THE PROTEST FOR MINERS STATUS IN FRONT OF THE PRIME MINISTRY DT:06.06.2018

Today, on 06.06.2018, a protest of miners is held in front of the Prime Minister, led by and supported by the trade Union Federation of Industrial Workers of Albania (FSPISH) and the Confederation of Trade Unions (KSSH), have been raised after a crawl  that is being made for approval of the “Miners  Status” by the government. Former miners are rightly demanding a legitimacy right that had to be adopted years ago, not as it is currently happening, which is being extended and unstoppable. The draft law on this status was submitted to the government, and after a working group was set up, consisting of field specialists at the relevant Ministries, the President of KSSH, the Secretary General of FSPISH and the Interest Group (former miners) where this group was chaired and directed by Mr. Mehmet Hasanlamaj and everything was successfully developed, there is no further reason to delay its passage and adoption in the government.

This is not the first protest, but FSPISH declares that it will not be the last until the status of Miner will be  approved. This status is a right acquired by the blood and sweat of these miners, who have established this state for 50 years. Today they live in scandalous conditions, they have no money for medication, knowing that most of them suffer from serious professional illness. FSPISH and KSSH informs the Prime Minister of the Republic of Albania and all Albanian politicians that their cause is a vital cause and we will fight  together to win this right as vital as possible but legitimate.

FSPISH’s Secretary General Taf Koleci, in the meeting with former miners, which ran after the protest, guaranteed them, as always, unlimited support for this cause, as it has since its inception.

New protests are expected, seeing that the Government is not doing anything, and not only, but also various strikes, until the approval of “Miner Status”. We are convinced, more than ever, that we will achieve our only unity, solidarity and persevering with our goal.

TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER!      FSPISH
