THE UNION IN VODOVOD DECIDED TO EXERCISE THE RIGHT TO STRIKE

At yesterday's session of the Trade Union Organization of SUTKOZ at JP Vodovod and Sewerage Skopje - SSM, a decision was unanimously made to use the right to strike, which will lead to the calling and initiation of a strike at JP Vodovod and Sewerage Skopje, in accordance with the Laws.

At yesterday's meeting, the trade unionists reported on the great pressures exerted on the employees and members of the trade union organization's bodies, which the management headed by the acting director Mitovski, and as the last piece of information that the employees are worried about is that the acting director Mitovski is preparing new disciplinary procedures against more than 40 workers who are members of the union, including the president of the union in JP Vodovod and Sewerage, Kashikovski.

Due to the fact that acting director Mitovski, despite the fact that in the past period it was established that he knowingly violated the provisions of the Law and the provisions of the collective agreement, continues with his inhumane treatment and sanctifies himself to the trade unionists and workers in the enterprise JP Vodovod and Sewerage Skopje and sends messages with threatening content, the union unanimously decided to use the right to strike, and on Wednesday it will be confirmed to the highest authority of the SUTKOZ Union, after which the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy will be immediately notified so that a conciliator can be immediately appointed and observe the legal obligations on the part of the organizer of the strike, and the acting director, the Management Board of JP Vodovod and Sewerage Skopje, the Mayor Arsovska and councilor groups in the city of Skopje will be notified in accordance with the Laws.

A written warning will also be delivered to the acting director of the reasons for the intention to announce a strike in JP Vodovod and Sewerage Skopje in accordance with the law.

After the end of the legal term, the employees of JP Vodovod and Sewerage Skopje go on strike, which will take place at their workplaces during working hours by not performing their work duties as well as by expressing other forms of worker dissatisfaction.

In the course of tomorrow, SUTKOZ at the SSM will hold a press conference in front of the headquarters of the City of Skopje, where a report from a neuropsychiatrist specialist will be presented on the seriously impaired mental health of the person acting director of the Skopje Water and Sewerage Company, who in under no circumstances may he manage a public institution.

If Mayor Arsovska ignores this, she will be publicly called and asked whether she will be held accountable if something happens to an employee, as well as whether she will be held accountable if the functioning process of JP Vodovod and Sewerage Skopje as an enterprise of vital importance is disrupted, especially if it is taken into account that this person, as Acting Director, has access to the keys to the source in Rasce, from which the City of Skopje is supplied with drinking water.

If mayor Arsovska does not react to all the evidence of Mitovski's illegal activities, the verdicts for serious crimes with prison sentences, the report from a specialist - neuropsychiatrist about the seriously impaired mental health of the person acting director of JP Vodovod and Sewerage Skopje, we as workers we will ask for an urgent session of the Council of the City of Skopje on Wednesday as well as help from all the competent institutions in the State with one goal to ensure protection and healthy and safe working conditions for the workers which at this moment no one in the company can guarantee, but also normal and smooth functioning of the company.

The workers are determined to exercise their legal right to strike, and Mayor Arsovska will not avoid a meeting with the union and respond to why this acting director with this evidence and deeds must not be a public official, and we point out to the competent institutions as well as the Council of the City of Skopje to immediately take measures against the acting director Mitovski with the sole purpose of protecting the workers in the company and the interest of the citizens who use the services.
