"Post Serbia" workers have once again rejected the offer of the Ministry of Telecommunications for a 10 percent salary increase, as "Vremena" portal has learned. At the end of last week, the ministry promised the workers that they would present a "better offer" to them today, but that did not happen.

The suspension of work in post offices throughout Serbia is entering its third week. The workers say there is no progress in the negotiations and that the Government of Serbia, the competent ministry and the management of the company do not agree to the fulfillment of the request.

Around 500 postal workers gathered at the Main Post Office in Novi Sad to support their colleagues who were negotiating with the Ministry of Telecommunications. They were offered again an increase of 10 percent for the November salary and the same amount for the January salary. The negotiations lasted a short time, because at the very beginning of the meeting, the workers rejected this offer again.

Although the workers were promised after the previous meeting that the workers who are on strike will not suffer the consequences, at today's meeting there were allusions to layoffs, the "Vremena" portal was told.

Over 100 post offices in Serbia are on strike

More than 100 post offices in Serbia continue to suspend work, while others are working partially. In addition, a large number of organizational units throughout Serbia are also on strike. 

Due to the strike, which has been going on for weeks now, the delivery of letters, invoices and parcels has almost completely stopped.

 The postman's demands are still the same: the immediate hiring of the optimal number of executors because there is a lack of workers, an immediate salary increase of at least 30 percent, payment of earnings from the profit for the year before last by the end of October, an end to "silent" discrimination against working employees and favoritism of individuals and official guarantees from the Government of Serbia that the demands will be fulfilled.

In the beginning was virtue.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
