This morning, at the Government session, a conclusion was adopted on the payment of 20.000 dinars in aid to all employees of the Post of Serbia, with the exception of management.
This was agreed in the agreement that the unions of postal workers signed with Prime Minister Ana Brnabić last week.
"The people who started the strike are categorically against it and are asking for a salary increase. The day before yesterday, they sent a letter to Prime Minister Brnabić with their demands, but they did not receive a response, so the suspension of work is still ongoing", says the president of the "Sloga" trade union Željko Veselinović for the "Vremena" portal.
The interlocutor of the "Vremena" portal says that another group of trade unions appeared there and did not sign the agreement with Prime Minister Ana Brnabić. They are asking for another five thousand to be added to them and to receive 25.000 dinars in aid. But the people who are on strike, who are, so to speak, an informal group, do not agree to that either.
As B92 unofficially learns, this aid will be paid to all those who have returned to work and have assumed their work duties to date. The payment of twenty thousand dinars, according to the agreement, will be paid by Saturday, November 25.
They threaten the BIA
Za portal Nova.rs one of the strikers, Stefan Mitrović, said: "The post office gave an ultimatum - either we will stop the strike until 22 pm, or they will hire, as Prime Minister Ana Brnabić said, 'institutions dealing with state security.' We do not know, nor do we care, what the state security and the workers' strike have to do with each other. 200 of us, as many as we were at the protest in Zemun, unanimously decided not to give up, and neither did our colleagues from Novi Sad and Zrenjanin.
