Collective agreement for NIS public company signed
Belgrade,
19 September 2005
Representatives of the Serbian Ministry of Energy and Mining, two trade unions of the Serbian Oil Industry NIS and the company's management signed today a collective agreement regarding the company.
Minister of Energy and Mining Radomir Naumov said after the signing of the agreement that this act is the crowning of four years of work on all three sides.
According to the Minister, in a year and a half the Serbian government rounded off the processes of legal, institutional and overall reform of the energy sector, and that it is logical for the signing of the collective agreement to come after that rigorous work.
Representatives of the two trade unions pointed out that the collective agreement has been signed after four years of painstaking negotiations, whose difficulties were compounded by numerous problems and changes in the negotiators in the government and in NIS’s management.
President of the Workers' Trade Union of NIS Veljko Milosevic said that this collective agreement covers all areas that are important for workers and stressed that they will be the ones who will judge its quality.
He said that it was very important that the agreement be signed before October 1, when the process of NIS's reorganisation begins.
President of the NIS Naftagas Unique Trade Union Organisation Dusan Uzelac said that this collective agreement is very good because it protects all the rights of workers.
He said that the employees will not be satisfied with the wages, but since NIS is a public company, the law restricts the wage amounts that can be proposed in negotiations.
