The low salary and contrary to the minimum salary, the non-officialization of the staff within working hours and payment for examinations, are among the reasons for which the physical security workers of the University Clinical Center of Kosovo protested today in front of the administration directorate at KKUK. 

The Chairman of the Independent Union of the Private Sector, Jusuf Azemi, said that these workers continue to receive a salary of 275 euros, even though the Government of Kosovo has decided that the minimum wage in Kosovo should not remain below 350 euros.

According to Azemi, the food inside the KKUK is sometimes thrown away and not given to physical security workers, for which he requested that the decision about their food be formalized.

Azemi emphasized that if the demands of the workers are not taken into account within two weeks, they will go on strike.

That they do not have any rights and that they are totally violated, said one of the physical security workers at KKUK, Jakup Mukulani. He said that it is challenging to manage this salary.

According to him, the Minister of Health Arben Vitia told them that since these workers are paid by private companies, there is nothing to do in this regard.

In September of this year, the Government of Kosovo made a decision that the minimum wage should be 350 euros.

For the same grievances, the technical workers of the Assembly of Kosovo are on strike for three months now. A few days ago, the latter were replaced by new workers, without warning.
