SSM fights for the respect of human rights and freedoms. Since the workers are always the weaker chain in the eternal conflict between labor and capital, the working power consists only in a strong trade union organization, in a strong international trade union movement and in a strong number of the membership. SSM believes that a constant struggle against the violations of the fundamental workers' rights and the basic human dignity must be a priority.
SSM stands for rule of law, democracy and a free market.
The methods for achieving these objectives are: strengthening of social dialogue and social partnership, participation in decision-making institutions, collective bargaining, workers’ protection, international cooperation, education, membership and objective information to the public. Preferred way to achieve the objectives are negotiations and agreements with the social partners.
If negotiations fail to work than, industrial actions, including strikes have to be organized.
SSM fights for all workers to be duly registered in order to receive regular and decent salary. To achieve this aim the first step towards establishing employment should be the signing of the employment contract.

Labor Law - Labor Law
PAYMENT OF WORK:
-The right of the worker to earnings

-It is determined that wages are always paid in cash form.
-The law gives the structure of salary form:
- basic salary

- allowances
-A possibility given by the employer to the employee to pay the 13th salary if the employer is able to pay.
PAYMENT OF SALARIES

The basic salary of the employee increases when an employee works in more difficult conditions than normal for a job:
A collective agreement is laying down the more severe working conditions than normal for certain jobs and the amount of increase on that basis does not depend on the salary of the employee, but is determined in a single amount for all employees who work in those difficult conditions.
When an employee works in conditions arising from the schedule of working hours, the base salary of the employee increases by hour at least for:
Overtime: 35%
Night work: 35%
work in three shifts: 5%
work during weekends: 50%
Vacation - a cessation of physical and intellectual activities, job activities and functions of the employee during working hours.
Each employee is entitled to a paid daily, weekly and annual leave.

A paid annual leave is a paid leave, for up to 7 working days due to justified personal family circumstances:
SSM requires all workers to be properly registered and to pay all their contributions.
When calculating the salary it should be known that the person obliged for the payment of the salary contributions is the employee and those contributions are being calculated and paid by the employer on behalf of the employee in the calculation of the wages as a percentage of the gross salary.
