“Trade Unions through Challenges of the Past and Future” is the title of the book which was promoted last week in Belgrade. The authors of this book are Jelena Ranković, a journalist and Jugoslav Ristić, President of the Confederation of Autonomous Trade Unions of the City of Kragujevac.
The idea to publish this book originated from Zastava Arms, the oldest metal complex factory on the Balkans and its publication was financially supported by the Olof Palme International Center. The book is a metaphorical story about a society whose development has been marked by frequent crises. There is also interesting note on the spirit of the time, as well as trade union role throughout past decades. The book was written in the form of authentic testimonies of experienced trade unionists, people who talked about their enormous efforts to maintain at least partially the status that workers used to have in the previous social system.
