“GLOBAL STEEL” COMPANY

A FRIVOLOUS AND ARROGANT EMPLOYER




Kraljevo, 30. April 2007
All attempts of the Strikers’ Committee and workers of “Magnohrom” Kraljevo that “Global Steel” observed the agreements reached, were unsuccessful. The irresponsibility and frivolousness of “Global Steel” are not new to us, but the arrogant conduct is getting worse and employees’ concern increasing.

The “Nezavisnost” Union of “Magnohrom” monitors the events in the company with great concern, trying to make its contribution to find the best possible realistic solutions. The Strikers’ Committee of workers of “Magnohrom” Kraljevo has showed an increasing weakness and the old “Magnohrom’s” trade unions have shown only now their incapability, lack of skill, disorganization and weakness with regard to trade union’s activities and actions.

The “Nezavisnost” Union of “Magnohrom” assumes responsibility for future events in a certain way, but in order to settle the situation in the best possible way, the “Nezavisnost” Union needs a support from all workers of “Magnohrom”. The “Nezavisnost” Union managed to gain confidence of and win over almost 400 union members in these difficult times for all in “Magnohrom”, meaning that we fulfilled the condition of being representative.

This shouldn’t be the end. This is, in fact, the beginning of “Nezavisnost” Union’s actions and activities in “Magnohrom”. It is important that the ideas of “Nezavisnost” Union are accepted by both the Strikers’ Committee and strikers. The “Nezavisnost” Union will still insist on working out a warning to “Global Steel” from the Privatization Agency, due to non-observance of the Purchase and Sales Contract, as well as that legal protection is secured for all members of “Nezavisnost” Union of “Magnohrom”. It has been proposed to the Strikers’ Committee by “Nezavisnost” Union to continue the negotiations with the representatives of “Global Steel” and director of “Magnohrom”. The employer used the possibility of the C.A. that it could, without restriction, issue the decisions on job assignments and thereby adversely affected the strikers’ activities. At the Strikers’ Committee it has been decided that it should act promptly and protect workers on strike and “Nezavisnost” Union will support all the activities of the Strikers’ Committee if they are in the interest of workers and the strike and if those activities are not contrary to the law and applicable C.A.

We expect, during next week, that the representatives of “Nezavisnost” Union will be received by the Privatization Agency and that we will, by the end of next week, come to “Magnohrom” together with our legal experts and lawyers. This will be a confirmation that we keep our promises and fulfill our obligations, and that we know that we will represent the interests of our members and workers of “Magnohrom” in an adequate and legal way.
