Niš City Mayor Dragana Sotirovski, as the representative of the employer, signed a collective contract with the president of the Trade Union Organization of City Administrations, Petar Mićović, which determines the rights and obligations of employees in all six city administrations. This new collective contract enables workers greater rights and better working conditions, which make us as signatories satisfied after the harmonization of an important document for employees, said Niš City Mayor. With the planned novelties and affirmative measures we want satisfied workers who are the „heart“ of the administration and on whom depends how effective the administration is. The new collective contract envisages a significant increase in funds in the field of demographic and pro-natal policy, stated Mayor Sotirovski. We have planned three national average salaries for in vitro fertilization, for each newborn baby two average salaries instead of one and a half, for every third child and for more children than that, instead of three we will give five average salaries. We will provide every employee with a regular health check-up every two years; the Mayor listed some of the planned measures. According to her, those who are hired on the basis of a contract outside regular employment will have the right to paid leave in case of relocation, marriage, and birth of a child, which will equate them with employees. She noted that these are just some of the affirmative measures. We will further improve the status of our employees in accordance with the possibilities and the situation in the budget. Mićović assessed that the employees in the city administrations received a significantly more favorable collective contract than the national one, and expressed hope for the continuation of successful cooperation in further improving the position of employees. On behalf of the City Trade Union and the Trade Union of the Administration of Serbia, Miloš Randjelović thanked for the efforts to achieve the most favorable rights for workers.
