In response to news of EPS workers anonymously reporting that they are under pressure to switch cable operators, if they use SBB services at home and switch to state telecommunications, EPS management gave advice to Your Workers – Employees are invited to submit anonymous reports. as whistleblowers, if they feel any pressure at work. However, for now, anonymous whistleblowers still dare to report only to the media, who believe they are not under the control of the government, instructed by a previous case of allegations of corruption at EPS.
Although H1 published the table it received from anonymous Elektroprivreda workers, EPS alleges that no survey and registration of employees was carried out, nor that it has information that it was carried out by the EPS workers union. EPS even asks employees to report if someone is harassing them.
“Every employee, in case they feel that their labor rights are in danger, has the right to report it anonymously through the harassment procedure,” EPS states in a statement.
However, an EPS worker who was recently fired and who tried to point out irregularities and corruption in that company, Natasa Prisic, says that in practice it does not work.
She was the internal control coordinator in that public company.
“As coordinator of Internal Control, I discovered more than 200 EPS workers who are on the payroll and do not come to work and receive high wages and salaries. When I discovered that, a persecution began against me, politically and against me. families, “Natasa Prisic said.
The former EPS coordinator says that her colleagues give her data on the latest EPS events and ask her what to do.
“EPS management came up with this ingenious idea that through one of the unions, and the union and VD Milorad Grčić are in contact, I have to say that now as a complainant and as an internal control worker at EPS, also they are lists for salaried workers who had to declare when their contract with SBB expired when they signed the contract, ”says Prisic.
Zoran Gavrilovic, a long-time associate at the Council for the Fight against Corruption, says that in the case of anonymous reports from EPS workers being exposed to pressure to change cable operators, this is a violation of several laws, not only the protection of whistleblowers.
“Here we have the fact that the union, that is, the one that must protect the rights of workers, actually engages in influence trading and there are indications that they violate the provisions of the Penal Code, article 366. On the other hand, it is very important how the people of the union know the workers really changed the operator if they do not have information from Telecom. So, we also have a violation of the Personal Data Protection Law “, emphasizes Gavrilović.
Article 366 of the Penal Code refers precisely to influence peddling – and says, among other things, that whoever uses their official or social position to mediate in the performance of an official act that should not be performed, will be punished with imprisonment from one person to another. eight years.
