Workers of the Kosovo Energy Corporation (KEK) protested in Prishtina today, demanding salary increases and improved working conditions.

The protest, organized by the New Trade Union of the Kosovo Energy Corporation (SRKEK), was held in front of the company's management and Board of Directors' offices.

Protesters carried banners reading “We want a salary increase” and “You cannot impoverish us in silence.”

Among the union's demands are dignified salaries for all employees, payment of the 13th salary, improved working conditions and an assessment of workplace risks.

“We are not asking for charity or privileges, but for the dignity we deserve for the work we do. Tomorrow, we are not taking to the streets to spite anyone, but to stand up for ourselves and our families,” the union said in its protest announcement.
