DESERTED, EMPTY WORKSHOPS: WORKERS OUTSIDE ON STRIKE
‘’PEOPLE, IS THIS POSSIBLE?’’

Leskovac, April 11 2008
The young generations probably don’t remember the war film ‘’Battle on the Neretva’’, directed by our well-known movie director, Veljko Bulajic, which is practically impossible to find in CD Clubs nowadays. The admirers of a famous actor Jul Bruner at one time, who managed to blow up the bridge over the river Neretva and trick the enemy army in that war spectacle, could find their idol in Leskovac, i.e. in the former textile industry giant ‘’Leteks’’. Jul Bruner’s role was played by the director of the public company and later on of privatized company ‘’Leteks’’, Stanimir Petrovic, whose term of office has still not expired, and who, guided by the ideas of the company proprietor, Zorica Gajic, managed to tear down the former company.

‘’TANKOSIC’’ THINNER !

Kragujevac, April 7 2008
Unable to find the solutions for strikers’ demands through negotiations, in the presence of owner’s representatives and Director Svetlana Tankosic, an unknown person assaulted the representative of ‘’Nezavisnost’’ Union, Dragan Radosavljevic, and threw him out of the room in which the negotiations were in progress. The police intervened, Minutes were drawn up, and the person that assaulted Radosavljevic was identified as Sasa Tanaskovic, President of the Consortium Team. The ‘’Nezavisnost’’ Union shall take legal action upon obtaining the Police Minutes. The strikers’ demands, supported by over 90% of employees, have not been met, and there are no indications that actions will be taken to this end. This is an example of what a frivolous and irresponsible employer can do by privatizing a company with unclear intentions.

INSTEAD OF AGREEMENT – SUSPENSION

Topola, April 1 2008

It’s not new that wages were paid out to workers of ‘’Rudnik’’ Topola below minimum, which was not in conformity with the Law, overtime work was not paid, employee transportation was the issue that was often altered by the employer. To make things worse, the employer suspended the President of ‘’Nezavisnost’’ Union, Zoran Milutinovic, at the moment he wanted to protect employees by warning the employer that employees could not be forced to work overtime, beyond legal framework, and that their lives and health were adversely affected. More than 90 workers of ‘’Rudnik’’ Topola demanded that Zoran Milutinovic should be returned to work, but the employer did not meet this demand.

A traditional performance of Serbian folklore veterans ‘’Spomenar’’ took place in ‘’Sava Centar’’ in Belgrade on March 16 2008. The ensemble of veterans GKUD ‘’Smederevo’’ had its performance too, whose traditional sponsor is ‘’Nezavisnost’’ Union of USS. This ensemble from Smederevo is mostly composed of workers of U.S. Steel Serbia of Smederevo. A lack of ‘’lively dance’’ was replaced by great experience on the scene, mature creative emotions and open communication with audience. This cultural event, which promoted the tradition and national art, was an unrepeatable show for eyes, ears and spirit not only of audience but the participants on the scene as well.
