On December 20, 2012 in Novi Sad
(Serbia) the Trade Union Organization of Razvojna Bank of Vojvodina
and the federation SS Bofos organized demonstrations with the slogan
“Let our voice be heard” to express their protest against the
decision of the Provincial Government of Vojvodina and the government
of Serbia to close down Razvojna Bank of Vojvodina because of the
Bank’s large indebtedness. This means that employees of the Bank
will literally be thrown out in the street. The protesters got
together in front of the Central Bank and then proceeded to the seat
of the government of Vojvodina. The protest was supported by a
considerable number of other unions both by their participation in
the protests and/or by telegrams and letters of support.
At the meeting with the Provincial
Minister of Finance both unions have presented their demands related
to employees’ protection that is, implementation of social plan
providing guaranties of a decent severance pay as well as protection
for the most vulnerable employees. The Minister said the aims
presented by the Union were basically normal and it was the interest
of Vojvodina to solve the issue of employees’ position in an
adequate way.
As a result of the protest and the
meeting with the Minister the Provincial government agrees that the
Bank prepares a social plan for the employees. The Union will follow
the implementation of the agreement and undertake necessary
activities in order to have all demands realized.
