The President of SSM, Slobodan Trendafilov and the President of SRSVM, Mićo Stojanovski visited the workers at the Kolska Rail Vehicle Factory in Veles.
The workers in Kolska are worried about the future of the factory and are asking the Government, which is 100% owner of it, to provide work through Macedonian Railways by repairing passenger and freight wagons, providing wages and working conditions, especially because of the announcements and unofficial information about a possible bankruptcy and sale of the Factory, which is the only one of its kind for the maintenance of passenger and freight cars in Macedonia.
The Federation of Trade Unions of Macedonia, in the past when the employees were faced with a problem with non-payment of wages and non-provision of work by the previous Government, organized several protests, as well as blockades of railway traffic, and even today it supports the Trade Union Organization and the fifty workers in Kolska who are also looking for regulation of their status by taking over Macedonian Railways and ensuring a secure future for their work and work engagement.
