YOUNG WORKERS AND TRADE UNION




Belgrade, December 7, 2007
A Seminar for young people of metal workers’ unions was held in Ohrid between November 14 and 15, 2007, with the support of IG Metall and Friedrich Ebert Foundation. The metal workers unions were from the following countries: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Republic of Srpska, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo and Macedonia. The following young people of the Youth Section of MWBU ‘’Nezavisnost’’ took part in the Seminar: Tanja Ristic, ‘’Metaloprerada’’, Uzice, Marinko Bedic, ATB Sever, Subotica, and Jasmina Petrovic, MWBU ‘’Nezavisnost’’.

Mr. Felix Bader of IG Metall, Germany, spoke about the subject of ‘’Young workers and trade unions – How it works in Germany.’’ Sabrina Stender, representative of students – apprentices of ‘’Weber Hydraulik’’ presented unionist activities of young people in her company, and Ivan Curkovic, IG Metall, spoke about political activities of young people (factory, trade union, party and structures), as well as about young workers’ activities.

During the Seminar the participants presented the activities of Youth Sections within their unions and stated that MWBU ‘’Nezavisnost’’, Serbia and ‘’SKEI’’, Slovenia were the only unions dealing with young workers issues in an organized manner. There was group work after this on the following topics: public relations, how to present one’s targets, how to win over new members and how we view mutual cooperation. The participants were handed in a booklet on European Union and European Social Dialogue, being the result of agreement from the previous gathering that took place last year in Belgrade.
