from above, built from below, and constantly protected.
Kosovo citizens have an important understanding of the work value even beyond the economy. Even when they broke off their wages or were expelled from formal spaces, work continued at home, neighborhoods, and communities. Under those occupations, it became a center and activism. Today, the worker is the first pillar of our statehood.
May 1 is not just a marked and historical date, May Day is also the measure of our present state.
According to international union reports, workers' rights have been hit significantly worldwide during 2025. In many countries, including developed ones, workers ' rights are at risk. Short-term employment is on the rise, including through digital platforms, which reduce daily tasks with uncertain salaries and disciplinary measures that are imposed without transparency and real protection for workers. In the meantime, automation is eliminating whole categories of work without always providing requalification opportunities or support for those affected. At the same time, inequality has increased.
This is the global reality where neither Kosovo can make exception. In this context, our workers live and work, and in this light our decisions in government must be understood.
When we took office, the minimum wage in Kosovo was 170 euros. He had not changed for thirteen years. For a whole generation entering the job market, that was the legal minimum for their work. We changed this. We passed the Law on Minimal Page and raised it to 425 euros, directly affecting about 150,000 workers, mostly in the private sector. From July 1st it increases to 500 euros (Despite what happened to the Assembly).
We set the 13th salary for public sector workers. For the first time after Kosovo's declaration of independence, the state concretely recognised its employees' continued contribution. We made and continue to call on the private sector to follow this example, because fair compensation and increased care for workers should not be a privilege only of the public sector.
We started and expanded the Superwork program, which subsidizes salaries in the private sector for six months and creates a structured route for young people towards the formal job market. We employed over 23,000 young men and women between the ages of 18 and 29 with whom some 10,500 businesses have benefited.
For workers' rights in the Republic of Kosovo, the main lack is that of union organisation in the private sector. This is where our entire society has to engage for a new level of status and the status of our employees.
For the first time we in government began sharing additions for children and additions to lehonne mothers. Pensions increased from 90 euros to 150 euros. Through the “programme, the government for Families”, subvention 70% of wages for six months for families with no employees, thus including about 4,000 families. We have also supported the employment of over 12,000 women through direct state policies and subsidies. Next present program “The superwork for the Gra” that will help even more to boost women's employment. During just three and a half years of our government, the number of employees has increased significantly. We have found Kosovo with about 350,000 employees, while today there are about 435,000 an increase of about 85,000 jobs.
We passed the health insurance bill. For the first time in Kosovo, this law creates a universal framework that covers both employees and unemployed, through individual and state contributions. The right to health cannot depend on employment status.
We proposed a 200m-euro package for dealing with inflation, offering targeted support to the private sector, students, children and families facing increased cost of living. This package was blocked in the Parliament by an opposition who chose not to vote. The same opposition that boycotted the president's election by sending the country to the polls. Votes are registered. Citizens will draw their conclusions.
Social democracy is not just something that is proclaimed. It is a continuing political commitment to establish security, prosperity, and the future of workers both citizens and citizens as workers at the centre of any budgeting, any legislation and any institutional measure. That's what we've done and that's what we'll always do.
For Kosovo workers on this May 1st: this government has been on your side not only in words, but with adopted laws, adopted budgets and concrete decisions.
The standard has to keep growing. Work on building a country that treats workers as the foundation of everything follows.
Happy May Day!
