The protest of employees in Bosnia and Herzegovina institutions started in Sarajevo, and the reason for that move is that they are dissatisfied with the salary coefficient.
They demand the signing of a collective agreement, and that this protest in front of joint institutions, as they say, is the only way for the employer to understand their situation.
When asked what if there is no salary and the budget is not adopted, the protesting employees say that they do not know what they will do. They say that they are the only employees in the civil service who do not have a collective agreement.
Sanja Skocit, a representative of the MAC Trade Union, says that this is the only way for employees in BiH institutions to say what their problem is.
Amer Zoranic, from the trade union organization of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of BiH, says that they are fighting for the principle of the same salary for everyone.
“They have a salary 20 times higher, and we are experts and we do our job,” says Zoranic and claims that the work process will be endangered if there is no salary.
Ranka Borisic, employed in joint institutions, said that one cannot live from what they get and that what politicians are doing is very bad.
Salih Karcic, president of the Independent Trade Union of Civil Servants, says this is the second protest.
“We want to show what situation we are in. The main problem we are protesting against is the problem of not signing the collective agreement “, says Karcic and adds that only a hundred of them are protesting against epidemiological measures.
