GETTING FAMILIAR WITH ’’CUPRUM’’




Belgrade, April 4, 2007
The delegation of MWBU ’’Nezavisnost’’, composed of Negoslav Jovanovic, Vice-President, Rudolf Navijalic, President, Dragan Jankucic, Vice-President, and Mladen Ursulovic, member of the Joint Committee of ’’Nezavisnost’’ Trade Union of ’’RTB’’ Bor, visited ’’Elkon Kuprum’’ Trade Union, Zalau, on March 27, 2007. The visit was organized on the basis of the Protocol on inter-union cooperation between the Metal Workers’ Branch Union ’’Nezavisnost’’, Serbia, and FNS Solidaritatea Metal, Rumania, a member of which is ’’Elkon Kuprum’’ Trade Union. Both Trade Unions are members of the EMF and the IMF.

The goal of the visit is that the representatives of ’’Nezavisnost’’ Trade Union are informed in more detail about the operations of ’’Cuprum’’, observance of the C.A., job safety, earnings policy, and that they exchange experience in direct contact with the colleagues of ’’Elkon Kuprum’’ Trade Union. The hosts, Blaj Joan, President, and Aleksandru Pene, Vice-President of ’’Elkon Kuprum’’ Trade Union, informed the colleagues from Serbia about the situation in the company from the standpoint of observance of the C.A. and job safety, and daily actions taken by the trade union in order to improve and upgrade employees’ standard to a higher level.

The representatives of both trade unions were received by the General Director of ’’Cuprum’’ CA, Vasile Markus, and the Technical Director, Romulus Opreanu, who presented three sections of ’’Cuprum’’, as follows: Company’s Head Office in Bucharest and factories in Baja Mare, dealing with copper melting and processing, and Wire Factory ’’Elkon’’, in Zalau, but with ’’Cuprum’s’’ plans for the future.

Within the program of visit, the delegation of ’’Nezavisnost’’ Trade Union visited ’’Cuprum’s’’ production plants. The colleagues of the Joint Committee of ’’Nezavisnost’’ Trade Union of ’’RTB’’ Bor presented ’’RTB’’ Bor to the management and trade union, and set forth employees’ expectations of the privatization process finalization. This visit was very important for ’’Nezavisnost’’ Trade Union, because of a short term for concluding the C.A. (two months) provided for by the Social Program and Purchase & Sales Contract for ’’RTB’’ Bor.

From the conversation with the colleagues of ’’Cuprum’’ we learned about the policy oriented towards employees of ’’Cuprum’’, which was the overriding objective of the visit. Besides, ’’Nezavisnost’’ Trade Union could convince itself, at the spot, of real image of ’’Cuprum’’. At the end of a 3-day visit to the Trade Union of ’’Elkon Kuprum’’ Zalau, a continuation of the cooperation with ’’Nezavisnost’’ Trade Union of ’’RTB’’ Bor has been agreed, through mutual communication, assistance and visits.
