The Union of Trade Unions of Albania and the Albanian Coalition for Rights at Work organized today a peaceful rally in defense of workers’ rights in front of the Prime Minister’s Office on May 1.<\/p>\n
Holding the banner “Dignity for workers”, those present at the protest were workers from different sectors, representatives of different groups and organizations for the protection of workers.<\/p>\n
“Today we are talking about workers’ rights in shoe and clothing factories, have you ever been there? Have you asked those women, have you asked them if they get minimum wage? We are talking about a minimum wage when Europe, even the Balkans, is talking about a quality wage, which allows you to pay the doctor at the end of the month, the basket of quality food, not expired food on offer in markets. For women, let’s stop talking about the minimum wage, but let’s talk about the fair wage”, said one of the participants in the protest.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the Confederation of Trade Unions of Albania protested against the departure of young people from Albania.<\/p>\n
With banners in their hands and suitcases as a symbol of departure, the protesters marched towards Rinas, the place from which many young people leave to secure their livelihood outside Albania.<\/p>\n
