The miners of Trepca went on strike on Wednesday. The head of the workers' union, Ibrahim Januzi, announced that the strike started due to non-payment of salaries for the month of June.
"The reason why we have decided to go on strike is the non-payment of salaries for the month of June. In addition, we asked for the improvement of the working conditions, such as the ventilation of the mine as well as the repayment of the debts of the workers in the Trust", Januzi told KOKHE.
He emphasized that they had a meeting with the management of the company and that their justification for not executing the salaries was the lack of funds.
"There has been a failure in the management of the enterprise and the workers are determined to remain on strike until the demands are met," Januzi said.
According to him, the management has promised them that they will try to find a solution within the day, on Wednesday.
Januzi said that if this does not happen, they will continue with the strike.
KOHA tried to get a statement from the chief executive officer of "Trepça" Enis Abdurrahmani, but he did not answer the phone.
