THE IMF PROJECT PERTAINING TO TRAINING OF UNIONIST EXPERTS IN THE AREA OF JOB SAFETY INITIATED IN BELGRADE FOR IMF MEMBERS FROM COUNTRIES OF EX YUGOSLAVIA

JOB SAFETY IN IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY AND NON-FERROUS METAL INDUSTRY




Belgrade, May 14 2008
Belgrade was the host city for 40 guests – active trade union members and employee representatives in the Job Safety Commission in the period from April 20 – 30 2008. The IMF Secretary General, Marcello Malentacchi conceived and conducted this Seminar referring to planning future activities. The planned project means complete training of unionist experts through short-term, medium-term and long-term objectives.

The reason for colleague Marcello’s presence is just in the importance of the topic we are going to deal with in the Region, as well as the fact that working conditions in iron and steel industry and non-ferrous metal industry (regardless of new technologies) are very difficult. For this reason the IMF devoted special attention to the action for preserving employee health at its 31st Congress.

The present project shall be implemented in the next two years, namely, till the end of 2008, in 2009 and 2010. This means that comprehensive training of trade union members has been planned in this area, which unionists will be experts in their companies and for trade union needs on national level after the training is completed.

The IMF Project will be implemented with the support of Spanish Metal Workers Trade Union MCA UGT and their Foundation IS COD. Spanish colleagues were represented by Javier Urbina, International Secretary of MCA-UGT, Fernando Fernandez Arroyo, MCA-UGT expert in the area of job safety and others. Colleagues from Spain and those of the IMF presented certain steps to be pursued during the project duration, as well as the possibility of including other unionist organizations and their experts in this area.

The MWBU ‘’Nezavisnost’’ contributed to this Seminar by giving 20 books titled ‘’Safety and Health in Iron and Steel Industry’’ to all those present.

Besides MWBU ‘’Nezavisnost’’ and ‘’CATUS’’ the Seminar of Planning was attended by colleagues from Croatia, Federation of Bosnia & Herzegovina, Republic of Srpska, Montenegro, Slovenia, Macedonia. The initial steps and date of the first seminar were agreed, which will be held in Sarajevo from September 20 - 25 2008.
