CONTINUATION OF THE CAMPAIGN CALLED “YOU ARE RIGHT”, ORGANIZED BY WOMEN’S SECTION AND YOUTH SECTION OF UBU “NEZAVISNOST” IN NIS

SAFE JOB – GOOD JOB




Nis, May 9, 2007
In continuation of the campaign called “YOU ARE RIGHT”, the Women’s Section and Youth Section of UBU “Nezavisnost” organized an action in the centre of Nis on the occasion of April 28, International Job Safety and Industrial Hygiene Day. The action was called “You are right!” “Safe job – Good job!”.

This very successful action was organized by active members of the regional commissary office of UBU “Nezavisnost” in Nis. The active members of Nis region, from a majority of branch unions, accepted the invitation and thereby contributed to this action in an adequate way. Thanks to team work and coordination by UBU “Nezavisnost” from Belgrade, the action was noticeable and the stand was visited by numerous citizens of Nis. Once again, a need was expressed for diverse and up-to-date union actions. Also, such direct approach to citizens and employees is very important for perceiving their problems and dilemmas in the labor market. The interest in numerous promotional materials also required the organizing of such positive unionist actions in addition to already experienced protests on the streets.

The subject of job safety and industrial hygiene and a large number of questionnaires, i.e. over 500, filled out by citizens this time too (mostly young people and women), pointed to the existence of problems in this sphere of activity and the need for serious dealing with these issues. Besides printed materials on the topic of job safety and IH, one could hear some citations from the Labor Law and Job Safety & IH Law relating to this subject and especially referring to rights and obligations of young people and women on the job.

Besides the brochures on job safety and IH, the following material was also distributed: material on discrimination at work, promotional material of Women’s and Youth Section of UBU “Nezavisnost”. Citizens were also interested in the Admission Forms of UBU “Nezavisnost”, Bulletin of “Nezavisnost” Branch Union of Education and newspaper “Metalpres” of MWBU “Nezavisnost”.

The MWBU “Nezavisnost” prepared the so-called “billboard sandwiches” for this occasion, with posters from the safety area, and our tireless active members carried them through a crowd of surprised citizens of Nis. The “Nezavisnost” Branch Union of Public Health Service and Social Security prepared a booklet on job safety and industrial hygiene and a text on mobbing as an up-to-date topic of employees in Serbia. The action was joined by the labor inspector, Dragan Simonovic, in charge of job safety and industrial hygiene for the District of Nis. He answered the questions asked by citizens on the subject of job safety and industrial hygiene. The active members of UBU “Nezavisnost” wore orange caps with the inscription: “You are right!”, and a large number of ball pens with the same inscription was distributed to citizens.

-‘’The poll results in Nis will be presented to the public soon, and will also be a ‘’road sign’’ to ‘’Nezavisnost’’ Union in this important sphere of our activity. The action was followed by the press, radio and TV stations in Nis. The campaign called ‘’You are right’’ was organized with the support of the SLA, FES, UBU ‘’Nezavisnost’’ and a majority of its Branch Unions’’, said Gordana Aleksic, Vice-President of UBU ‘’Nezavisnost’’.
