Workers who left the entreprises taking a social program ‘two years to pension’ and ‘five years to pension’ will no longer pay penalty points for their acquired pension, but in the future the pension will be paid in full amount.
This was agreed at the meeting with the Minister of Labour, Veteran and Social Affairs, Darija Kisić Tepavčević, President and Seceretary of the Confederation of Autonomous Trade Unions of Serbia, Ljubisav Orbović and Zoran Mihajlović.
We are talking about 6,300 workers who left the entreprises throughout the period 2010 – 2014 due to being redundant and their pensions were unfairly reduced. These are former workers of Zastava factories in Kragujevac, „14. October“ in Kruševac, „Goša“ in Smederevska Palanka, „Sloboda“ in Čačak and others.
New Labour Minister showed understanding and willingness to solve this problem, to which our trade union has been constantly pointing out for the past five years.
