THE EMPLOYEES OF KOLSKA ARE PROTESTING IN FRONT OF THE GOVERNMENT

After yesterday's pressures and incapacitation of the employees of the Railway Vehicle Factory "Kolska" from Veles, this morning at 09:00 they started the protest in front of the Government, where they will express their dissatisfaction with the situation in which their factory and the livelihood of their families have been brought.

Yesterday, the railway traffic was blocked for two hours, after 70 employees of "Kolska" boarded a train from Veles to reach Skopje, but the train driver did not leave because the management of Railway Transport did not allow the employees of "Kolska" to ride for free.

The employees warn that although they are asking to work, they are not allowed to work, at the moment there are 25 freight wagons for reparation and one passenger wagon in the "Kolska" workshop, which should be done by the New Year, which is putting further work in jeopardy of the enterprise.

"Kolska" is the only factory with this purpose in the country, which used to be part of the Railways. The remaining 70 of the former 350 employees have been seeking to be part of the Railways again for years.
