The former technical workers of the Assembly, who were fired from the "Schafberger" company, will go to court on Friday, if this company does not return them to work by then. They will do this, as the Labor Inspectorate has established that in their case the laws have been violated. They were fired after going on strike demanding higher wages
The former technical workers in the Assembly expressed the expectation that after the report issued by the Inspectorate, the "Schafberger" company, whose contract was renewed by the Assembly for the cleaning of the building, will return them to work.
Nazife Krasniqi, a worker in the Assembly for over 20 years, says that it is difficult for her to leave her job after all the contribution she made, except because she demanded better conditions and pay with a strike.
"We made it like a second home, we went, we worked, despite the difficulties we worked. We have been working for 20 years. It is very difficult now to get out of there and I am left without a job. It is very difficult to get out of there", she said.
On November 27, the Labor Inspectorate issued an official report, through which it concluded that the "Schafberger" company committed several violations by dismissing 15 technical workers.
According to the Inspectorate, the company violated the Labor Law, the Law on Strikes and the Law on the Minimum Wage.
Thus, it was requested to eliminate these violations within three days after receiving the report. Otherwise measures have been announced against it.
For two days, the company has not answered KOHA's questions regarding the report.
And, the Inspectorate said that they still haven't received confirmation from the post office that the company has accepted the report.
Meanwhile, the Union of Private Sector Workers warned that if the company does not return the workers to work by Friday, they will go to court.
"The only official institution in Kosovo that divides justice between the employer and the employee is the Labor Inspectorate, which we must obey as a trade union and as economic operators... If the company does not call these workers back tomorrow in the Assembly, where they were, we normally take the case to the court", stated Jusuf Azemi, head of the private sector.
Based on the secondary legislation, the Inspectorate can impose a fine of up to 10 euros on the company for violations related to discrimination and the right to strike.
