Life in Kosovo debates the right of the employees and syndicates

Posted on

This Thursday the "Life in Kosovo" TV
program discussed whether there are any real syndicates in Kosovo that protect
the rights of workers, or are they all services of politics and favors.

How does
one move from being a protector of workers’ interests to being a protector of
the government’s interests? Why aren’t the laws that directly affect Kosovar
workers being endorsed?

To discuss these issues and more, joining Jeta Xharra in
the studio were:

Gjergj
Dedaj, vice-minister of Work and Social well-being;

Haxhi
Arifi – President of the Kosovo Union of Independent Syndicates
(KUIS);
Bahri
Shabani – Former President of KUIS, now President of the Kosovo
Conferedartion
of Free Syndicates, and

Ibrahim
Rexhepi – Editor-in-chief of the daily “Lajm”

Life in Kosovo is a co-production between Kosovo Public
Television, RTK,
and the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network, BIRN. The show
is broadcast
every Thursday, starting from 20:15
