The unions ask: Why do all the waves of the virus start in Jura?
The commissioner of the USS “Sloga” for Leskovac, Ivan Krstić, notes that the state has trained owners of small independent facilities and shops for centuries, controls and punishes irresponsible people for disrespecting working hours, while for years they they stop in front of foreign corporations and wait for permission or some justification to ignore the obvious. violations of the law.
“Who is responsible and why is total control lacking and the necessary measures are not taken to reduce risks, protect workers and ensure the implementation of all decisions in factories that employ thousands of people? Why Every wave of virus and increase in the number of infected begins in the circles of the factories of Jura? ” of the USS Sloga.
All this, they add from Sloga, is a gloomy picture of the “disease” that has reigned from the beginning in another factory in the south, in Jura, and its name is the negligence of the State and leaves the workers and their families at the mercy of the owner of capital.
That is why they are demanding that the Ministry of Labor, which is headed by crisis staff member Darija Kisić Tepavčević, actively participate in saving lives.
