Working poverty is a shame, said Stedula. Svolv to Prague demonstration
Stedula thus pointed out the inequalities in Europe. even the electricity bill is tyikrt vc not vcae, he criticized. From the point of view of income, there is a big difference between Eastern and Western Europe, both of which are part of the Iron Curtain, he said.
Unions, call your event a protest manifesto. In previous years, they were preparing for a negotiated salary increase. They had the slogan End of cheap work.
Among others, Frantiek Gajdo, mayor of the Confederation of Trade Unions in Slovakia (KOZ SK) and economist Ilona vihlkov spoke at the rally. According to the individual representatives of the union.
The Esko-Moravian Confederation of Trade Unions (MKOS) stated that this year the unions want to express their position on the current economic situation and send a message to politicians so that the effects on employees and entrepreneurs do not go unnoticed. Trade unions point to high inflation and a drop in real income. Criticize Vlda and her actions.
Unions drop the minimum wage by two thousand
The Confederation proposes against the expensive dream of VAT on selected goods, price ceilings, tax increases and the introduction of support for companies as during the epidemic. Stedula changed you then Kurzarbeit Antivirus program with salary slips from Stut.
We will proceed individually. If there are profits, we will go to that collective bargaining point, said Stedula, who collected signatures for his presidential candidacy these days. In the past, the Center recommended the percentage increase in the length of time that trade union negotiators in companies should strive for. For the fifth year, she did not announce a specific request.
The minimum wage was raised for the last time in January this year by 1,000 crowns to 16,200 crowns. The demand for a payment of 2,000 crowns to travel this year due to health care was announced by the central office at the end of April. On Monday, Stedula repeated it. Unions point out that most of them are below the poverty line.
An employer with a high rate of disagreement. Remember that investments are growing. Lower energy and fuel prices. Point out that the minimum wage also includes a guaranteed wage. This is paid in eight stages according to expertise, responsibility and complexity of the work. It ranges from the minimum wage to its double, i.e. up to 32,400 crowns.
In the program, there is a clear path with an established formula for the regular valorization of the smallest extension. In the last election period, the then government of Andrej Babia also fulfilled this, but did not agree on the model with the trade unions and employers. The EU is also preparing a directive that would regulate the minimum wage in the Polish countries.
According to FA MKOS, the union’s demands for long-term growth are not pro-inflationary. The resources (inflation) are abroad and the state is absolutely unable to prevent unjustified price increases, says Stedula. In his speech, he criticized Fial’s government for inactivity during the severe health crisis.
Unions will demonstrate
Unions convene a demonstration on January 8 in Prague at Vclavsk Square due to the current crisis. They called on the government to take precautions against health care and the decline of life in the country. The founder of the union said it on Monday at a trade union meeting against poverty. About a press unit from the Customs Department of the Republic arrived in Prague’s Fora Karln. According to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Labor, Marian Jureka, trade union demonstrations lack logic at a time when the government is in charge of planning.
After a long discussion, we agreed to call a demonstration. One of the reasons is the government’s inaction. However, I have time to take steps by that day (January 8). Unfortunately, we still have no reason to believe that it will last. We are dissatisfied, angry, determined to fight for a better Czech Republic. The government has enough time to act, said MKOS head Josef Stedula, who has now collected signatures for his candidacy for president.
According to the Stedula, the trade union center will use the month until the day of the action to mobilize all its members and thus to prepare for further negotiations with the government. If the cabinet does not act, the pedek threatened further actions. He denied that the trade unions would associate themselves with extremists during the action.
According to Jurek, the unions will either act constructively and look for one, or demonstrate. In a situation where the government is finalizing a specific aid package at the EU and national level, this announcement by the trade union does not make sense to me, unless the goal is to demonstrate at any cost, the Deputy Prime Minister changed on Twitter.
Ex-prime minister Andrej Babi also responded to the approval of the demonstration. As for Mr. Stedula, he should choose whether he wants to be a fem union or a presidential candidate. I consider any trade union demonstration to be an insult to the office in the election campaign. In addition, if Mr. Stedula wanted to flood the government, he would have called a demonstration before the municipal and senate elections, not on January 8, Babi shared when asked by the iDNES.cz editors.
MKOS is the largest trade union center in the country. It represents 31 unions with about 270 thousand employees. The gathering has been held every year since 2015. In the past two years, it was not held because of the epidemic.
According to the Ministry of Finance, the average inflation should reach 16.2 percent this year. It could be 8.8 percent next year. The dream of unemployment should remain low. The sum for salaries and wages should rise by 7.9 percent for the fifth year compared to last year.
