Tregu i punës në Kosovë mbetet ende sfidues për pjesëmarrësit në të. Derisa marrëdhënia e Punës në Kosovë rregullohet nga Ligji i Punës, kjo nuk reflektohet edhe në aplikueshmërinë e tij në praktikë. Problemet janë të shumëfishta duke filluar nga kontrata të parregullta, shkelje të kontratës e deri tek mungesa e sigurisë dhe rrezikim i shëndetit në vendin e punës. Pasoja mbetet drejtëpërdrejtë në kualitetin dhe trajtimin e denjë të punëtorëve, duke u rënduar shumë herë edhe veprimtaria e bizneseve.

Ky raport është përgatitur nga stafi i IKS dhe përmbajtja e tij pasqyron kontributin e IKS. Pikëpamjet e shprehura në raport nuk pasqyrojnë domosdoshmërisht pikëpamjet e UNOPS si Organizata Kryesore Zbatuese e projektit.

200 respondents, men and women in the Prishtina region, completed the survey generating data for this report. Its intended use is to generate public discussion on the topics covered, and inform decision-makers and government on key social and welfare policies. The survey and this report have been carried out as part of the “Support to Social Justice Coalition” project, which is within the framework of the UNOPS project “Promoting Decent Work through Strengthening OSH Management and Social Dialogue in Kosovo", funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), represented by the Embassy of Sweden in Prishtina. The exercise aims to highlight the importance of social dialogue, fuel discussion within the newly elected government and inform the operationalization of the Government Program 2021 – 2025, which includes objectives related to poverty eradication, intended to be achieved through reform of social schemes and activating the labor force. These are a cornerstone of social dialogue process and a fundamental aim of the Trade Union existence in the first place.

Since March 2020, when the first confirmed cases of Covid-19 occurred in Kosovo and the lockdown took place, the main societal concern has been the ability of a developing country to manage an unraveling, unprecedented crisis. It quickly became clear that the virus does not discriminate in its impact, leaving us to understand that it does not select victims and that its consequences can be unimaginable. This is best shown by the extremely frightening statistics of this virus, where the number of positive cases worldwide to date is about 93.2 million, with over 2 million deaths, including Kosovo, which so far counts over 55,000 positive cases, with a total of over 1,400 dead - statistics that are growing day by day. However, what is even more dramatic is that the Covid-19 crisis is not only a health crisis, but also a widespread socioeconomic crisis affecting vulnerable members of the society the most.

📄 2018 IKS Fakte

The end of April is marked throughout the world using various awareness-raising campaigns that aim to promote new trends in the field of Health and Safety at work as well as raising awareness on the problem of injuries, diseases and deaths at the workplace.

In Kosovo’s daily newspapers these are mere everyday news. They are chronicles that provide chronical rather than analytical information. Headlines such as: ‘’Another worker dies while working in construction’’ are common. We lack news that give us details that accompany such events. Uncertainties as to who the victim worked for, whether he had a contract, whether he had health insurance, whether work conditions or safety were subject of inspection, the circumstances of his death, whether state institutions requested accountability, whether the family of the victim requested accountability, and many other questions in most cases remain unanswered. That is the reason why such questions are not reported. Moreover, these cases are not treated as part of a phenomenon, and as a result the phenomenon is not treated as a series of problems.

In order to start a comprehensive discussion on the background and subsequently the development of processes linked to deaths in workplaces, Kosovo Stability Initiative – IKS conducted this research dealing with fatal accidents at the workplace. The study aims to analyze what happens after these tragedies happen, respectively provide as much details on this growing problem; in order to see who is to blame, what were the sanctions, respectively whether the families of the victims were compensated.
