New Protest over 30% Salary Supplement Issue Held

On Wednesday, employees of the seven, as well as the State Archives and State Statistics Office, continued the protests demanding new collective agreements to will enable them to get the right to a 30% salary supplement.

Outside the Culture and Tourism Ministry, that institution’s employees said the Government and PM Hristijan Mickoski shouldn’t allow unequal treatment of theirs when compared to colleagues at the institution that had received the supplement.

The Trade Union of Workers in Administration, Judicial Bodies, and Associations of Citizens called for a start of negotiations with the Government aiming at a mutually acceptable solution. The Government said that “if the Union genuinely cares about worker salaries, we invite it to a conversation” in order for solutions to be found.
